The State of Site Selection
DCI & Site Selectors Guild Unveil 2025 Edition of The State of Site Selection Report
Risk. Readiness. Reputation.
Corporate location strategy has entered a new era, and the State of Site Selection 2025 report captures the forces reshaping how and where companies choose to grow.
In partnership with the Site Selectors Guild, Development Counsellors International presents the fourth edition of this in-depth research study, offering a timely lens into the evolving priorities of corporate decision-makers and their advisors.
This year’s 42-page report reveals a site selection landscape marked by both optimism—driven by the resurgence of U.S. manufacturing, office market recovery and inbound FDI—and caution, as consultants navigate project paralysis caused by tariff volatility, energy grid constraints, workforce shortages and increasing political scrutiny of incentives.
Key insights include:
- How tariff volatility is reshaping risk strategy.
- Why power constraints are eliminating sites early.
- How site scarcity is shifting selection toward availability.
- Why talent needs are redefining workforce strategy.
- How reputation risk is driving community engagement.
Whether you’re guiding corporate expansion or shaping community competitiveness, the State of Site Selection 2025 report is your essential guide to understanding the new rules of the game.
