Supporting the U.S. economy: the economic impact of Reckitt in the U.S.
This study, commissioned by Reckitt, assesses the economic footprint of Reckitt’s U.S. operations on the U.S. economy in 2023.
Reckitt is responsible for producing some of the most recognizable health, hygiene, and nutrition brands in the United States (U.S). The company’s overarching purpose to protect, heal, and nurture is fundamental to how the business is run.
The U.S. is Reckitt’s largest global market, and it has operations across its manufacturing sites, distribution centers, and Research and Development (R&D) centers of excellence throughout the country.
In our analysis, we estimate that Reckitt’s U.S. operations supported a total contribution to GDP of $4.6 billion in 2023, spread across all 50 states. This economic contribution was estimated to have sustained around 27,600 jobs throughout the country, as well as $1.0 billion in tax revenues.
However, Reckitt’s contribution to the U.S. extends beyond this footprint, and a series of case studies, selected by Reckitt, highlight the wider impact the company has across the country.
