Stefanie Miller, a research analyst with Height Securities, said she expects big U.S. technology companies, the U.S. apparel industry and the U.S. agricultural sector would benefit.

The Semiconductor Industry Association, whose members include Qualcomm QCOM, +2.23% and Texas Instruments TXN, +2.58% , also lauded the deal. The group noted the deal contains rules preventing market-access restrictions on commercial products with encryption, and other new requirements.

The U.S. pharmaceutical industry, meanwhile, said it was unhappy with the deal — as did a key member of Congress.
