Top Manufacturing Nations from Now to 2020

[Kyusuibu Honbu]

Sir you are wasting your time you are gonna get abuse soon

Let us ignore Chinese "intellectual sensitivities" for a minute.

Check this listing of High-technology exports (% of manufactured exports)

i.e High-technology exports are products with high R&D intensity, such as in aerospace, computers, pharmaceuticals, scientific instruments, and electrical machinery % of total manufactured exports

High-technology exports (% of manufactured exports) | Data | Table

Going by this definition nation of Niger is a world leader in High tech exports.

for 2013 52% of Niger's exports are high tech far ahead of USA's at 18%

Here is actual picture of Niger's exports

Note 0.56% of total exports mentioned at the top right side corner in light blue is your "High tech exports"

 

[Kyusuibu Honbu]

LMAO...

"Switchboard relays & fuses" thats an high tech export for you

All hail the "high-techness" of this holy manufactured product.

 

[Shotgunner51]

I was about the call out this unreliable interpretation on High tech exports

Glad to see someone already did.

As you mentioned High Tech exports by definition lumps everything from manufacturing of electronics to aerospace parts.

I.e a simple product like Nokia earphones is considered in the same league as aircraft engine blades.

Now common sense would dictate the fact manufacturing of aircraft engine blades is far more complicated than manufacturing a earphone, considering the former even involves 12 sigma in quality control, unlike other industries.

But for obvious reasons $ value add of earphones exports will be greater than engine blades, because with the ubiquity of cellphone even a poor dirt farmer in some remote part of the world can afford and purchase one.

Unless high tech exports is divided by sector and sophistication, it will never provide proper picture.

Another analogy here would be to assume India is better at manufacturing or sophistication than nations like Italy, UK and Russia because India's $value added from manufacturing is greater than these nations. Which is obviously very foolish to do so.

First of all manufacturing and hi-tech are two different measures, the latter has a narrower scope.

About Niger

It's not surprising to see as high as 52% of their manufactured exports was classified as hi-tech by World Bank, though value was only $48.6 million. Apparently World Bank and UN have classified uranium, noting significant amount of R&D intensity required in its production from ore as well as its handling due to radioactive nature, as a hi-tech exports.​

Niger is the world's fourth-ranking producer of uranium. Major investors in Niger uranium industry includes Areva NC of France, Overseas Uranium Resources Development Company of Japan, China National Nuclear Corp (China Nuclear International Uranium Corporation, or "Sino-U"), Korea Resources Corp (KORES), etc. Though these companies invest, operate and export the uranium products from Niger, World Bank does not account these hi-tech exports under China, France or Japan.​

First uranium from Niger mine​

Trial operation began at Azelik on 10 December 2010, with the first barrel of yellowcake being produced on 30 December, China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) has announced. The mine is the first of CNNC's overseas interests to enter production, under the control of its subsidiary China Nuclear International Uranium Corporation (Sino-U).​

Testing will continue at Azelik with a view to reaching full capacity (700 tU/year) as soon as possible, according to CNNC. SinoU has previously said that it hopes to raise production at Azelik, which has reported resources of 13,000 tU at 0.2%, to 2500 t/yr by 2015 and double that by 2020 (5000 t/yr).​

Azelik is owned by Societe des Mines d'Azelik SA (SOMINA), a joint venture established in 2007 in which the government of Niger has a 33% interest and Sino-U holds 37.2%. The remainder of the company is owned by Chinese investment management company ZXJOY Invest, and China-based private mining and investment firm Trendfield Holdings.​

"Switchboard relays & fuses" thats an high tech export for you

All hail the "high-techness" of this holy manufactured product.

I found something interesting according to your data UK high tech export is 24 billion$ in 2013 which is less than Thailand 34 billion in high tech at same period meaning UK is behind Thailand in high tech stuff

Just some G.K here

While Thailand may be nowhere close to UK in terms of manufacturing sophistication, they do hold monopoly in manufacture of sliders, a critical component in Hardisks, heck due to floods in Thailand led to sharp rise in Hardisks.

Well I don't care about other we are way behind we should at least be in top ten in next decade

"Switchboard relays & fuses" thats an high tech export for you

All hail the "high-techness" of this holy manufactured product.

Nice pic of "Switchboard relays & fuses"!

So you consider "Switchboard relays & fuses" is more hi-tech than uranium products from Niger, produced by billions of FDI investment as well as expertise of multinational nuclear energy giants like China National Nuclear Corp under tight supervision of International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations Comtrade captured $48.6 million of such exports or 52% of total manufactured exports in 2013 as high-technology HT2 "Radioactive Material" commodity code 524 since as early as SITC Rev 2.

Were you illiterate on any of the above before posting this funny "Switchboard relays & fuses" pic as Niger's hi-tech exports? Well you did fool some illiterates into thanking your post.

