Overview
Southeast Asia gains increasingly more attention as foreign companies try to diversify manufacturing activities from China. By 2030, the manufacturing industry in Southeast Asia could generate up to $600 billion USD a year, according to the global consulting firm Boston Consulting Group (BCG). For decades, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has attracted foreign manufacturers seeking low-wage workers.
