The transition towards a more cost-effective Southeast Asia
There are several reasons and interactions that explain why businesses are increasingly shifting some of their operational activities to Southeast Asia. One of the primary motivations for this transition is cost efficiency. In certain regions of Asia, the costs associated with manufacturing—such as labor and production expenses—have been steadily increasing over the last ten years. It is possible to manufacture products more efficiently in countries like Vietnam or Thailand, while Cambodia and Laos are emerging as potential alternative sites.
Sustainable production
The choice of country also varies depending on the industry, which includes manufacturers of electronic devices and components, garment and textile companies, as well as producers of renewable energy-related components like solar modules. With Vietnam emerging as a viable manufacturing hub, the ASEAN region possesses the necessary infrastructure to attract companies from around the globe to relocate parts of their production to Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
