The term "local content" emerged in the 1970s within resource-rich countries, particularly in the oil and gas sector, as governments sought to ensure foreign investments directly benefited local economies. Policies mandated the use of local labor, goods, and services while fostering skill and technology transfers to local enterprises. Initially tied to post-colonial economic strategies aimed at reducing dependence on foreign companies, local content policies promoted job creation, capacity building, and community investments. Over the past 100 years, the concept has expanded into industries such as renewable energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, and entertainment. Today, local content is a cornerstone of sustainable development, supporting economic mobility and resilience, while empowering local businesses and communities across public and private sectors.

The term "domestic content" originated in the mid-20th century, grounded in protectionist trade and industrial policies that prioritized domestically produced goods, labor, and materials. Initially prominent in sectors like automotive and steel, it supported national industries and reduced trade deficits. By the 1970s and 1980s, domestic content became integral to trade agreements and subsidy policies in industries like energy and electronics. Today, domestic content policies remain vital for economic resilience, enhancing global competitiveness while balancing national priorities

These regulatory or contractual stipulations designed to ensure that a certain percentage of goods, services, labor, or materials used in a project or industry comes from local (geographically specific) or domestic (national) sources. These policies are widely applied across industries to stimulate economic growth, create jobs, and foster sustainable development. These percentages typically range between 20% and 40%, depending on the project’s scale and jurisdictional regulations across almost every industry.

By ensuring adherence to these requirements, Local Content initiatives stimulate job creation, support small businesses, and encourage investments in communities, thereby improving the overall quality of life for residents and commercial taxpayers.
