In the United States, "Plastics News" Executive Forum speech in the industry have suggested that the U.S. plastics industry should be China, India and Vietnam as their home markets in rapidly developing countries, rather than outsource the production of low-cost countries.

But to do this, we must change thinking. Speakers that, it is expected, is struggling to stand up from the Great Depression in the U.S. economy's annual growth in the coming years will be only about 2-3%, so the more cheap goods imported U.S. does not make sense.

LarryHotaling bluntly to the United States as "a stagnant market." He said, such as "outsourcing" has become a kind of statement history; we should advance with the times.

As a Hong Kong consulting firm GlobalDiligenceLtd. Hotaling general manager, said: "You can only do some limited services to a market, cut costs limited range."

Akron, Ohio in the United States consulting firm RobertEllerAssociatesLLC company's Asia Pacific vice president, said Roger Young, fast-growing Asian countries are the formation of mobile phones, computers, air conditioning and automotive purchasing power of the middle class. He said the Asian country's urban centers are "set off a buying binge," including China, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.

Young said the Chinese government is through the purchase of computers and other consumer products to provide subsidies the way, trying to boost domestic consumption growth, promote economic prosperity.

March 7-10 at the Tampa, Florida, USA held on this forum, the topic of emerging markets in a number of the symposium has become the focus of attention.

Hotaling said that many U.S. business executives still regard China and India to help them cut costs as an important country. He said: "I found the discussion around the next 2 years, is undergoing significant change, from a single cost-oriented strategy towards more focus on the future direction of evolution."

ParmeshBhaskaran agrees. As a consulting company AlixPartnersLLP companies with turnover in the Chicago office of Bhaskaran said: "For the United States, small and medium enterprises, when we talk about 'outsourcing' the word, which basically means to obtain from an emerging market, the lowest possible price of the product in my view, American companies need to change if the ideas and ask yourself: How do we develop new markets, to grow in the local business? "

Young, for example, the Chinese government is try to turn the industry into the value chain, began to focus from the traditional toys, footwear and textile production and bio-polymer composite steering and other new fields. With rising labor costs, China's molding industry will choose to purchase a two-step injection molding machine, rather than on the previously molded in one presses a part, and then into the second machine reprocessing, these changes will promote technology adoption.
