Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry Overview - The discussion revolves around the trends of reshoring and friendshoring in the context of global supply chains, particularly focusing on the impact of tariffs and geopolitical factors on manufacturing decisions [1][11][12]. Core Insights and Arguments - **Reshoring Trends**: Reshoring has created 2 million jobs in the US over the last 15 years, with a peak of 350,000 jobs in 2022. However, this trend has slowed down since then, particularly in capital-intensive sectors like electronics and transportation, which accounted for 70% of job creation [2][26]. - **Future Expectations**: Only 20% of analysts expect significant reshoring, while 40% anticipate mild relocation to the US, particularly in capital-intensive sectors. Sectors expected to see reshoring include metals & mining and biotechnology [3][39]. - **Labor Concerns**: The availability of qualified labor is a significant concern for reshoring, especially in labor-intensive sectors. More than 50% of analysts indicate that the lack of qualified labor at competitive costs is a barrier [4][50][68]. - **Near/Friendshoring**: There is a growing trend towards near/friendshoring, with analysts identifying Vietnam, Mexico, India, and Thailand as key beneficiaries. This shift is driven by geopolitical risk management rather than cost efficiency [5][46][49]. - **Sector-Specific Impacts**: Tariffs are expected to have sector-specific impacts, with price increases anticipated in industrials and manufacturing, while margin compression is more likely in consumer goods and services [6][82]. Additional Important Insights - **Geopolitical Factors**: The shift from globalization to geo-fragmentation reflects a change in how companies allocate capital, prioritizing safety over cost [13][24]. - **Tariff Implications**: The imposition of tariffs is seen as a tool for strategic decoupling from China, with varying impacts across sectors. For instance, the auto sector has been more affected than pharmaceuticals [23][35]. - **Investment Strategies**: Analysts suggest that while tariffs may drive some reshoring, the overall economic feasibility remains questionable, particularly given the high costs associated with US labor and the potential for tariff reversibility [100][138]. - **Automation Trends**: The expectation is that any reshoring will likely involve increased automation, as labor costs in the US are significantly higher than in developing countries [118][119]. Conclusion - The reshoring and friendshoring trends are complex and influenced by a multitude of factors, including tariffs, labor availability, and geopolitical considerations. While there is some optimism for modest reshoring, significant barriers remain, particularly in labor-intensive sectors. The focus is shifting towards strategic relocation to emerging markets as companies navigate the evolving landscape of global trade [46][49][50].

在越企业迎来春天？ 越南在巨大的内外压力下启动了变革。 4月2日，越南也一起挨了关税大棒，特朗普宣布对越南加征关税至46%。4月4日，越南当即表示愿意对 美"0关税"进行谈判。 越南经济增长高度依赖出口和外资，出口占GDP的85%以上——去年，越南对美国贸易顺差超1230亿美 元。而每年引进的外资也是制造业产能扩张的最大动力。尽管快速与美国协商，但关税与贸易波动已经 对越南制造业乃至整体经济产生了明显的负面影响。 越南跨境的至暗时刻 在关税阴影下，越南制造业4月份的产出、订单、就业和采购已经出现大幅下降，越南制造业采购经理 人指数 (PMI）从50.5大幅下滑至45.6，制造业健康度明显下滑，而由于担心关税对未来产出的进一步影 响，企业信心跌至44个月来的最低点。而且下降速度近两年来最快。商业信心也跌至2021年8月以来的 最低水平。 而越南刚刚在今年2月份制定了8%的GDP增长目标，但在关税影响下，越南第一季度的经济增速已从去 年第四季度的7.55%放缓至6.93%。不过，越南政府重申，尽管面临诸多挑战，但今年的经济增长目标 保持不变。 除了关税压力，越南经济本身也存在问题。 越南目前的经济规模与体量不足， ...
