Then US Manufacturing Story: What to Expect in 2015

14,207 Comments

2015 is all set to be a landmark year in the history of US manufacturing. The trend of sustainable growth as shown by 2014 is a presage of a potential boom in the sector. A long-awaited positive turn after the recent economic slump of the recession!

As per the discussions and opinions of leading analysts, 2015 will set the course for the engine of manufacturing to traverse. The Boston Consulting Group’s analysis has revealed the fact that the default choice of offshoring – China will no longer be able to hold on to its favored position. The mandate to provide minimum wage increases of 15 to 20 percentage points every year has reduced the cost benefit of manufacturing in China to 55% in 2014 and will further push it down to a dismal 39% in 2015. It is not hard to envision the disappearing allure of opening manufacturing units on foreign soil for every conceivable product irrespective of the demand in these offshore markets.

However, labor is not the only cost associated with manufacturing. Transportation, the cost of raw materials and obviously the cost of electric power all contribute heavily to determining the location of the factory. According to the US Energy Information Administration, crude oil production is all geared to touch a record high of 9.3 million b/d in 2015. Thus, the dwindling advantage of cheap labor can no longer offset the high cost of transportation across the seas. Under such circumstances, the abundance of fuel within the country is bound to sway decisions in favor of re-shoring.

Alternative energy production is also becoming more affordable and reliable. By 2040 15% of the global energy consumption will be attributed to alternatives and the US is right at the forefront of this trend promising inexpensive and readily available electricity to power manufacturing ventures.

The Markit Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) is also optimistic. It is sitting steady at 54.8 at the end of November, and this indicates a rise in the volume of bulk orders and sales to foreign markets.

The US manufacturing sector has always been the main impetus behind the growth of the nation. It drives two-thirds of all R&D efforts, and its workers are twice as productive as others enjoying higher wages and a better lifestyle. (*National Association of Manufacturers)

Considering major indicators – 2015 is shaping up to be the time to celebrate the return to glory of US manufacturing and will herald prosperity if all external factors co-operate.

  9. Thanks a lot for your post. I would like to comment that the price of car insurance varies from one coverage to another, simply because there are so many different issues which give rise to the overall cost. For instance, the model and make of the auto will have a massive bearing on the charge. A reliable aged family auto will have a more economical premium than a flashy racecar.

  10. Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive read something like this before. So good to seek out any individual with some authentic ideas on this subject. realy thanks for beginning this up. this website is something that is needed on the net, someone with a bit of originality. useful job for bringing something new to the web!

  11. I have seen many useful items on your site about desktops. However, I’ve got the judgment that notebook computers are still not quite powerful enough to be a sensible choice if you frequently do jobs that require many power, like video modifying. But for web surfing, word processing, and the majority of other popular computer work they are fine, provided you do not mind the little screen size. Appreciate sharing your ideas.

  12. Please let me know if you’re looking for a article author for your site. You have some really great posts and I think I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d absolutely love to write some articles for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please shoot me an email if interested. Regards!

  456. I think what you wrote made a lot of sense. However, what about this? what if you typed a catchier title? I am not suggesting your content is not solid., however suppose you added a headline to maybe grab folk’s attention? I mean BLOG_TITLE is a little boring. You should glance at Yahoo’s front page and see how they write post headlines to get people interested. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to grab people interested about what you’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it might bring your posts a little bit more interesting.|
