Activities of U.S. Affiliates of Foreign
Multinational Enterprises, 2021
Majority-owned U.S. affiliates of foreign multinational enterprises employed 7.94 million workers in the
United States in 2021, a 2.9 percent increase from 7.71 million workers in 2020, according to statistics
on U.S. affiliate operations and finances released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).
Majority-owned U.S. affiliates accounted for 6.2 percent of total private-industry employment in the
United States in 2021, down slightly from 6.3 percent in 2020 (chart 1). By industry, employment was
largest in manufacturing and in retail trade (table 1). Majority-owned U.S. affiliates with ultimate
owners in the United Kingdom, Japan, and Germany were the largest contributors to employment
(table 2).

Current-dollar value added of majority-owned U.S. affiliates, a measure of their direct contribution to
U.S. gross domestic product, increased 12.6 percent to $1.2 trillion in 2021. These affiliates accounted
for 6.50 percent of total U.S. business-sector value added, down slightly from 6.52 percent in 2020.
Expenditures for property, plant, and equipment by majority-owned U.S. affiliates increased 5.0
percent to $290.8 billion. These affiliates accounted for 17.3 percent of total U.S. private business
capital expenditures. Research and development (R&D) performed by majority-owned U.S. affiliates
increased 9.4 percent to $78.3 billion. These affiliates accounted for 13.3 percent of total U.S. business
R&D in 2020, the latest year for which all-U.S. business R&D data are available.

Chart 2. Majority-Owned U.S. Affiliate Share of Private-Industry Employment by State, 2021

By state (chart 2 and table 4), private-industry employment accounted for by majority-owned U.S.
affiliates was highest in South Carolina (9.5 percent), Michigan (8.8 percent), and New Hampshire (8.7
percent). In all three states, majority-owned U.S. affiliates in the manufacturing sector employed the
most workers (table 3).
Additional statistics on the activities of U.S. affiliates of foreign multinationals including sales, balance
sheet and income statement items, compensation of employees, trade, and more are available on BEA’s
website. More industry-, country-, and state-level detail are available on the website and will be
highlighted in September in the Survey of Current Business.

Definitions
A U.S. affiliate is a U.S. business enterprise in which there is
foreign direct investment—that is, in which a foreign parent
owns 10 percent or more of the U.S. business enterprise.
A majority-owned U.S. affiliate is a U.S. affiliate in which the
combined ownership of all foreign parents, either directly
or indirectly, exceeds 50 percent.
A foreign parent is the first person (in the broad legal sense
to include any individual, partnership, corporation, or other
form of organization), resident outside the United States,
that has a direct investment interest in the affiliate.
The ultimate owner, also referred to as ultimate beneficial
owner (UBO), is that person, proceeding up a chain of
majority ownership (where the entity above owns more
than 50 percent of the entity below), beginning with and
including the foreign parent, that is not owned more than
50 percent by another person. Unlike the foreign parent,
the UBO of an affiliate may be located in the United States.

Value added is the value of the final goods and services
produced by a firm’s labor and property. Value added
represents the firm’s contribution to gross domestic
product. The estimates of value added in this release were
prepared by summing cost and profit data collected in BEA’s
surveys of foreign direct investment in the United States
and are conceptually consistent with BEA’s estimates of
U.S. value added by industry.
Expenditures for property, plant, and equipment cover
total expenditures for land and depreciable structures and
equipment; they are gross of any sales, retirements, or
transfers of previously owned tangible assets.
Research and development (R&D) performed includes
expenditures for R&D performed by the U.S. affiliate,
whether the R&D was for their own use or for use by others,
irrespective of the source of funding.

Statistical conventions
The statistics on the activities of U.S. affiliates of foreign
MNEs are based primarily on data reported in the Annual
and Benchmark Surveys of Foreign Direct Investment in the
United States conducted by BEA. The statistics provide
information on the operations and finances of U.S affiliates
and cover the entire operations of the affiliate, irrespective
of the percentage of foreign ownership.
Majority-owned U.S. affiliate shares of domestic activity are
provided in this news release for employment, value added,
R&D performed, and expenditures for property, plant, and
equipment. These shares are computed by dividing
majority-owned U.S. affiliate activity levels by measures of
domestic activity from other data sets that are
approximately comparable. The majority-owned U.S.
affiliate measures include activities in Puerto Rico and other
U.S. territories; these activities are excluded in the
corresponding domestic measures. For the employment
share presented in this news release, majority-owned U.S.
affiliate data on employment in Puerto Rico and other U.S.
territories are excluded to improve comparability. The
domestic totals used to compute shares are detailed below:

Employment covers the total number of full-time and parttime employees on the payroll at the end of the U.S.
affiliate’s fiscal year.

Statistics on the activities of U.S. affiliates of foreign MNEs

Accounts that, taken together, provide a comprehensive,
integrated, and detailed picture of U.S. international
economic activities.
Statistics on direct investment and multinational
enterprises include annual statistics on the activities of U.S.
MNEs, detailed annual and quarterly statistics on direct
investment, and annual statistics on new foreign direct
investment in the United States.

Statistics on international services, released annually,
include detailed annual information on trade in services and
on services supplied through the channel of direct
investment by affiliates of MNEs.

released quarterly. The IIP is a statistical balance sheet that
presents the dollar value of U.S. financial assets and
