Abstract

This paper offers a market-oriented perspective into reshoring and the drivers of manufacturing sourcing. Starting in the 1980s, businesses sought to capture cost advantages by moving their manufacturing offshore. As those cost advantages dried up, the first notable incident of reshoring occurred in 2012, and the momentum continues to increase. This paper looks at some of the ripple effects of reshoring on supply chains, transportation routes, brand management, and even political rivalries
