Made-in-China Loses Its Cost Advantage

China’s manufacturing cost advantage has been cut by almost 20 percent and multinational companies are reducing the procurement of consumer goods from China, China Business News reported.

 

The paper quoted Shanghai International Sourcing Promotion Center as saying that due to the rising raw material prices and yuan appreciation trend, the cost advantage of “Made in China” has been cut by close to 20 percent. Many purchasing orders of consumer goods have transferred from China to Southeast Asian countries and Romania.
