The 2025 State of Site Selection

October 3, 2025

Corporate location strategy is changing, and the 2025 State of Site Selection annual report details new factors influencing company growth decisions.

  • How is tariff volatility reshaping risk strategy?
  • Why are power constraints eliminating sites early?
  • How is site scarcity shifting selection toward availability? 
  • Why are talent needs redefining workforce strategy? 
  • How is reputation risk driving community engagement?

The Site Selectors Guild partnered with Development Counsellors International (DCI) for this year’s 42-page report, highlighting a site selection environment shaped by optimism from U.S. manufacturing growth, office market recovery, and increased FDI, alongside caution due to tariff changes, energy grid issues, workforce shortages, and greater scrutiny of incentives.

For those interested in a tailored presentation for their team, board, or stakeholders regarding the findings and implications for their community, please contact Robyn Domber for more details.
