In recent years, the Nearshoring concept has gained prominence in the strategies of international companies seeking operational efficiency, cost reduction and greater competitiveness in the North American market. Unlike Offshoring, which prioritizes production in remote locations due to its low cost, Nearshoring focuses on geographical proximity as a way to reduce logistics deadlines, operational risks and overall import costs.

In this scenario, strategically positioned regions, such as the state of Florida, have become ideal destinations for logistics operations by international companies. The strategic location close to logistics hubs, such as the Port of Jacksonville, creates a series of clear competitive advantages for those who adopt this practice.

Nearshoring Benefits for U.S. Operations

Significant Reduction of Logistics Costs

The proximity to ports and road infrastructure allows for a significant reduction in transportation costs and times. This directly translates into lower operating expenses and greater delivery predictability, critical aspects for efficient supply chain management.

Increasing Resilience and Reducing Risks

The recent disruption of global production chains due to events such as the pandemic, trade wars and geopolitical challenges highlighted the need for more resilient chains. The geographical proximity allows an agile response to problems, reducing the risk of prolonged interruptions in the production chain.

Greater Flexibility and Adaptability

Operations close to the consumer market allow greater agility in response to rapid changes in demand. Companies that adopt Nearshoring are able to quickly adapt their inventories, products, and services to the specific preferences and needs of American consumers.
