However,Vietnam became the most popular emerging hub for backpackmanufacturing because of product sourcing and lower labor cost.In the past few years, many big brands have transferred someproduction capacity from China to Vietnam as the “China 1”strategy. The entire supply chain needs to be redesigned andadjusted during the transition.
