Asia: The Engine Driving Global Manufacturing and Industry

When talking about Asia, the world's largest continent by population and economic activity. Also known as the Eastern Hemisphere, it hosts a diverse mix of emerging markets and established powerhouses that shape global supply chains.

Within Asia, manufacturing, the process of turning raw materials into finished goods at scale fuels export growth and job creation. Countries like China, India, and Vietnam dominate sectors ranging from textiles to electronics. At the same time, the pharmaceutical industry, the network of companies that discover, develop, and produce medicines is climbing the value chain, with Indian firms such as Sun Pharma leading global rankings. These two pillars intersect with environmental concerns: the region’s plastic waste, the massive volume of discarded plastic that threatens ecosystems is prompting stricter regulations and new recycling technologies.

Asia also commands a huge share of steel production. The United States, Europe, and Japan rely on Asian steel exporters to meet construction and automotive demand, creating a feedback loop where raw material availability influences manufacturing output. In short, Asia encompasses manufacturing hubs, requires skilled labor and advanced logistics, and drives global industry trends.
