Our Mission The mission of the Maryland Chamber of Commerce is to advance inclusive partnerships for a Maryland where all businesses and their communities thrive.

Introduction Now in its second year, the Competitiveness Redbook benchmarks how Maryland performs across 50+ economic indicators, ranging from business friendliness to workforce and infrastructure. This year’s Redbook provides a data-driven analysis of Maryland’s economic health, offering benchmarks and insights into areas of strength and opportunities for future improvement. Our goal for this publication and the data within is to spark conversations, inform strategic policy work and foster partnerships — all geared towards enhancing Maryland’s competitiveness. By leveraging this data and the insights it offers, together we can shape an environment that attracts investment and talent, fostering economic growth and creating opportunities for all people, businesses and communities to thrive.

At a Glance: Strengths & Opportunities Top insights and trends from this year’s data include: Tech and Manufacturing Momentum: Maryland stands out in tech wages (6th), employment (15th), and manufacturing productivity (7th). Strategic initiatives aimed at fortifying these strengths amid concerns of slowing tech growth and manufacturing competitiveness are needed. GDP & Exports: With a $470 billion economy, Maryland is a major player (17th) in the U.S. However, our low growth rate (49th) demands attention. Addressing challenges in GDP growth and exports is vital for sustaining economic strength.

Eye on Competitiveness: Areas of Concern Areas in need of considerable improvement include: Energy: Maryland ranks among the top states in the nation for high energy prices, placing 10th for industrial, 13th for commercial and 16th for residential customers in terms of average retail electricity prices per KwH. Price hikes in Maryland exceed the national average, with only eight other states experiencing a higher cost jump for industrial energy prices and four states experiencing a higher cost increase for commercial and residential. Despite the state’s renewable energy goals, there was a slight decrease in the use of renewable sources from 2021 to 2022.

Population and Workforce Challenges: Maryland faces headwinds in population growth (43rd), with a loss of 9,950 people and a net domestic migration loss of over 45,000. The state’s employment growth is also of great concern, ranking 37th for jobs added and 49th for percentage of job growth. Strategies to attract and retain residents and job creators are imperative. Business Friendliness: While climbing to 22nd in CNBC’s Top States for Business, Maryland sees declining ranks in the cost of doing business (47th) and education (21st). Proactive measures are needed to enhance competitiveness amidst a stagnant economy (31st) and decreased business openings. Tax Competitiveness: Tax competitiveness remains a significant challenge for Maryland, with high effective tax rates for residential (ranked 6th highest) and commercial properties (ranked 10th highest). What’s more, Maryland is ranked 45th in overall business tax climate according to the Tax Foundation’s State Business Tax Climate Index. Maryland is ranked as having the 10th highest per capita burden for state and local taxes in the nation. Transportation Infrastructural Gaps: Despite slight improvements, Maryland’s transportation challenges persist, with rankings that put our state’s road investments towards the bottom in the nation. Underinvestment in road infrastructure, increased commute times and limited public transit viability pose barriers to economic growth.

These highlights serve as a preview of the comprehensive report to follow, filled with data aimed at guiding us in our collaborative work to strengthen our state, our economy and our competitiveness. Be sure to explore in depth data-driven glimpses at topics spanning population, workforce, business friendliness, energy costs and resources, taxation, transportation, minimum wage, home ownership, manufacturing and technology online at mdchamber.org/competitiveness.
