Texas was a hotbed for corporate relocations in 2021

AUSTIN, Texas — In 2021, 62 corporations relocated their headquarters to Texas, according to a report released today by elite business network YTexas. The 2022 edition of the Relo Tracker Report analyzes corporate relocation data to identify key trends and notable moves to Texas.

“Texas is pro-business, and there’s a reason these major corporations are choosing to relocate here. We have one of the largest economies in the world, a lower cost of living, favorable tax rates, fewer regulations, and access to top-tier talent,” said Ed Curtis, CEO of YTexas.

According to the report, the companies that moved their headquarters to Texas relocated from 17 states and three countries. California had the highest corporate migration with 25 companies choosing to relocate their headquarters to Texas.

The United Kingdom represented the most international corporate relocations to Texas (four companies), followed by Israel (three companies).

Central Texas significantly outpaced the rest of the state with 29 new corporate relocations to cities within the region. North Texas had the second-highest with 27 corporate relocations in 2021.

The 62 corporations that relocated to Texas represented 15 different industries. Technology was the leading industry relocating to the state followed by manufacturing.
