dii. About DII. DII. is a Danish non-profit organisation founded with the purpose of promoting Industry. in Denmark and facilitating the adoption of Industry. in Danish manufacturing. DII. is the only organisation that deals exclusively with Industry. in Denmark. Our first and foremost responsibility is to serve as a professional body representing and safeguarding the interest of Danish corporations with respect to Industry. and other closely related areas. We bring industry professionals and companies across industries and academics together to promote Industry. and facilitate the adoption of Industry. in a joint effort. By bringing industry professionals and companies across industries and academics together we unite resources and simultaneously foster cross-company and cross-industry collaboration. In order to foster and allow for seamless and smooth collaboration, we recognise interests of conflict and competitive misalignment, thus Danish subsidiaries of foreign multinational corporations are not eligible to participate in our exclusive network if any of their activities conflict with a Danish member's interest.

Preface This report and Industry. Readiness Index are a part of DII.'s annual global analysis. This report, and the readiness index, serve to inform governments, companies, academics, institutions and others who might be interested. If economies and governments wish to sustain their current respective manufacturing position, or even improve it, they need give serious consideration to Industry.. Government as well as institutions and other stakeholders concerned with manufacturing or technology should use this report to identify their country's strengths and weaknesses in terms of Industry. readiness, and subsequently assist in building their country's areas of weakness as well as further developing their areas of strength. Manufacturers should use this report on a strategic level. During recent decades outsourcing and offshoring, primarily to countries endowed with factors such as lowcost labour, has grown substantially. Industry. is now changing the manufacturing landscape globally. Therefore, manufacturers need to seriously consider that technology is developing at exponential and unprecedented speed, and whether they have their operations positioned in countries that can accommodate Industry. in due time. Manufacturers' locations of their value chain operations should be geared for the future, and not for the present moment. Lastly, we hope that this report may help academics in their research or studies. Global Industry. Readiness Report 1-17

Executive Summary Global Readiness Landscape North America, Western Europe, Scandinavia, a few small Asian countries and Qatar currently exhibit the strongest positions in terms of Industry. readiness. On the other hand, Africa, South America, the Middle East, Western Asia as well as the South-eastern part of Europe are the laggards and by no means ready to accommodate the future waves of technology and digitization in industrial manufacturing. Nevertheless, even those countries which are best positioned for embracing Industry. are currently not ready to fully adopt Industry. and exploit all the opportunities that it offers. Future Outlook - EU From to 15 manufacturing has gone from accounting for 1.7% to 1.5% of the total economy of the EU. However, Industry. offers new opportunities and new dynamics. As the EU is well-positioned for Industry. on a global basis; an average score of.1-3% above the global average of 3 - the EU has the potential to turn the negative trend of the last couple of decades around, and return manufacturing to its past glory. Especially, the northern part of the EU - Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Netherlands, United Kingdom & Sweden - exhibit a high readiness level of 5. - % above the global average. Reshoring Low-cost labour countries have been the main targets for outsourcing and offshoring in the past decades. However, Industry. is expected to change the global manufacturing landscape, as production becomes more capital intensive and the advantage of low-cost labour countries therefore erodes. Moreover, Industry. allows manufacturers to increase their competitiveness both with respect to price and other factors such as quality, delivery time, flexibility and customization. It is clear that labour cost levels highly, although not perfectly, correlate with Industry. readiness, thus reshoring from countries with low Industry. readiness levels, the countries with lowcost labour as well, to countries with high Industry. readiness levels will be feasible in the coming decades. Readiness & Economic Development It is no surprise that Industry. readiness highly correlates with economic development, therefore many of the advanced economies are naturally ahead, and more ready for Industry.. However, the advanced, and more ready, countries should actively foster and strengthen their readiness in their respective countries in order to stay ahead of the less advanced, and less ready, countries. It is particularly important that the advanced countries work to strengthen their position further, as a majority part of the less ready countries exhibit high growth rates. The high growth rates of these countries combined with high correlation between Industry. readiness and economic development constitute the risk that these, currently, less advanced countries develop and become ready for Industry.. 3 Global Industry.

adjustment To provide a more accurate view of reality, the original scores have been adjusted based on simple exponential regression. This means that the adjusted scores become progressively higher, the higher original score. It also means that the low original scores are relatively more discounted than higher original scores. The rationale behind this is that Industry. requires certain levels on a number of areas, most notably with respect to the workforce and technology, thus lower scores are not just proportionally worse, but relatively more worse than their higher counterparts are. E.g. a country that has a workforce that is half as sophisticated in terms of education than another country as well as half as sophisticated in terms of technology capabilities is not just half as ready for Industry., it is a lot less ready.

Rankings Overall According to our analysis, North America, Western Europe, Scandinavia, a few Asian countries - Hong Kong, Japan, Republic of Korea (South Korea), Malaysia, Taiwan and Singapore - and Qatar in the Middle East are currently the countries which exhibit the best outlook in terms of adopting Industry. and its related features. On the other hand, areas such as Africa, South America, the Middle East, Western Asia as well as the South-eastern part of Europe exhibit the worst outlook with scores of such low levels that they are by no means ready to embrace Industry.. While a few areas - North America, Western Europe, Scandinavia, a few small Asian countries and Qatar - exhibit fairly high levels of Industry. readiness, even those areas only have scores of between 5 to 7, thus even the most well-positioned areas do not currently have sufficiently high levels of readiness to fully adopt and exploit Industry. and all its related technologies.

