Such low-cost, low added value and labor-intensive products have never entered the "magic eye" of the US manufacturing industry, which always regards high income, high technology and high added value as the criterion. Recently, however, the US Department of commerce is trying to convince business owners that these goods can also be produced in the United States and make profits. < /p >

For more than a year, the United States has stressed the importance of revitalizing the high-end manufacturing industries that are traditional strengths, as much as possible to consolidate the manufacturing industry in the middle end while not giving up the production of consumer goods, such as textiles and toys, which are at the low end of the value chain. P With the change of business environment at home and abroad, the number of manufacturing enterprises returning to the US mainland is increasing. < /p >
A report released last week by the White House National Economic Committee said that manufacturing output in the US has increased by 30% since the end of the financial crisis. P Meanwhile, manufacturing has created 646 thousand jobs since 2010, the fastest growth since 1990. < /p >

Penny Pritzker, the US Commerce Secretary, said at the forum that more and more enterprises choose to reflux.

< p > reducing production costs has been an important driving force for many American companies to outsource manufacturing, but Jeff Fetting, chairman of Whirlpool group, an American household appliance manufacturer, said the US still outperforms other countries in terms of labor productivity and resilience to market demand. Meanwhile, the company's survey found that American consumers were more inclined to buy products produced in the United States, which strengthened the plan of reflux production line. < /p >
"P > international retail giant WAL-MART announced last year that it will purchase $250 billion worth of" a US made /a "products in the next ten years. Michel Glockler, senior vice president of WAL-MART in the United States, said at the forum that American products have strong competitiveness in many fields.