 

[Shotgunner51]

have a look at PCT annual statistics, your delusion will be smashed by the reality that you lot are the worst cheaters

Yes bro I have the full report of 2014 World Intellectual Indicators (162 pages) from WIPO, feel free to let me know what data you need. For simplicity let see this World Bank link which also use WIPO PCT data.

Patent applications, residents | Data | Table
Patent applications are worldwide patent applications filed through the Patent Cooperation Treaty procedure or with a national patent office for exclusive rights for an invention--a product or process that provides a new way of doing something or offers a new technical solution to a problem. A patent provides protection for the invention to the owner of the patent for a limited period, generally 20 years.

Other than patent, let's check Industrial Designs Registrations from WIPO, this has more direct relationship to manufacturing. Since 2011, China has accounted for the majority of design counts worldwide (50–55%). By 2013 China has 1,224,442 registrations in force, see following chart for top 20:

World Intellectual Property Org has shown that in terms of overall scale China leads in patent by far, and in the case of industrial design registrations even beats rest of the world combined. Well let's keep up the education, innovation and R&D efforts to move on to the next level.

 

[oproh]

Gosh, there's always an indian bragging about india's imaginary achievements in every thread here in pdf.
Anyway, congratulations to China for always being among the top-performing countries.

 

[Shotgunner51]

India should stop bragging lol.

but why Chinese are trolling Indians? both of u are 3rd world rats
let's face it guys if India is a hell hole them China is shit hole. and please please please stop comparing your shit hole with superpower like USA.

Speak for your own country, and start a sanitation thread, now stick to topic.

But very well said, let's face ground realities & hard facts. On topic, as per recorded data (not forecast, speculations) provided by MAPI, World Bank, United Nations Comtrade, World Intellectual Property Org, China tops the world by far in overall scale of manufacturing value added, hi-tech exports, patent filings, industrial design registrations. You were also right, China shouldn't compare with any country, since none is even close in overall size.

If per-capita industrial benchmarks are needed for some self-betterment purposes, sought for the top performers, they are South Korea, Japan & Germany, don't settle for anything less.

I never thought you would stoop this low, be so shameless to engage in such level of self-flagellation. I hope the ROI on this post is worth it.

There is no UN comtrade reference stating or classifying Uranium as high-tech export and not surprising you have not provided any reference link from UN comtrade, rather went on to put some unrelated link on Chinese involvement in Uranium mining in Niger.

But this is not the first time you have engaged in such blatant lies.

Below is following text mentioning about uranium from UN comtrade website.

http://comtrade.un.org/db/mr/rfCommoditiesList.aspx?px=H1&cc=2844

284410 Name: Natural uranium, its compounds, mixtures
Description: Natural uranium and its compounds; alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products and mixtures containing natural uranium or natural uranium compounds

284420 Name: Uranium (enriched U235), plutonium compounds, alloys
Description: Uranium enriched in U 235 and its compounds; plutonium and its compounds; alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products and mixtures containing uranium enriched in U 235, plutonium or compounds of these products

284430 Name: Uranium (depleted U235), thorium compounds, products
Description: Uranium depleted in U 235 and its compounds; thorium and its compounds; alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products and mixtures containing uranium depleted in U 235, thorium or compounds of these products

Nice pic of "Switchboard relays & fuses"!

So you consider "Switchboard relays & fuses" is more hi-tech than uranium products from Niger,

Where did I even mention Uranium in my posts, are you even on the right thread?

produced by billions of FDI investment as well as expertise of multinational nuclear energy giants like China National Nuclear Corp under tight supervision of International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations Comtrade captured $48.6 million of such exports or 52% of total manufactured exports in 2013 as high-technology HT2 "Radioactive Material" commodity code 524 since as early as SITC Rev 2.

More lies

Here is code 524 details from UN comtrade for 2013

2013 :

524 Other inorganic chemicals; organic, inorganic compounds precious metals

Where the heck does it mention "Uranium" or "high-tech"?

524 Other inorganic chemicals; organic, inorganic compounds precious metals
In 2013, the value (in current US$) of exports of "other inorganic chemicals; organic, inorganic compounds precious metals" (SITC group 524)
increased by 1.0 percent (compared to 13.9 percent average growth rate from 2009-2013) to reach 12.4 bln US$ (see table 2), while imports
decreased by 3.3 percent to reach 11.4 bln US$ (see table 3). Exports of this commodity accounted for 0.6 percent of world exports of SITC section 5,
and 0.1 percent of total world merchandise exports (see table 1). Germany, Russian Federation and China were the top exporters in 2013 (see
table 2). They accounted for 13.6, 11.5 and 10.0 percent of world exports, respectively. Germany, Italy and France were the top destinations, with
respectively 15.1, 9.1 and 6.8 percent of world imports (see table 3).
The top 15 countries/areas accounted for 86.7 and 75.3 percent of total world exports and imports, respectively (see tables 2 and 3). In 2013,
Russian Federation was the country/area with the highest value of net exports (+1.4 bln US$), followed by China (+672.6 mln US$). By MDG regions
(see graph 2), the largest surpluses in this product group were recorded by Commonwealth of Independent States (+1.4 bln US$), Developed North
America (+370.5 mln US$) and Western Asia (+236.1 mln US$). The largest trade deficits were recorded by South-eastern Asia (-486.5 mln US$),
Latin America and the Caribbean (-283.6 mln US$) and Southern Asia (-279.2 mln US$).

