Important Aspects of International Trade
Cost Reduction
One of the most immediate benefits of international trade is lower costs to consumers. The lower cost is the result of two factors. First, companies can produce items overseas, saving money on labor and material costs. Second, an increase in competition forces companies to make their products more attractive to consumers either through product features or lowered prices.
Increased Production Efficiency
The increase in competition and price pressure from imported goods forces companies to become more efficient in their production practices and overall operation. Companies achieve better efficiencies in several ways. They may innovate new methods of production or improve the processes they already have in place. This efficiency ultimately drives overall cost reductions.
Resource Specialization & Allocation
Certain countries have an abundance of resources that they are more than happy to export through international trade. Other smaller countries do not have that luxury, so they are more dependent on imports. Global trade allows countries to maximize their resources through the exporting process.
Innovation
Competition within global trade forces companies to improve their products to compete with other companies. They must innovate to distinguish their products from increased competition, improve their cost to consumers and to be first to market with new ideas.
