Abstract
Relocation of manufacturing capacity to low-cost regions such as the Middle
East and North Africa and an available large base of skilled labor coupled
with favorable manufacturing environments in these regions are driving
domestic manufacturers to expand capacities, taking advantage of these
opportunities. Further, rising demand in segments such as electronics
manufacturing, construction and industrial equipment manufacturing coupled
with surging export revenues are driving manufacturers to increase capacities
to cater to these demands.
Further, subsidies and tax incentives offered by the Middle East and North
Africa governments to attract foreign direct investment, the presence of
global production networks and state-of-the-art research facilities are
promoting collaborations and partnerships between manufacturers in domestic
markets and overseas markets such those of North America and Europe.
