According to McKinsey & Company, the U.S. manufacturing industry represents only 11 percent of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) and eight percent of direct employment, yet it "makes a disproportionate economic contribution, including 20 percent of the nation’s capital investment, 35 percent of productivity growth, 60 percent of exports, and 70 percent of business R&D spending."<ref name="CarrDeliver22">{{cite web |url=https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/operations/our-insights/delivering-the-us-manufacturing-renaissance |title=Delivering the US manufacturing renaissance |author=Carr, T.; Chewning, E.; Doheny, M. et al. |work=McKinsey & Company |date=29 August 2022 |accessdate=24 March 2023}}</ref> These categories of economic contribution are important as many of them indirectly point to how the work of [[Laboratory|laboratories]] is interwoven within the manufacturing industry. As we'll discuss later in this chapter, manufacturing-based laboratories primarily serve three roles: research and development (R&D), pre-manufacturing and manufacturing, and post-production regulation and security (e.g., through exports and trade). We can be sure that if U.S. manufacturers' efforts represent huge chunks of total business R&D spending, trade, and capital expenditure (capex), a non-trivial amount of laboratory effort is associated with that spending. Why? Because R&D, trade, and manufacturing [[quality control]] (QC) activities rarely can occur without laboratories backing up their work.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Ischi |first=H.

Labs in the manufacturing sector provide vital services, including but not limited to [[quality assurance]] (QA), QC, production control, regulatory trade control (e.g., authenticity and adulteration), safety management, label claim testing, and packaging analysis. These activities occur in a countless number of manufacturing industries, including:
