The Florida Chamber Foundation has released its 2025 Florida Business & Economic Mid-Year Report, which aims to provide business leaders with current data and analysis on the state’s economic landscape. The report reviews key issues such as population trends, demographic changes, economic growth, inflation, manufacturing strength, 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.” Kelly added that the report is designed to help business leaders understand both opportunities and challenges within the state: “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 publication includes an updated economic forecast for Florida for the remainder of 2025. It also revisits earlier predictions presented by the Chamber Foundation during its annual summit held in January.
Mark Wilson, President & CEO of the Florida Chamber of Commerce and 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.”
