China, the country where you can have almost any product produced. Yet many people still do not know where to start when outsourcing their production to China. With this blog we try to make you more familiar with custom production in China by means of a bit of history and how JDLsourcing can help with this.
The production regions in China have traditionally been divided based on product specializations. For custom production in China, it is useful to know in which region you can best be to have your product produced. Before 1949, the industry in China was mainly concentrated in the large cities on the east coast and the northeast. Shanghai was the largest industrial center followed by a number of other cities such as Anshan and Fushun from the same province.
In the 1950s, the industrial centers in the east and northeast of China accounted for about one-third of China’s total industrial production. However, this changed after 1983, when industrial centers in the north, south and southwest expanded rapidly and increased their share of total production to more than 40 percent. This is already a very large increase in production in China in a short time. In addition, it previously consisted mainly of heavy industry, but after the economic reform program in China, there was an explosive increase in the production of consumer goods such as televisions, washing machines and bicycles.
Due to these developments, different provinces in China have started to specialize in the production of different types of products. Some cities have become known for their specialization in certain products. In general, all the different industrial clusters are mainly found in the east, because the west is mainly focused on the agricultural sector.
Most of the production opportunities for consumer goods are located on the east coast of China. Here, a wide range of different types of production sectors can be found. Provinces such as Guangdong, Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang offer many different options for producing in China. For example, the city of Zhenjiang in Jiangsu province specializes in making glasses, the city of Huizhou in Guangdong province specializes in shoe production and the city of Shenzhen in Guangdong province specializes in electronics. The production on the east coast therefore offers a great many different possibilities when it comes to having consumer goods produced in China. That is why it is important to do good research in advance about the different cities and their production specialties.
Without a local team or the necessary experience, it can be very difficult to find the right party. It also involves a lot of time and costs, which often comes at the expense of other business processes. When you have your products produced in China, it can happen that, for example, the quality, the quantity or the product does not match your expectations.
