RE: Are We Really Seeing De-Globalization?

in LeoFinance3 years ago

I think deglobalization will also occur as 3D printing and automation happen. However, I am wondering when transportation costs will drop further or not. If it doesn't then I foresee people just setting up a 3D printing factory to build things on demand.

That is true for physical goods and I think a sensible trend to continue. I believe goods will be made closer to where they are consumed.

A failure for transportation prices to drop might factor in but the big savings will be eliminating most of the cost by having to ship a shorter distance.

So there is incentive either way.
