Supply Chain Efficiency Drives Global Expansion
SYDNEY — Nearly half of global C-suite executives are planning to establish a legal presence in the United States within the next year, according to recent research by CSC. This move is largely driven by the desire to improve supply chain and manufacturing efficiency, highlighting the ongoing appeal of the U.S. market.
The research, which surveyed 300 C-level leaders from companies based in Europe, the U.K., Asia Pacific, and South America, found that 45% intend to expand into the U.S. within 12 months. An additional 27% are considering entry in the next two to three years, demonstrating strong momentum toward U.S. expansion.
Operational efficiencies are a key motivator, with 65% of respondents citing supply chain improvements as a primary reason for their plans. Strategic positioning, including opportunities for partnerships and access to capital markets, also plays a significant role, according to CSC’s latest report.
Challenges in U.S. Market Entry
Despite the enthusiasm, companies acknowledge significant challenges in entering the U.S. market. Federal and state tax reporting is identified as the most burdensome compliance issue by 88% of executives, with employment regulations following closely.
“Companies are often surprised by the complexity of U.S. tax and financial reporting,” said Jenn Kenton, chief commercial officer at CSC. “Navigating these challenges requires understanding the diverse rules at federal, state, and local levels.”
To mitigate these complexities, 79% of executives are likely to outsource compliance functions. CSC, with over 125 years of experience, provides comprehensive services to support companies in maintaining U.S. compliance. companies are increasingly looking to technology solutions to streamline operations and ensure adherence to all regulatory requirements. This trend is expected to continue as more firms realize the potential benefits of technological integration in their U.S. operations.
