Growing and Build the Hyperlocal Manufacturing Economy in Winter

The hyperlocal manufacturing economy shows significant growth during winter months, with a 37% increase in home-based production businesses registered between November and February compared to summer quarters, according to 2024 data from the Small Business Administration. This seasonal shift represents approximately 125,000 new micro-manufacturing enterprises nationwide, generating an estimated $3.2 billion in hyperlocal economic activity.
