This marks a net gain of more than 17,000 jobs from the previous year, the largest year-over-year increase among all source countries and regions.
U.K. investment is concentrated in high-wage, service-driven industries, with more than 43,000 jobs in professional and business services and 26,000 in manufacturing.
Japan continues to rank second among FOEs with 127,138 jobs and remains the state leader in FOE establishments with 3,391.
Japan added more than 14,000 jobs in 2025, but its expansion remains concentrated in traditional industries, such as manufacturing and wholesale trade, which together account for more than half of Japanese FOE employment.
Although Japan’s overall footprint is broader, the United Kingdom’s growth in service-based sectors reflects a shift in the composition of foreign investment toward higher-value and knowledge-based activities.
