Countries by Foreign Direct Investment Inflows 2025

About This Dataset

Countries ranked by total inward foreign direct investment in 2025, measured in billions of USD according to UNCTAD World Investment Report. The United States attracted more foreign direct investment than any other country in 2025 — with manufacturing incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act and CHIPS Act continuing to pull hundreds of billions of dollars in factory and semiconductor investment from European and Asian multinationals seeking to secure access to the American market and supply chain.

✨ AI Insight

The disparity in FDI inflows is striking, with the United States attracting more than double the investments of its closest competitor, China, which received $165 billion. This gap can be attributed to the U.S. government's proactive measures like the Inflation Reduction Act and CHIPS Act, which have made the country an attractive destination for manufacturing and technology investments. Singapore's strong position at $142 billion highlights its role as a key financial hub in Asia, but it still lags significantly behind the U.S. The lower inflows for countries like Canada ($71 billion) and India ($68 billion) suggest that while they are growing, they face challenges in competing with the robust incentives offered by the U.S. and the established markets in China and Singapore.
