US Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) 2025 Mid-Year Trends [Infographic]

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is a critical indicator of a region’s economic vitality and global competitiveness.

For economic development organizations (EDOs) of all sizes, understanding where international capital is flowing and what is driving that movement is essential for:

• Shaping effective business attraction strategies
• Targeting the right industries
• Supporting local suppliers of foreign companies

Tracking FDI data allows EDOs to identify their region’s role in the global economy and uncover opportunities to attract investment in strategic sectors. It can also help with business retention and expansion programs by revealing growing trends or specific needs of foreign companies.

At Camoin Associates, we help economic development leaders uncover and interpret FDI data relevant to their geography and goals. We have worked with states, regions, and cities to analyze global investment trends, among other economic indicators, to inform industry strategy and site readiness efforts.

This 2025 mid-year report offers a high-level snapshot of FDI investment trends in the US from January to May of this year.
