π Friend-shoring: A Strategic Shift in Global Supply Chains
#GS3 | Economy | 10 Marks Mains Perspective)
π Introduction
β Friend-shoring is a modern supply chain strategy where companies relocate manufacturing and sourcing operations to geopolitically trusted partners sharing similar values, governance systems, and stable economies.
β It aims to counter risks from trade tensions, political instability, and supply chain shocks.
π Benefits of Friend-shoring
1οΈβ£ Strengthening Supply Chain Resilience
β Risk Mitigation: Reduces dependence on unstable economies.
πΉ E.g. During US-China tensions, firms like Apple shifted manufacturing to India and Vietnam.
β Diversification: Expanding operations across friendly nations prevents localized disruptions.
πΉ E.g. Toyota and Volkswagen diversified component sourcing globally.
2οΈβ£ Enhancing Economic & Operational Efficiency
β Favourable Trade Policies: Allied partners offer tariff cuts and simpler trade norms.
πΉ E.g. Trade agreements like RCEP and CEPA facilitate smoother flow.
β Stable Environments: Predictable regulations ensure continuity and long-term planning.
πΉ E.g. Pfizer expanded operations in Germany and Switzerland.
3οΈβ£ Promoting Ethical & Regulatory Compliance
β Ethical Sourcing: Partnering with nations upholding high labour and environmental standards.
πΉ E.g. Brands like Patagonia and Eileen Fisher manufacture in ethical markets.
β Regulatory Alignment: Common legal frameworks lower compliance costs.
πΉ E.g. Microsoft & IBM operate in countries with data protection laws similar to their home systems.
π Limitations of Friend-shoring
1οΈβ£ Cost Implications:
Higher labour and production costs than traditional offshoring.
πΉ E.g. Textile firms moving from Bangladesh to the EU.
2οΈβ£ Infrastructure Challenges:
Requires time and capital investment for new facilities.
πΉ E.g. Intel & TSMC face setup delays in new semiconductor plants.
3οΈβ£ Geopolitical Uncertainty:
Alliances and trade pacts can shift with changing global politics.
πΉ E.g. Policy transitions like Brexit altering trade flows.
π Conclusion
β Indiaβs growing participation in friend-shoring represents a strategic opportunity β advancing both economic self-reliance (Atmanirbhar Bharat) and trusted global integration.
β By leveraging its manufacturing base, skilled workforce, and geopolitical credibility, India can emerge as a key hub in resilient, de-risked global value chains.
