American Made: A Trend That is Here to Stay

Over the past year it has been my pleasure to work with dozens of wholesale companies dedicated to manufacturing American-made products. Being this close to these manufacturers has reinforced my belief in the quality of these products, and the service that comes with them. 

Each year reports show an increase in customer loyalty to American-made products, and when given an option an astounding number of consumers would choose American-made even at a higher price. A recent Consumer Reports study shows that 8 in 10 American consumers say they would rather buy an American-made product than an imported one. Also, over 60% say they are willing to pay 10% more for and American-made product. This poses the question, how will our market keep up with the demand for American-made goods?

This demand can be partially satisfied by the thousands of manufacturing jobs returning to the United States. Labor costs are leveling worldwide, bringing China’s labor costs just 10% below that of America (Fortune.com). This small difference in savings encourages companies to manufacture on US soil to avoid shipping delays and lower quality standards. Secondly, this demand can be satisfied by retail stores committing to buying American-made, and giving consumers the products they are searching for.
