Default Why Products Made In China affordable?

It has been a long discussed topic among people from all over the world that products MADE IN CHINA(China Wholesale, wholesale products from China - Ebsilk.com) can be found in everyone’s daily life, and some even became indispensible part of their life. Constantly you could not helping asking why products made in China are so popular, why why they are so “cheap”? Different people will come up with different views due to different understandings. I do heard many people guess that Chinese products are not good in quality, as they believe you can not buy a good product at a lower price. Yes it’s true in some parts of the world.However you will find it reasonable if you really know something about products made in China.

As we all know China is a developing country with a large population. Most factories are labor-and resource-intensive industries, compared to many other countries the costs of labor force saved a lot. And due to China also a country aboundant in natural resources, almost all the materials needed in production can be supplied home. Most importantly, constant innovation of technology has brought to China tremendous changes. Many hi-tech products are now developed and applied in China, the productivity improved a lot. All these account for the good Chinese products with low price. You may also find many world famous companies have moved their factories to China in order to cut off their expenses, in fact, what they sell to you also MADE IN CHINA.

It’s normal that people regard products good or not according to their judgements to the price. However if you make a comparison between the same products with the same quality produced in your country and China, you will find the reall reason why products made in China are so popular. I don’t believe it is cultrue difference that make people in the foreign countries willing to buy expensive products, everyone knows it’s unsensible.In fact, not all products made in China are very cheap, ,if you would like to make comparison, you will find they are just affordable. Most Chinese still wait for the price of the products go down to enjoy the favor, however I don’t think they are stupid.

It seems contradictory but everyone’s wish to buy something good in quality while lower in price, however if you are careful enough you will find many wholesale Chinese products have already make your wish come true. There are many online shopping malls supply good Chinese products, they enjoy popularity in almost every part of the world,like Ebsilk(China Wholesale, wholesale products from China - Ebsilk.com). You will find all the products are well designed and fasionable, especially their prices are very favorable. If you are going to save money or do business you will find they are proofs of Chinese products affordable to everyone.

Since we have clear about the reason why Chinese products are so widely enjoyed, you don’t need to hesitate to buy low-priced products MADE IN CHINA. Lilke most people in the world to enjoy the benefits, I believe more contacts will enhance your passion for Chinese products and better understanding of China.

Hi Duck

So who do you see as your biggest market? Where do you get most of your customers from, is it the US, Europe?

Do you see competition from other Asian countries like Vietnam and Cambodia?I believe these are becoming quite popular for Western manafacturing businesses, who are setting up factories.

Whats the feeling in China of environmental issues? As production scales up for all these goods, is there any awareness yet of enviromental issues? Could this be a good marketing ploy to exploit maybe, greener products?

Be great to hear your views.

I spent a long time in SE Asia, and actually came home more patriotic than when I left, there is a pride and passion over there that rivals our own, but the argument of economy over product is a major one.

Every dollar sent to a foreign country affects your own countries economy, so although some great products are coming out of China and other fast developing countries, try to buy your own home produced wares.

Countries that rely heavily on foreign products were most affected by the economic crash, not the countries that supply/export.

You do not need to read between the lines to see the pattern!

Be great to hear your views.


yep,our biggest market is mostly from US,Europe.and some south-east Asia countries.

Absolutely we have a lot of competitors,because our company is new-established.Most of aspects is not so perfect.and we are still trying hard to be better.

Your suggestion of exploit greener products is so good,but as I know,China is lack of this marketing field.Not only is there no leading company,but also the technology is not enough.

It is the distance from other developed country,although our goverment have paid more attention and funds to the field.

Btw,you are wrong.It is me who should say "be great to hear your views"more than you said it

Hmm, sounds you like have some potential to corner a market!! Green/environmental is big news and therefore big business in the States and Europe.

Maybe you could start with the sustainable product approach, ie for x products sold, y number of trees are planted. Or make yourself known as environmental innovator. Doesn't have to be particuarly high tech. Be great PR, and bound to get picked up by the western press, and before you know it, the orders are rolling in!!

Hmmm, might have to move to China!!

Made in China is cheap, but in fact some Chinese can not afford the products.

Default In my opinion

I think things are cheaper in china because they produce their own raw material, produces their own machinery and provides own products. Like other countries import raw materials and uses in making a finish good. So China produces its own raw material. web link are all independent or dependent on themselves.

Jennet

Default Chinese products have taken over the world...

Its interesting when you think about Chinese products. They get a lot of flak for poor quality, but end of the day its supply and demand. If theres no demand...

But on my recent travels, I was looking for a cuddly toy Moose for my daughter while in Canada. Ideally, one made in Canada, but after hunting numerous gift and toy shops, I couldn't find a single Canadian made cuddly Moose, only one that said it was "designed" in canada but made in China. Every single one we saw was made in China.

Problem was, the majority were very cheap and very poor quality, obviously aimed at tourists like me, but I thought it was a little sad.

Instead, we went to Coventry Toys R Us yesterday, and bought one from there Still made in China, but much better quality, as I assume Toys R Us have to meet certain standards.

Its a funny old world.....
