China's manufacturing sector is increasingly defining the global benchmark for industrial speed, scale and technology adoption, and is reshaping how advanced factories are built globally, Joerg Gnamm, head of global manufacturing at Bain & Company, said.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with China Daily at the sidelines of the Summer Davos, Gnamm said China's industrial advantages are not limited to cost, but extend to system-level capabilities.
"What stands out in China is the combination of scale, speed and the ability to integrate across the full value chain," he said. "That is what enables what we call impact at scale."
Gnamm said China's manufacturing ecosystem remains structurally distinct due to its complete domestic supply chains and rapid innovation cycles.
"China has almost the entire value chain within one country at massive scale," he said. "That creates a very different environment for deploying advanced manufacturing."
