The Florida Chamber Foundation has released its 2025 Florida Business & Economic Mid-Year Report, aiming to provide business leaders with updated data and analysis on the state’s economic conditions at the midpoint of the year. The report examines key issues such as population changes, economic growth, inflation trends, the status of manufacturing in Florida, workforce challenges, and housing affordability.
Florida Secretary of Commerce J. Alex Kelly said, “The Florida Chamber Foundation’s 2025 Florida Business & Economic Mid-Year Report is a reflection of our Governor’s focus on manufacturing, the talent pipeline and infrastructure investments, and a strategic tool that illustrates how deliberate investments and collaboration amongst partners can deliver results. Business leaders today need reliable, forward-looking insights to make informed investments of resources and time, and equally they need proof that the Florida formula continues to create the fastest moving, most business friendly environment in the world. This report equips CEOs and job creators of all shapes and sizes with the context and clarity to understand Florida’s headwinds and tailwinds, and how they may ripple across their region.”
The mid-year publication includes an updated economic forecast for Florida for the remainder of 2025. It also revisits predictions made by the Foundation earlier this year during its annual summit focused on economic outlooks and employment solutions.
Mark Wilson, President & CEO of both the Florida Chamber of Commerce and its Foundation stated: “Understanding the trends driving Florida’s economy gives business leaders a competitive edge. We’re providing a full economic toolkit—from headline analysis to sector-specific data—to help decision-makers anticipate what’s next and plan with confidence.”
The full report is available online for those interested in further details about current demographic patterns, sector performance, workforce dynamics, and policy impacts shaping Florida’s business landscape.
