If you or your clients need deep insight into global manufacturing metrics, you’ll get it in the 2025 MPI Manufacturing Study. The MPI Group has been conducting this Study since 2003, amassing one of the world’s premier databases of plant-level data.

The Study offers insights into best practices and performance metrics across human resources, operations, supply chain, capacity/equipment/IT, sustainability, and other strategic functions. More than 20 different manufacturing sectors are surveyed via respondents in North America, Europe, and Asia, from companies with annual revenues ranging from $10 million USD to more than $10 billion USD.

As with all MPI-branded studies, clients can buy or license the data, sponsor the study with co-branding rights, or purchase one of MPI’s benchmarking toolkits. Other MPI-branded studies this year will examine:

  • Companies’ use of original business research;
  • Supply chains and artificial intelligence (AI);
  • Next-generation energy practices; and,
  • New trends in customer value.

We also have a full slate of bespoke client research including:

  • Market size and shape studies;
  • Market research and validation;
  • Industry benchmarks;
  • Management trend analysis;
  • Customer/member value gap analysis; and
  • Economic development opportunity assessments.

MPI’s proven, proprietary process can help for-profit and not-for profit organizations reach the research targets they need with fast, accurate data collection. In fact, a typical project with 100 to 400 participants can be accomplished in as little as six to eight weeks, from kick-off to findings.

Recently MPI published some previously private findings from the 2024 MPI Manufacturing Study to promote the current study. It’s a good place to find out if the 2025 Study findings can help you — and your clients — plan for more profitable future. Reach out to MPI CEO John R. Brandt to get started.
