Google to Shift All Pixel Production Out of China by 2027 Amid Supply Chain Diversification
Google plans to move all production of its Pixel smartphones, smartwatches, and wireless earbuds out of China by 2027, shifting manufacturing to Vietnam and India. This decision follows successful development of high-end Pixel phones in Vietnam and aims to diversify supply chains amid US-China tensions. Google does not sell Pixel phones in China, reducing reliance on domestic production. The company also expects an 8-10% increase in Pixel shipments this year despite rising component costs, seeking to expand its user base for AI services.
