Navigating Growth: Dezan Shira & Associates Releases the Emerging Asia Manufacturing Index 2024, Empowering Businesses in Supply Chain Optimization

Dezan Shira & Associates is thrilled to announce the release of the inaugural edition of The Emerging Asia Manufacturing Index (EAMI) 2024. This groundbreaking report offers indispensable insights into navigating the intricate industrial landscape of Asia.

Asia remains a dominant force in global manufacturing, with countries such as China, Vietnam, India, and Indonesia propelling significant growth and innovation. As businesses endeavor to leverage the region’s abundant opportunities, comprehending the nuances of each market is paramount.

The EAMI 2024 delivers comprehensive analysis and strategic counsel for businesses aiming to establish or expand their footprint in Asia. From dissecting regulatory frameworks to uncovering investment incentives, the report addresses a diverse array of topics whose understanding is crucial for success in the region.

Funded independently and devoid of any political or external investor influence, Dezan Shira & Associates adopts an objective, business approach to indexing: Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Each market’s ranking accounts for real business realities, rather than relying solely on government-provided information.

Full access to the report is entirely free of charge, and we encourage you to share and reference its contents. It is designed to assist businesses in navigating the intricate environment, particularly aiding in the identification of ideal locations for manufacturers seeking to diversify their supply chains across the region.

The firm intends to publish this report annually, with the EAMI 2025 slated for release toward the end of 2024.

  • Market Trends and Outlook: Obtain insights into the latest trends shaping the manufacturing sector in East Asia, including industry growth projections and emerging opportunities.
