China Plant Location Factor
Get China Plant Capital Cost Based on the Cost in other Country
Intratec Plant Location Factors (IL Factors) are multipliers that convert industrial plant construction costs from one country to another. The application of IL Factors is simple: to estimate the investment required for constructing a plant in a specific country, simply multiply the known plant investment from a reference country by the appropriate location factor.
IL Factors and key manufacturing costs in China and up to 32 other countries are provided with the annual subscription to Intratec Industry Economics Worldwide.
Data Use. Calculated monthly, Plant Location Factors provide a straightforward way to estimate what it would cost to build a manufacturing plant in a country of interest, based on construction cost data from other countries. The usage of Intratec Plant Location Factors is simple: to determine the plant cost in a country of interest, one simply multiplies the known plant cost in the reference country by the respective location factor for the specific period. IL factors and key manufacturing costs in China and up to 32 other countries are provided with the annual subscription to "Intratec Industry Economics Worldwide".
