Many years ago,China sourcing was known as low cost sourcing bases.Now China sourcing strategy has changed from low cost to innovation.

China Sourcing for low costs:

The first reason why Western companies being lured by the Chinese markets was low cost finished goods as well as components. The benefits were there for both their own markets as well as the Chinese markets. Many companies from around the Globe established their sourcing offices in China in order to implement their low cost strategies.

The major reason that caused this change in trend was that rapidly developing economies like China demonstrated the world that they are capable of producing world class products and components at a price that is way low as compared to the market prices of the already developed economies. The only hurdle that companies coming in had to face was a shortage of qualified suppliers and also that of global sourcing people.

-China Sourcing for innovation:

The first reason was always the low costs of China manufacturers contributing to Chinese markets. And this was also the initial driving force for most companies. But, as China Sourcing matured, so did the China suppliers. Gradually, innovative designs were developed in China in almost all kinds of industries, be it consumer electronics goods, IT firms, automotive tools and various others.

Innovations with the customers in component and product design are a success these days. Currently, many of the Chinese suppliers are designing new innovative products for the international markets as part of integrated supply chain.
