Japanese Apparel Companies Are Concerned About The New Trend Of "China +1"

< p > with the increasing cost of labor and raw materials in China, Japanese businesses began to accelerate the search for new OEM strongholds.

Besides China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Burma, Kampuchea, Indonesia and other countries are listed as new production bases.

This new trend of overseas production layout is called the "China +1" mode by Japanese industry.

< p > to minimize the increase in the cost of the Japanese yen due to the depreciation of the Japanese yen, at present, the Japanese companies have speeded up the pfer of production to the "China +1" region.

Although there are some worrying problems in the countries where the pfer of production occurs, such as labour disputes in Kampuchea and Burma, and the wage increase in Indonesia, the Japanese business community will remain highly concerned about the pfer of production to the "China +1" region in the future.

< p > in recent years, the major companies have been turning to the sewing processing sites outside China in the OEM (OEM) business.

Initially pferred to Vietnam, then Bangladesh, then extended to Indonesia, Kampuchea and Burma.

However, because none of the above countries can completely replace the comprehensive advantages of China's sewing processing, the mainstream practice of the current trade associations is to make rational use of these sewing points, and rationally supply and arrange sewing production in the ASEAN region.

< p > except China, Vietnam is the most important a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > Japanese enterprise < /a > > garment processing point < /a >.

Sumitomo Business Corporation, TEIJIN FRONTIER, Japan Railway and gold products company established many sewing points in Vietnam a long time ago. Today, the business will focus on the expansion of fabrics.

In addition, Chinese mainland enterprises have entered Vietnam after South Korea and Taiwan enterprises in China. Meanwhile, with the continuous improvement of local production level, the optional range of materials has also been expanding.

In 2007, Tamura Ko set up an office in Hu Zhiming, Vietnam, and is now working with 8 fabric manufacturers to strengthen cooperation. The partners not only include enterprises from Korea and Taiwan, China, but also start building business relations with local state enterprises in Vietnam.

In addition to chemical fiber and cotton products, fabric products also include polyurethane blended fabric and polyester rayon fabric. By increasing the variety of products, the production of casual clothing is constantly expanding.

< p > by the collapse of last year's building, the investment intentions of various businesses to Bangladesh have weakened.

However, according to the statistics of clothing trade in 2013, the import of clothing from Bangladesh increased by 16.3% over the previous year.

< p > < a href= > http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp > labor rights < /a > is an important issue facing the textile industry in Kampuchea and Burma.

Kampuchea has the advantage of cutting knitted garments. Bangladesh has the advantage of processing thick garments. Due to their respective advantages in production and processing, the Japanese business community still has great expectations for production in both countries.

< p > Indonesia has gained a lot of popularity due to its obvious advantages in fabric, but the rapid rise in production costs has made enterprises uneasy.

In 2014, the minimum wage in Jakarta increased by 11% over the same period last year, although it has dropped by 44% over the same period in 2013, but the cost of production in the future will continue to rise.

Therefore, enterprises that will pfer production to lower cost areas will increase. For example, MITSUBISHI business corporation will plan to establish 7 sewing factories in Java island in Central Indonesia by the end of 2016.

< p > at present, there are many enterprises in China to allocate materials for production, and how to rapidly build material supply system in the "China +1" area will be the key to the good performance of OEM businesses.
