Many of the most influential brands in the world choose China manufacturing because of its numerous benefits. While manufacturing jobs have been on the decline in many countries, China has expanded its capacity. This Asian nation currently has the industry’s largest workforce, with over 112 million workers. Consider these 11 benefits of manufacturing in China.
1. China Manufacturing Costs Are Low
Many domestic manufacturers have significantly higher overhead costs than in China. Additionally, these companies have high employee turnover and spend more money training new employees. The cost savings your business can experience by using Chinese facilities make it possible to sell your products at lower prices than if you manufactured them domestically. The manufacturing market in China is very competitive, which allows businesses to shop around for the best prices and services.
2. Production Capacity Can Be Increased
The rise in the popularity of China manufacturing has driven Chinese companies to develop expertise in scaling the capabilities of their facilities. Chinese factories know how to produce large quantities of high-quality products in short periods of time. This can be particularly useful for businesses that are launching new products or need to meet high levels of seasonal demand.
3. The Need To Find and Train Employees Is Reduced
The lower cost of labor with China manufacturing is well known; however, that is not the only benefit your business can enjoy by outsourcing your production. You also avoid the need to find, hire and train employees, which can save you thousands of dollars per employee.
4. It Is Easier To Expand or Diversify
Many businesses working with domestic wholesalers find it difficult to launch new product lines or take advantage of emerging markets on the fly. China manufacturing makes this process much easier. It also makes it easier to sell your products in international markets.
5. It Gives Advantages to Start-Ups and Small Businesses
The high cost of manufacturing domestically favors large established companies that can afford the high upfront costs of equipment, facilities and employee training. However, small businesses and businesses that are trying to break into an industry often do not have the resources to finance these costs. Additionally, it can be difficult to be competitive in the market, because of the high prices these businesses must charge to make a profit. In addition to significant cost savings, China manufacturing has low defect rates, ensuring that a product launch isn’t derailed by product returns.
6. Lead Times Don’t Have To Be Long
Some businesses are hesitant to use China manufacturing because of the delay caused by waiting for products to be shipped overseas. However, there are steps your business can take to reduce lead times. Placing frequent orders allows you to have a constant supply of products so that you are never waiting around for inventory to arrive. Automating your orders can further save you time. Finally, many suppliers offer data integration services that make it possible for the factory to track your inventory levels and automatically generate a purchase order when new inventory is needed.
7. You Can Trust Our Partnering Process
China manufacturing has received some negative press concerning unscrupulous business practices. Additionally, it can be challenging to work with an overseas factory due to the distance, language barriers and other issues. However, working with a trusted partner such as China 2 West can eliminate those concerns.

8. Technology Makes Communication Easy
Distance and language barriers no longer need to be a reason to avoid China manufacturing. Text messaging, emails, VOIP, video conferencing and other technologies makes communicating with your partners in China easy and inexpensive. Most facilities employ English-speaking representatives. When you work with China 2 West, you can communicate to us in your language and we will communicate with the factory in theirs.
