Global industrial production is concentrated in highly-engineered countries that are the largest owners of international brands and the largest consumers of goods on one hand and on the other hand in emerging economies where the main attractiveness is related to the low production costs. Low production costs are the result of several factors with separate or simultaneous action, namely labor cost, proximity of basic raw material, low electricity and water price, permissive waste management and recycling legislation, cheap infrastructure or tax incentives that stimulate and protect foreign investments.
Emerging countries are responsible today for 40% of GDP, which in absolute figures means 40,000 billion USD per year, of which at least 25% represents lohn industrial production for major international brands, especially in fashion, appliance, electronics, ship and boat building or metal industry.
The industries that most exploit the low production costs in emerging countries are manufacturing industries or industries that develop near inexpensive natural resources.
