Exploring the China +1 Strategy: A Strategic Move for SMEs in Asia As global market dynamics evolve, the strategic need for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to diversify their operations is nothing new but has never been more crucial at this point in time as well. The China +1 Strategy is gaining momentum, urging businesses to explore alternative locations in Asia, such as ASEAN countries and India, alongside their existing operations in China. This approach not only mitigates risks but also capitalizes on the growing opportunities within these emerging markets. Why ASEAN and India? 1. Strategic Diversification: The China +1 Strategy allows SMEs to reduce dependency on a single market, thereby spreading risk and ensuring business continuity amidst geopolitical uncertainties. 2. Access to Emerging Markets: ASEAN countries and India are among the fastest-growing economies in the world. With increasing consumer bases and expanding middle classes, these regions offer vast potential for market expansion. 3.
