BCG Makes Compelling Case For Rebound in U.S. Manufacturing
The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) , a global leader in business
strategy and transformation, has published a pair of studies since
August 2011 forecasting a cost-driven resurgence in U.S.
manufacturing.
In the first, Made in America, Again, the authors conclude that
China's once-overwhelming cost advantage is shrinking fast. Rising
Chinese wages, combined with higher U.S. productivity and other
factors, will combine to make the U.S. a more attractive
manufacturing option.

authors highlight seven industries — including several that are
excellent fits for RACER properties — that are nearing the point at which shifting
manufacturing back to the U.S. is the right decision economically.
