Manufacturing: United States

Report Overview

This report forecasts to 2023 and 2027 US manufacturers' shipments in nominal US dollars at the manufacturer level. Total shipments are segmented in nominal US dollars by major industry in terms of: transport equipment; metal and mineral products; electrical and electronic products; machinery; other durable goods, such as wood products, medical equipment and supplies, and furniture and fixtures; food and beverages; chemical and allied products; petroleum and coal products; plastic and rubber products and other nondurable goods such as pharmaceutical and related products, paper products, textile products and apparel, and tobacco.

To illustrate historical trends, total nominal and real shipments, the various segments, trade, and the broad dollar index are provided in annual series from 2012 to 2022.

This report includes both final products and interim components of those final products. Thus, total and segment values are subject to various degrees of double-counting. Re-exports of manufactured goods are excluded from demand and trade figures.

Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided with quantified trends. Other various topics, including environmental and regulatory factors in addition to an overview of global manufacturing, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
