FAQs About This Manufacturing Alternatives Guide

Does this guide tell me exactly which country I should move to?

Not quite. It gives you a structured comparison, cost ranges, typical timelines, quality and risk considerations for six of the strongest alternatives to manufacturing in China. You’ll still want to layer in your own product specifics, but it will dramatically narrow the field and help you ask better questions with your team.

How detailed is the data?

The download includes country “scorecards” with typical labor/material cost levels, expected MOQs, lead-time ranges, and product specialty lists, plus a direct comparison table between all six countries and China. The landing page only shares the high-level themes; the specific numbers and ratings live inside the PDF.

Is this only relevant if I’m ready to move everything out of China?

No. Much of the guide is written for brands that still plan to use China for certain products but want a backup or secondary region for others, a classic China-plus-one strategy. Even if you decide to stay in China for now, you’ll have a clearer sense of your options if conditions change.
