HONG KONG, JANUARY 7, 2016
ASIAINSPECTION (AI)
A LEADING GLOBAL QUALITY CONTROL AND COMPLIANCE SERVICE PROVIDER
THAT PARTNERS WITH BRANDS, RETAILERS AND IMPORTERS AROUND THE WORLD
TO SECURE, MANAGE AND OPTIMIZE THEIR SUPPLY CHAIN
today announces its 2016 Q1 Barometer, a quarterly synopsis
on outsourced manufacturing and the quality control services industry.
CHINA STILL IN THE SPOTLIGHT
FOR PRODUCT SAFETY PROBLEMS
China made headlines in 2015 for product safety issues, such as exploding
hoverboards. Together with Hong Kong, it accounted for 60% of all consumer
goods recalls in the EU in Q3 2015.
CHINA’S QUALITY ISSUES CONTINUE TO
RAISE INTERNATIONAL CONCERN
For 2015, AI data shows nearly one in three product inspections
performed in Chinese factories have failed for exceeding the allowed
level of defects.

COUNTRIES SEE QUALITY ISSUES RISE
Q4 2015 CONFIRMS GROWING CONCERNS IN
SUPPLY CHAIN ETHICAL ISSUES
Thailand remains in the spotlight under more accusations of modern slavery.
A recent investigation revealed extensive use of slave labor in the peeling of
shrimp only one step removed from major Thai seafood exporters.
TURKEY NAMED AMONG THE WORST
FOR LABOR RIGHTS AND WORKER SAFETY
The overall safety situation in the country is not improving,
with the death toll reaching 1593 in 11 months of 2015.
GROWING ETHICAL CONCERNS AS FACTORY
AUDIT SCORES SHOWS NO IMPROVEMENT
Cambodia saw its average factory score decrease by more than 2 points
(out of 10) in Q4 2015 vs. 2014, and Pakistan, Indonesia, and Vietnam also
saw compliance drop.
Currently pollution in China accounts for 17% of the nation’s annual death toll,
killing more than 1.5 million people every year. Combined with the heavy
water pollution - 60% of ground water not fit for human contact.

REMAINS VERY GRAVE

GLOBAL TRADE: A NEW START IN 2016?
Experts anticipate a global trade rebound in south-to-south exchanges which
has been reflected in increased inspections by AI in 2015.
VIETNAM PREDICATED TO BE A 2016 WINNER
While already among the US’s top ten trading partners, it is predicted that
when the Trans Pacific Partnership takes effect, Vietnam will see explosive
growth in exports - some reports estimate by +50%.
