As one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization, the Zhujiang River Basin was planned as the vanguard spearheading the reform and opening-up policy due to its profound culture heritage and great foundation of industry. Because of cost advantages in labor and land, the Zhujiang River Delta has become the “World’s Factory”.
Around 2000, with the development of the economy, this region gradually lost its labor cost advantage and faced the shortage of usable land. For this reason, most labor-intensive industries began to move to the surrounding remote mountainous areas or Southeast Asia, and its original equipment manufacturing (OEM) market gradually declined in the next few years.
Nowadays, the Zhujiang River Delta has been included into the development blueprint of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, and is embarking on the road of establishing a modern industrial system based on manufacturing. In such context, it’s necessary for local OEM manufacturers to upgrade and build themselves into OEM brands.
