BuildBlock, NRI America to Publish US Market Entry Strategy White Paper

BuildBlock, a U.S. real estate services firm, is collaborating with NRI America, a global strategy consulting firm, to release a "2026 US Market Entry Strategy White Paper." The publication aims to assist Asian companies navigating the complexities of entering the U.S. market.

With rising U.S. tariffs and trade agreements emphasizing local production, the white paper will offer crucial insights into site selection, permitting processes, infrastructure development, and construction costs. This guidance is designed for companies looking to establish a physical presence in the United States.

The initiative comes as Asian nations, including South Korea and Japan, have pledged significant investments in the U.S. South Korea committed approximately $350 billion, while Japan agreed to invest $550 billion. Data from the U.S. Department of Commerce indicates that direct investment by Asian companies in U.S. manufacturing has reached record highs in recent years.

The intensifying global tariff environment makes direct exports increasingly challenging for maintaining price competitiveness. Consequently, businesses are seeking to establish U.S.-based production facilities and logistics hubs to benefit from tariff exemptions and secure their market position.
