US Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Trends Report
JuneāSeptember 2025
Foreign direct investment (FDI) remains one of the most reliable indicators of long-term economic confidence, capital mobility, and regional competitiveness. While short-term market cycles fluctuate, global investors allocate capital where they see durable demand, infrastructure readiness, and scalable returns.
Between June and September 2025, US FDI activity softened year-over-year. However, the composition of those investments tells a far more constructive storyāone that matters directly to commercial real estate investors, developers, and operators across the United States.
This report breaks down what the data actually signals and why CRE-focused marketsāparticularly those tied to energy transition, manufacturing, and real assetsācontinue to attract global capital.
Why FDI Matters for Commercial Real Estate
Foreign direct investment is not speculative capital. These are long-horizon commitments tied to physical assets, workforce development, and supply-chain strategy. For commercial real estate stakeholders, FDI trends influence:
ā¢ Industrial and logistics demand
ā¢ Manufacturing and life-sciences site selection
ā¢ Capital inflows into commercial real estate assets
ā¢ Job creation that fuels housing, retail, and services
ā¢ Long-term absorption and rent growth
Markets that attract FDI consistently outperform in asset stability and long-term valuation.
National FDI Snapshot: JuneāSeptember 2025
Key US Metrics
ā¢ 546 FDI projects announced
ā¢ 26% decline year-over-year
ā¢ $35.2 billion in total capital investment
ā¢ 18% decline year-over-year
ā¢ 55,526 estimated jobs created
ā¢ 436 foreign companies invested
ā¢ The US captured 12% of all global FDI projects
Interpretation for Investors:
While headline volumes declined, the US remains one of the most attractive destinations globallyāparticularly for capital-intensive, strategic investments rather than short-cycle expansion projects.
This reflects investor selectivity, not capital flight.
Who Is Investing in the United States?
Top Investing Regions
ā¢ Western Europe: ~$15ā16B invested
ā¢ Asia-Pacific: ~$15ā16B invested
ā¢ Each region supported over 23,000 US jobs
These regions continue to anchor US-bound FDI due to regulatory stability, deep capital markets, and demand for real assets.

Why Texas Matters for CRE Investors:
Texas ranked #1 in project volume, reinforcing its position as a diversified, scalable, business-friendly market. This volume translates into sustained demand for:
ā¢ Industrial and flex properties
ā¢ Manufacturing facilities
ā¢ Workforce housing
ā¢ Retail and service assets
For CRE investors, velocity matters as much as headline capital totals.

What This Signals:
ā¢ Renewable energy deals are large, infrastructure-heavy, and long-term
ā¢ Real estate leads in project count, reflecting global demand for US assets
ā¢ Industrial equipment and pharma reinforce domestic manufacturing trends
These sectors directly support industrial, multifamily, medical office, and logistics demand.
Strategic Takeaways for CRE Investors & Operators
ā¢ Capital-intensive sectors remain active despite fewer total projects
ā¢ Energy transition and advanced manufacturing anchor global confidence
ā¢ Real estate remains a preferred hard-asset allocation for foreign capital
ā¢ Investor psychology has shifted toward fewer, larger, higher-quality deals
ā¢ Markets with infrastructure, labor, and entitlement readiness outperform
This environment rewards preparation, not speculation.
Closing Perspective
Although US FDI activity declined modestly year-over-year in mid-2025, the underlying investment composition reflects long-term strategic confidenceānot retreat.
For commercial real estate investors and developers, the message is clear: global capital continues to favor US markets aligned with energy, manufacturing, logistics, and real assets. Regions that can support these sectors will remain on the radar for the next cycle of expansion.
