About the manufacturing industry

The manufacturing industry is a key global economic driver and underpins almost every aspect of modern life. Here are some facts about the sector.

In 2021, manufacturing contributed $2.3 trillion to the U.S. economy, amounting to 12.0% of the total U.S. GDP.

The U.S. manufacturing sector drives 20 percent of the nation's capital investment and 35 percent of productivity growth.

Over the last two years, the U.S. economy has added 830,000 manufacturing jobs.

Manufacturing employs 9.6% of all U.S. workers.

The sector is expected to add 4 million new manufacturing positions by 2030.

The largest manufacturing subsector in the U.S. is computer and electronic products, followed by chemical manufacturing, then food, beverage, and tobacco products.

The manufacturing industry has a substantial environmental impact, primarily through greenhouse gas emissions. The industry is poised for growth, with new jobs expected to be added, but it also faces challenges in productivity and environmental sustainability.

Fluent Conveyors is proud to help our manufacturing partners increase efficiency while decreasing cost.
