o China and Mexico were the top two countries for
offshore production sourcing by US firms, followed
by Canada and India.
o The primary reasons for offshoring were to reduce
labour costs, access to lower-cost raw materials, and
access to a larger customer base.
o The primary reasons for reshoring were to improve
product quality, reduce lead times, and reduce
transportation costs.
o The decision to offshore or Reshore was influenced
by various factors such as government policies,
exchange rates, and the availability of skilled labour
in the target country.
