US Market Trends and Investment

The United States is experiencing renewed investment in domestic electronics and advanced manufacturing, supported by demand for AI infrastructure, data centres and resilient supply chains. In June 2025, Jabil announced plans to invest approximately USD 500 million over several years to expand its manufacturing footprint in the southeastern United States, targeting cloud and AI data centre infrastructure. Flex also expanded its US manufacturing capacity in February 2025 through a new 400,000-square-foot Dallas facility focused on power products supporting data centre infrastructure. Additionally, Apple's February 2025 announcement of more than USD 500 billion in planned US spending over four years reinforced the broader manufacturing investment environment. These developments demonstrate how AI computing, domestic production and supply-chain diversification are creating opportunities for contract manufacturers and electronics suppliers.

Market Segmentation: Leading Segments

By service type, electronic manufacturing dominated the market in 2025, accounting for more than 44% of total revenue. Its leading position reflects strong OEM demand for outsourced production, assembly capabilities and large-scale manufacturing infrastructure. Contract manufacturers enable companies to access specialised facilities and production expertise without making substantial investments in their own manufacturing operations.

By end-use, IT and telecommunications held the largest share, accounting for more than 47% of market revenue in 2025. Demand for smartphones, networking equipment, communication infrastructure, servers and data centre hardware continues to support this segment. The expansion of cloud computing and high-speed connectivity is further increasing requirements for advanced electronic manufacturing services.
