onshoring

This term is primarily used in economic, political, and corporate contexts to describe a strategic shift in supply chain management. It carries a strong connotation of national security, economic patriotism, and risk mitigation, often appearing in discussions about reducing dependency on foreign markets or responding to global geopolitical instability.

As a gerund-derived noun describing a process, it is typically treated as uncountable. It is the direct antonym of offshoring and is closely related to reshoring, though onshoring specifically emphasizes the act of bringing operations to the home shore.