Were you illiterate on any of the above before posting this funny "Switchboard relays & fuses" pic as Niger's hi-tech exports? Well you did fool some illiterates into thanking your post.

Forgive me and Indian members @nik141993 and @Manindra for blasphemously ignoring Chinese "intellectual sensitivities"

The definition of High tech exports by World Bank definition:

high-technology exports are products with high R&D intensity, such as in aerospace, computers, pharmaceuticals, scientific instruments, and electrical machinery

Forgive us for holy sin to include or even considering "Switchboard relays & fuses" as "electrical machinery"

Assuming your lies on Uranium being considered a high tech export is true.

It only vindicates the point @Bussard Ramjet and myself have made on high tech exports figures requiring deeper analysis than making retarded conclusions on manufacturing sophistication.

So thank you for your attempt to assert our points, only next please back it up with links

Not many countries have a president bragging that their country will be a superpower by a certain year. As a matter of fact, I can name only one.

If their leader brags like that, imaging their internet warriors.

India as nation has a history of Braggart leaders.

One of them in 1958 bragged about a social campaign called "Great Leap" claiming India will reach the level of industrialized nations.

The campaign ended in the worst humanitarian disaster leading to roughly 20-35 million deaths.

lol suppa Pawwa is behind Singapore lol

@Aham Brahmasmi

Amazes me to witness this Pakistani poster deluded about "aukaat" of his nation in manufacturing

Let us not even bring in the fact Pakistan is roughly 3 decades behind India in manufacturing output and start with Singapore.

Manufacturing, value added (current US$) | Data | Table

For starters in manufacturing output value for 2013

Pakistan : $ 31 billion
Singapore : $ 52 billion.

But given the fact Singapore is known manufacturing hub for electronics maybe it unfair to compare so with Pakistan and Singapore is completely different class.

But guess what tiny Puerto Rico, known for tourism rather than Manufacturing has higher output than Pakistan
2013 value:

Peurto Rico : $48 billion
Pakistan : $ 31 Billion


Maybe esteemed Pakistani member @I S I was aware of Pakistan's manufacturing and hence chose to engage in deluded schadenfreude

 

[rott]

'India' has never achieved anything in their existence. Even their own 'country' was put together by the British. Even that, they couldn't do by themselves. They beg for everything from UNSC to Olympic hosting to SDR and end up humiliating themselves and blaming others like a loser instead of concentrating on fixing their failures.
From economy, military, political, space, sports, technology China is decades ahead. Even in the only war between the two, China humiliated them and stripped their dignity.

That's why we laugh at them. That's why we don't respect them. Non-achieving braggarts don't deserve any respect whatsoever.

Haha that was so rude. But true.

http://comtrade.un.org/db/mr/rfCommoditiesList.aspx?px=H1&cc=2844

You are getting serious with UN Comtrade, source of high-technology exports data? That's a good start, progress from illiteracy, you even showed me HS 1996 code, nice!

But do you shamelessly know Comtrade have SITC Rev 1, SITC Rev 2 (the one I quoted, see below), SITC Rev 3, SITC Rev 4, HS 1992, HS 1996, HS 2002, HS 2007, HS 2012 codes? Yes, you showed me that uranium in your HS 1996 code is radioactive, actually in any code, uranium products are always "Radioactive Material".

Progress from illiteracy is good, but not enough! Let me help you learn and grow some literacy:

Sanjaya Lall, (June 2000) "The technological structure and performance of developing country manufactured exports, 1985-98", Oxford development studies, 28(3), 337-6

http://unstats.un.org/unsd/tradekb/Attachment62.aspx

Page 9: "High technology (HT) products have advanced and fast-changing technologies, with high R&D investments and prime emphasis on product design. The most advanced technologies require sophisticated technology infrastructures, high levels of specialised technical skills and close interactions between firms, and between firms and universities or research institutions. However, some products like electronics have labour-intensive final assembly, and their high value-to-weight ratios make it economical to place this stage in low wage areas. These products lead in new international integrated production systems where different processes are separated and located by MNCs according to fine differences in production costs. We separate HT1, electronic and electrical products from HT2, other high-tech products"

Page 34, 35: Annex Table 1: Technological classification of exports (SITC 3-digit, revision 2), find HT2, code 524, RADIOACTIVE ETC MATERIAL

Yes, it's uranium, not "switch board relays & fuses" as in that idotic pic you posted, that accounts for $48.6 million or 52% of 2013 high-tech exports for Niger, now you got it?
