Electronics - coming and going
Here’s a facinating site that contains world maps. According to the site, “Worldmapper is a collection of world maps, where territories are re-sized on each map according to the subject of interest.”
Electronics Exports–Territory size shows the proportion of worldwide net exports of electronics (in US$) that come from there. Net exports are exports minus imports. When imports are larger than exports the territory is not shown.
Electronics Imports–Territory size shows the proportion of worldwide net imports of electronics (in US$) that are received there. Net imports are imports minus exports. When exports are larger than imports the territory is not shown.
This is quite an interesting view on things. And, as we’ve all seen, the implications of a global electronics supply chain is pronounced in terms of the impact on the business where changes are now propogated around the globe.
It’s an interesting site with a variety of very interesting maps. Check it out.