Readiness As depicted on the previous side, the EU landscape is dominated by decline. out of the 7 EU countries have seen their manufacturing sectors, relative to their total economy, shrink in the period from to 15. Only Ireland and a few countries in Eastern Europe - Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Romania and Lithuania - experienced an increase in their manufacturing sector relative to their total economy. However, most of the countries' manufacturing sectors have not shrank nominally speaking, only relative to their total economy. Nevertheless, it is clear that manufacturing is playing an increasingly smaller role in the EU economy.

However, they have high levels of Industry. readiness. Therefore, they have the opportunity to grow their manufacturing sectors, and thus boost their overall economic growth. Manufacturing is currently moderately important, but by no means the driver of their economies. These countries exhibit high levels of Industry. readiness, thus their manufacturing sectors have a rather prosperous outlook. Manufacturing may develop to become an importer driver of their economies in the future. Manufacturing is an important driver of their economies. Fortunately, for these countries, they are all well-positioned for Industry., thus they will be able to not only sustain their status quo, but even grow their manufacturing sectors. These countries rely heavily on manufacturing, as it is one of the most important drivers of their economies. These countries exhibit a favourable environment for adopting Industry., and therefore manufacturing is likely to continue to play a vital part of their economies or even a more vital part in the future. These countries are firmly positioned in the middle, both in terms of readiness and size of their manufacturing sectors relative to their total economies. The outlook of their manufacturing sectors is rather uncertain. They are not the positioned in the top in terms of Industry. readiness, but they are not far away either, and thus they still have the opportunity to catch up. Manufacturing is a very important driver for these economies, however, their current levels of Industry. readiness are not quite fully geared to support their manufacturing sectors. Nevertheless, they still exhibit medium-high levels of readiness, and thus they have a fairly good outlook, but not prosperous. Manufacturing constitutes a very small part of their economies, and they are by no means positioned to accommodate Industry., thus their manufacturing sectors have a vanishing outlook. Manufacturing is moderately important for these economies. However, these countries currently exhibit low levels of readiness, thus their manufacturing sectors have a negative outlook. Manufacturing is an important driver of their economies. However, unfortunately for these countries, they are all not well-positioned for Industry., quite the contrary, thus they will most likely not be able to only sustain their status quo. 1 Global Industry.

Future shifting global flows the new era of reshoring? In recent decades, offshoring and outsourcing trends have grown substantially, particularly to locations such as South America, Eastern Europe and most predominantly to Asia. However, a new industrial revolution is beginning to gain foothold. While economic arbitrage, mainly exploiting access to low-cost labour, have been a primary motive for this trend of outsourcing and offshoring, low-cost labour countries is typically also less developed. This new industrial revolution requires something completely different than low-cost labour. Rather it requires highly educated labour. Those countries that have outsourced and offshored in the past decades are exactly those countries with the necessarily sophisticated workforce to accommodate the fourth industrial revolution. Developed countries with sufficiently high levels of Industry. now have the opportunity to bring back activities which they have been outsourcing and offshoring in the past decades. Not only do they have the opportunity; with minimal to no cost savings to gain from outsourcing abroad or offshoring, miscellaneous risks, complexity from cultural differences as well as logistics cost and longer delivery times, bringing activities back to the home market will be enormously attractive. Thus, it is very likely that this fourth industrial revolution will, to some extent, reverse the global flows that have taken place in the past decades; an era of reshoring. Specifically, North America, Western Europe, and a few small Asian countries will have the opportunity to bring back manufacturing activities. As these areas are the best-positioned areas in terms of industry., they are also more prone to grow their manufacturing sectors Exhibit 13 Global Industry. Readiness & new flows 3 Global Industry. Readiness Report 1-17

Readiness Industry. will impact the global manufacturing landscape and render reshoring from low-cost countries more attractive for two reasons: Change in capital and labour ratio: Industry. is expected to change the global manufacturing landscape, as production becomes more capital intensive and the advantage of low-cost labour countries therefore erodes. Increased competitiveness: Industry. allows manufacturers to increase their competitiveness both on price but also on other factors such as quality, delivery time, flexibility and customization. For advanced countries, above aspects represent an enormous opportunity in terms of reshoring production activities as well as growing their manufacturing sectors. However, for low-cost labour countries, above aspects represent a tremendously alarming trend, as these countries' competitive advantage typically is rooted in low labour cost levels. This source of competitive advantage is now eroding. Even more alarmingly for these countries, Industry. readiness levels highly correlate with wage levels, therefore these low labour cost countries currently also have low Industry. readiness levels, and thus a bad outlook with respect to transitioning towards Industry.. These countries must develop their positions in order to sustain their manufacturing sectors. Exhibit 1 Global Industry.

Readiness It is apparent that overall Industry. readiness as well as the seven underlying pillars highly correlate with economic development. However, the pillar "" does not correlate as closely as the other pillars. This further substantiates that Industry. is the era of reshoring, as advanced countries clearly are the front-runners when it comes to Industry. readiness. Growth While there is no clear correlation between forecasted GDP per capita growth, there is a segment of 53 countries - equivalent to % of the 1 analysed countries - which currently possess low levels of Industry readiness. (below ), but high levels of growth (above %), whereof have ultra-high levels of growth (above 1%). These countries may develop so rapidly that they may become future potential Industry. challengers, despite their current weak positions.

While that might be true at the moment, this will definitely change in the future due to the high growth levels of some of these less advanced countries. Global Industry. Readiness Report 1-17
