Factors Favouring Hong Kong Companies
Lack of local production of quality consumer goods at competitive prices
- More focused on heavy industries such as power generation, metallurgy, mining, chemicals, etc
- Produce some consumer items, mainly domestic electrical appliances like LCD TVs, vacuum cleaners and refrigerators
- Most competitive manufacturers are usually those producing for export under processing agreements
- Production of other light consumer items falls short of ever-growing demand

Growing brand awareness

An ideal regional distribution centre
- Situated at at the crossroads between East and West Europe
- Adopted EU’s common external trade policy and measures
- Lower operational and labour costs
- 14 Special Economic Zones (SEZs), providing tax relief as high as 65% for SMEs

Keys to Succeed
Some recommendations
- Target Poland but not Poland alone- Explore Poland’s potential as a regional centre for distribution in Europe
- Get ready and strive for ODM and OBM orders- Get prepared with well-designed collections featuring decent designs and
branding to set out ODM and OBM businesses
- Never settle for inferior quality- Likely to trade down, but not a dumping place for unsold products
- Leverage on Poles’ good perception of Hong Kong- Quality control, third-party testing, professional services
- Win business by taking reasonable risks and increasing flexibility- E.g. giving credit or longer credit terms to creditworthy Polish buyers, plus
accommodating smaller orders
