The third edition of a primary research study, The State of Site Selection, identifies the top trends impacting facility location decisions globally. The report is a joint release of the Site Selectors Guild (the Guild), the only association of the world’s foremost professional site selection consultants, and Development Counsellors International (DCI), the leader in travel, economic development and talent attraction marketing.
The first edition of this report was released in March 2020, just days before the COVID-19 shutdown. The second edition was released in September 2022, which identified a surplus of office space and a shortage of industrial sites, in part due to the impacts of the pandemic.
