State chapter

ReshoreDE

ReshoreDE exists to help Delaware bring manufacturing home through state-level coordination, research, education, partnerships, and practical import-substitution work.

State opportunity

Delaware's reshoring opportunity is measurable.

ReshoreDE can organize Delaware's manufacturers, public leaders, educators, and economic-development partners around a visible $2.3B tier 1-3 reshoring opportunity. The state already has 26,200 manufacturing workers, 660 manufacturers, and $8.2B in manufacturing value added. The data also shows $10.4B in imports against $5.5B in exports, creating a $4.9B trade deficit. That makes Delaware a practical place to identify import-substitution targets, connect buyers and suppliers, and turn reshoring from a national idea into local projects. The opportunity equals roughly 28% of current manufacturing value added and ranks No. 37 nationally in this dataset.
