Made in India’ Rises as ‘Made in China’ Declines on US Retail Shelves

November 13, 2023 TheCuriousEconomist Consumer and Business Behaviour, Economic Growth, Economic News, Government Policy, The Global Economy Comments Off on Made in India’ Rises as ‘Made in China’ Declines on US Retail Shelves

The global trade ecosystem is witnessing a seismic shift, with ‘Made in India’ labels becoming increasingly prominent on American shelves, a terrain once dominated by ‘Made in China’ products. This transformation, captured in a comprehensive study by Boston Consulting Group, marks a pivotal moment in international trade dynamics.

From 2018 to 2022, U.S. imports from China have seen a notable decline of 10%, a stark contrast to the 44% surge in imports from India. This shift is not just a story of numbers; it’s a narrative of global events reshaping economic alliances. Trade wars, the far-reaching impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, unpredictable natural disasters, and complex geopolitical maneuvers, including Brexit and the war in Ukraine, have collectively catalyzed this change.

This realignment extends beyond India and China. Mexico and the ASEAN region, encompassing 10 dynamic economies, have also experienced significant growth in their export figures to the U.S., with increases of 18% and 65%, respectively. This trend underscores a broader pattern of diversification in U.S. sourcing strategies, a strategic move away from over-reliance on a single country.

THINK LIKE AN ECONOMIST!
