Importing From Low-Cost Countries
For many many years now, companies have been having their products mass-manufactured in Asia, usually in and around Southern China as this is now recognised as the global manufacturing centre of the world.
The main reason for this is because the currency in China (Yuan) is worth a lot less than British currency, American currency, or most other currencies for that matter.
That is pretty much the main reason that a lot of companies source their products from Asia. I mean, what more reason does a company need to do something if its going to save them lots of money in the long term? But there are some other advantages, and a few disadvantages.
The advantages are few, but still obliterate the disadvantages in my opinion. Of course the main one, price is a big factor as I previously mentioned. There are 11.2 Chinese Yuan for every 1 British pound so you do get a lot more for your money.
Also, you can get in with the Chinese trading industry, and if you can become known among them, this can be infinitely advantageous. Another advantage is that you will undoubtedly wind up closer to the raw materials you need, hence you save money on that as well!
One of the main disadvantages of this, is the cost of importing the products from China. This can be seen as extra expenditure, but compared with the money saved on the manufacturing, I would say this bares an insignificance.
As well as that, there's the time that shipping takes. This is probably more of a disadvantage as this could result in loss of turnover if demand for your product is high enough. Also, the production might be a little sloppy to start with, but if you get a good sourcing company to sort it all out for you, they will ensure that this doesn't happen.
In summary, it is my personal belief that sourcing form low cost countries such as Southern China is far more advantageous to businesses than domestic sourcing. - 23222
