Even as global growth cools and trade patterns shift, this new analysis from the Global Electronics Association shows that U.S. electronics manufacturing remains one of the most powerful drivers of economic resilience. The report finds that the sector supports 5.2 million American jobs, contributes $853 billion to U.S. GDP, and generates nearly $1.8 trillion in total economic output, reflecting the combined value of what the industry produces directly and what it drives across supply chains and household spending.

The study highlights how electronics manufacturing extends far beyond chips and devices to power a vast ecosystem of innovation. With average wages exceeding $150,000 and high concentrations of activity in states such as California, Texas, and Oregon, the industry continues to anchor high-skill, high-wage employment and strengthen the foundations of U.S. competitiveness, productivity, and growth.
