Why BEST Cost Country Sourcing

The primary driver of the move to Best Cost Country sourcing is large and sustainable cost advantage. According to an analysis, minimum of 20% and as high as 40% savings on the landed costs can be achieved. The cost advantage comes from lower labor cost, lower capital-investments, lower domestic sourcing cost, larger economies of scales and government initiatives.

There are multiple case studies of leading MNCs in BCC markets having consistently lowered their purchase costs over time. These are achieved from.

• Expanded scale.
• Deepening relationships with suppliers.
• Competitive environment.
• The growth in wages, especially in China and India will be limited because of enormous reservoir of unemployed people. China has 800 Mn people living in the country side and India adds millions to the large pool of English speaking population every year.
• The current labor rate gap between high cost & best cost countries is expected to remain substantial for the foreseeable future.
