Reshoring
1. The dollar has weakened
2. Wage differentials have narrowed between U.S. and key manufacturing economies
3. Natural gas prices have declined in America relative to global price levels
4. Global supply chains have become slower and more expensive
5. Various forms of volatility have become more apparent and thus a larger concern
6. Miscellaneous other factors point in the same direction: “nearsourcing” (IP, Quality
Control)
