China Cost Optimization 2026 - Balancing competitiveness in a shifting landscape The rules of competition in China have changed. Most foreign companies have not. For two decades, international companies operated in China under one assumption: Chinese manufacturers compete on price, and foreign brands compete on quality. That assumption is no longer valid. Chinese companies have graduated in technology, engineering depth, supply chain integration, and speed-to-market. The cost gap that once protected foreign margins is narrowing fast. In some sectors, it has already reversed.Download the Market InsightThe Chinese car market added 10 million units between 2020 and 2025, growing from 20 ...

India’s EV Growth Story Is Real. Its Constraints Are Structural. India is among the fastest growing electric vehicle markets globally, driven by policy momentum, OEM participation, and rising demand for sustainable mobility.

However, growth is uneven. High utilisation segments are scaling faster than supporting infrastructure. Charging networks remain insufficient, and long charging cycles continue to limit vehicle uptime. At the same time, the domestic battery ecosystem is still evolving, with dependence ...

eacconsulting — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 10:35:05 +0000

India’s Manufacturing Moment: Why Assembly Is Not a Weak Start There has been a lot of debate lately on whether India’s recent manufacturing inflows are “real” or simply limited to assembly. The assumption is that unless a country builds deep manufacturing capability, it cannot truly move up the value chain. But that view misses an important truth about how industrial ecosystems actually evolve.Even if India’s current wave of investment is assembly-led, it sets in motion something much larger. When global companies begin to assemble products locally, they inevitably bring suppliers, logistics partners, testing facilities, and component makers along with them. ...
