Why is it so hard to find a Chinese factory

Many traders hope to import from China. According to authoritative data, the us imports nearly 500 billion us dollars worth of Chinese products every year. China is a big manufacturer, but foreigners are always faced with the problem of finding the right Chinese factory.

First of all, Sellersunion online would like to clarify with you why it is difficult for traders to find Chinese manufacturers, mainly for the following four reasons:

Language and cultural barriers

This is one of the more obvious reasons, but it is worth mentioning that there are huge language and cultural barriers between western companies and Chinese manufacturers. Despite the rapid growth of English proficiency in China, there are still many small and medium-sized factories without employees who can speak English fluently. In addition, you must deal with other cultural barriers that are more difficult to define.

Many Chinese factories cannot market themselves well

In the grand scheme of things, China as a global manufacturing power is still a relatively new phenomenon. Many Chinese manufacturers are still in their infancy. The manufacturing services provided by these small and medium-sized Chinese companies are well suited to many American companies, but they do not know how to effectively market themselves to westerners. In fact, there is no comprehensive "database" to search Google for the right Chinese company. When working with a Chinese company, you still need to establish strong local connections.

Your product is unusual, special or customized

Finding the right Chinese manufacturer for all types of products is not difficult. This is for many different reasons. If you are importing products that are often made in China, such as t-shirts, then you will have more manufacturing options to choose from, rather than seeking professional products. It is important to note that many of the biggest manufacturing companies in China are only focused on mass production of ordinary consumer goods such as t-shirts and shoes), which means that the small manufacturing companies can handle more specialized or unique product. Of course, these small companies are inherently hard to find.

You don't know who to trust

Finally, there is a huge trust issue that needs to be managed for those who have no contact in China. In short, it's hard to know which Chinese companies are really reliable and can make quality products for your company. This inherent lack of trust and the difficulties of studying companies create friction in the trade process. This is an area where experienced Chinese purchasing agents can prove to be very valuable.
