Southwest China and its Potential for Swiss Industries

  • Abstract This study investigates the potential for Swiss industries in Southwest China and how this potential reflects the strengths of Swiss industries. It also provides recommendations for how this potential can be better realised. The study is based on a quantitative analysis of secondary sources as well as on a qualitative analysis of expert interviews. The findings of the analysis indicate that the main potential for Swiss industries is related to the growing demand for consumer goods. Therefore, producers directly or indirectly involved in producing consumer goods and services have the highest potential. With regard to the existing industry clusters in Southwest China, the following key Swiss industries were found to have the highest potential: Pharma/Chemistry, Luxury goods, Mechanical engineering, Electrical engineering /Electronics and Food. It was also found that in order to fully exploit the potential of Swiss industries, more FDI is needed. This in turn could be achieved through Swiss business support institutions in Southwest China. It was concluded that a combined Swiss consulate and Swiss Business Hub would be the ideal institution to achieve this. As this study only assesses the general economic trends in Southwest China, further research on trends at the industry or firm level is recommended.
