According to a report by Nikkei Asia, Google intends to cease manufacturing its Pixel products in China by 2027. The move is part of a broader strategy to diversify its supply chain, with production shifting to India and Vietnam.
The report, which cites sources familiar with the matter, indicates that Google has already begun moving some Pixel production to these countries. This aligns with a trend among tech companies to reduce reliance on Chinese manufacturing due to geopolitical tensions and supply chain risks.
Google has not officially confirmed the timeline, but the company has previously announced plans to manufacture Pixel phones in India. The shift is expected to affect not only smartphones but also other Pixel devices, such as smartwatches and earbuds.
This decision comes amid increasing scrutiny of technology supply chains and efforts by several governments to encourage local manufacturing. For India, this move could boost its position as a global manufacturing hub, while Vietnam continues to attract electronics makers.
