Frequently Asked Overseas Manufacturing Questions

Why are companies fleeing China?

Increased cost of doing business due not only the recent tariffs, but the growing economy of China itself. This has left a lot of opportunity for competing nations to offer better service, pricing, access to resources and overall sourcing/supply chain value.

More recently, China’s threat of potentially hostility in, and around Taiwan, leave some companies looking for an alternative in the event of a ‘worst case scenario’. Not to mention the depletion of the US dollar in China, all giving cause for concern.

Which country will replace China as a manufacturing hub?

China is known as "the world's factory" because of its strong business ecosystem, relatively lax commercial regulations, low taxes and duties, and competitive currency practices – and all these served as a great model for foreign competitors.

All of these amicable traits and more can be found in other countries striving to take the top spot, and that’s where AASA comes in. AASA is not only one of the largest overseas sourcing and manufacturing company in competing countries like India, Vietnam and Thailand, but we have live staff there and long-standing relationships with vetted factories.
