Price monitoring for the purchase or production in China

The average market price monitoring is needful if you want to know the latest data about the purchase or production costs in China.

Why is it cheaper to manufacture products in China?

China sells more manufacturing consumer goods than any other country in the world and still is the world's biggest manufacturer and industrial producer.

This country has an export tax refund policy as a way to improve the competitiveness of its exports by canceling double taxation on exported goods. Exported goods were subject to zero percent value-added tax (VAT), meaning they were free from VAT or received discounts.

In plus, consumer goods from China were released from any import taxes. These lower tax rates helped keep production costs low, allowing the country to attract investors and companies seeking to produce low-priced goods.

China has the world's lowest labor costs for its production workers. But at the same time, the country has grown an economic structure that can lift more people out of poverty than anywhere else. China's low cost of living makes low wages manageable for the average worker in the manufacturing industry, and its factories are prospering, manufacturing consumer goods for the whole world.

Compared to other countries, China has an incredibly well-developed infrastructure, so raw materials can be delivered to the manufacturing sector in the shortest terms and at the lowest price. Chinese plastics manufacturers, production factories are still on top when it comes to shipping material or finished goods.

Why it's difficult to do Price Monitoring of goods in China by yourself?

    You can of course monitor the purchase prices of Chinese suppliers by yourself. There are no strict rules in this field. But several important aspects can distort the result :

  1. Objective assessment of the average market price includes a large amount of information. Not everyone can manage such huge data collection and processing volume without experience. At M3Cargo we analyze not only well-known international online platforms, online shops, but also trade shows, websites of manufacturing companies and use our own supplier’s network in China. It is needed to have a certain level of competence to differentiate the marketing efforts from a really profitable offer.
  2. The selection may include companies that provide unreliable prices. Some do not update their prices in time, set an incorrect price, or do not exist at all. Having made a mistake at this stage there is a risk of getting caught by fraudsters and distorting the monitoring results. Often fake companies put up too low a price on purpose to win the buyer. They're doing it pretty well. Such companies sell non-existent services and goods in the hope you’ll sign the contract and pay up. Our experience at this market allows us to cut off such offers and not take them into account for monitoring. We will help you to arrange a profitable deal and make the purchase at low costs. Finding a supplier is very necessary and the most important part of purchasing the goods.
