The Florida Chamber Foundation has released its 2025 Florida Business & Economic Mid-Year Report, providing an overview of the state’s economic and demographic trends as of mid-2025. The report addresses key topics such as population changes, economic growth, inflation, manufacturing sector performance, workforce challenges, and housing affordability.
Florida Secretary of Commerce J. Alex Kelly commented on the significance of the report: “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 document includes an updated economic forecast for Florida for the remainder of 2025. It also revisits predictions made earlier in January at the Florida Economic Outlook & Jobs Solution Summit.
Mark Wilson, President & CEO of both 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.”
The full report is available online for those seeking more detailed information about current trends affecting businesses in Florida.
