The economy of Indianapolis is centered on the City of Indianapolis and Marion County within the context of the larger Indianapolis metropolitan area. The Indianapolis–Carmel–Anderson, IN MSA, had a gross domestic product (GDP) of $134 billion in 2015. The top five industries were: finance, insurance, real estate, rental, and leasing ($30.7B), manufacturing ($30.1B), professional and business services ($14.3B), educational services, health care, and social assistance ($10.8B), and wholesale trade ($8.1B). Government, if it had been a private industry, would have ranked fifth, generating $10.2 billion.[1]

Compared to Indiana as a whole, the Indianapolis metropolitan area has a lower proportion of manufacturing jobs and a higher concentration of jobs in wholesale trade; administrative, support, and waste management; professional, scientific, and technical services; and transportation and warehousing.[2] The city's major exports include pharmaceuticals, motor vehicle parts, medical equipment and supplies, engine and power equipment, and aircraft products and parts.[3] According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the region's unemployment rate was 2.8 percent in May 2019.[4]

Three Fortune 500 companies are based in the city: health insurance company Elevance Health;[5] pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and Company;[6] and agricultural chemical company Corteva.[7][8] The Indianapolis metropolitan area is also home to five Fortune 1000 companies: financial services holding company CNO Financial Group; auctioneer OPENLANE; hydrocarbon manufacturer Calumet, Inc.; pharmaceutical company Elanco; automotive transmission manufacturer Allison Transmission; and real estate investment trust Simon Property Group.[9] Other notable companies headquartered in the region include law firm and lobbyist Barnes & Thornburg; diversified media company Emmis Corporation;[10] retailers Finish Line, Herff Jones, and Lids;[11] loudspeaker company Klipsch Audio Technologies; manufacturer and distributor Lucas Oil Products;[12] financial services holding company OneAmerica Financial;[13] airline holding company Republic Airways;[14] contract research corporation Envigo; and fast food chains Noble Roman's and Steak 'n Shake.

Downtown Indianapolis is the largest employment cluster in Indiana, with nearly 43,000 jobs per square mile (17,000/km2).[15]

## History

[edit]

### Notable bids

[edit]

In 1991, United Airlines selected Indianapolis International Airport for a $1 billion (equivalent to $2.11 billion in 2023) maintenance operations center after a competitive bidding process involving more than 90 cities.[16] State and local officials agreed to subsidize United's costs by providing nearly $300 million (equivalent to $632.76 million in 2023) in tax credits and other incentives in exchange for thousands of high-wage jobs by 2004.[17] Following United's filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2002, the 1.7 million square foot (160,000 m2) Indianapolis Maintenance Center closed in 2003.[18] According to the Indianapolis Business Journal, "records are hard to come by, but during United's glory days, it is believed to have employed as many as 3,000 people at IMC [Indianapolis Maintenance Center]"—short of the 6,300 jobs United committed to in 1991.[19]

Indianapolis submitted a bid to lure Amazon's HQ2 in 2017.[20] In 2018, the company shortlisted Indianapolis as one of 20 finalists from a pool of 238 bids.[21]

### Foreign trade

[edit]

Since 1981, the Indianapolis Airport Authority has overseen the Greater Indianapolis Foreign Trade Zone, Inc. (FTZ 72) (d/b/a INzone), a federal Foreign-Trade Zone encompassing 41 Central Indiana counties.[22] In 2018, the World Trade Centers Association approved the city's request to establish a local World Trade Center organization.[23]

## Distribution and logistics

[edit]

Indianapolis' central location and extensive highway and rail infrastructure have positioned Indianapolis as an important logistics center. According to the Indy Chamber, the region was home to some 4,300 establishments employing nearly 110,000 in 2020.[24]

Amazon has a major presence in the Indianapolis metropolitan area, employing 9,000[25] across eight fulfillment centers: two in Indianapolis (IND4 and IND8); two in Plainfield (IND2 and IND5); two in Whitestown (IND1 and XUSE); and one each in Greenfield (MQJ1) and Greenwood (IND9). FedEx employs 7,000[26] workers across 35 facilities in the city.[27] The city is home to FedEx Express's National Hub which employs 5,800 workers in sorting, distribution, and shipping at Indianapolis International Airport.[27] The airport ranks among the ten busiest U.S. airports in terms of air cargo throughput.[28] Other notable logistics companies located in the region include Ingram Micro (1,300) and Venture Logistics (1,150).[26]

From the mid-1950s through the late 1980s, American Fletcher National Bank (AFNB), Indiana National Bank (later known as INB Financial Corporation), and Merchants National Corporation were among the three largest banks in the city. Through the 1990s and 2000s, a series of acquisitions claimed the three Indianapolis-based companies. American Fletcher was acquired by Bank One Corporation in 1987 (succeeded in 2004 by Chase Bank); INB Financial Corporation was acquired by the National Bank of Detroit in 1992 (also succeeded by Chase Bank in 2004); and Merchants National Corporation was acquired by National City Corporation in 1992 (succeeded by PNC Financial Services in 2008). Chase maintains a large local presence, with 1,700 employees and local FDIC deposits totaling $13.6 billion, dwarfing all other financial institutions in Central Indiana.[34]

In 2020, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded grants totaling $213 million to the Indiana University School of Medicine to further research, notably in the fields of Alzheimer's disease and pediatrics. Combining grants across several disciplines, the school ranked fifth in the country in funding from the National Institute on Aging. The school ranks 14th among public medical schools, and 29th overall in total NIH funds awarded nationally.[60][42]

Formed in 2013, the Indiana Biosciences Research Institute (IBRI) is a nonprofit research and technology organization based in Indianapolis that serves as a conduit between the state's research universities and life science industries.[61] The IBRI is the first industry-led collaborative life sciences research institute in the U.S., focusing on diabetes, metabolic disease, and poor nutrition.[62][63]

Founded in 1915, Allison Transmission designs and produces commercial duty automatic transmissions and hybrid propulsion systems. The Indianapolis headquarters and manufacturing facilities employs 2,500.[47] Rolls-Royce North America, a subsidiary of United Kingdom-based Rolls-Royce Holdings, dates its local presence to the establishment of the Allison Engine Company in 1915. Its Indianapolis Operations Center has a workforce of 4,000 in aircraft engine development and manufacturing.[69][47] Other major industrial employers include Allegion (1,300) and Raytheon Technologies (1,000).[47]

Historically, manufacturing has been a critical component of Indianapolis' economic landscape; however, deindustrialization since the mid-20th century has significantly impacted the city's workforce. Between 1990 and 2012, approximately 26,900 manufacturing jobs were lost in the city as it continued diversification efforts and transitioned to a service economy.[70] Indianapolis is typically considered part of the Rust Belt, a region of the Northeastern and Midwestern U.S. beleaguered by industrial and population decline.[71] In 2016, Carrier Corporation announced the closure of its Indianapolis plant, moving 1,400 manufacturing jobs to Mexico.[72] Other major manufacturers with a former presence in Indianapolis include RCA (later Technicolor SA) and Western Electric.
