Extended data:

In the early days, the role of Taiwan Province manufacturers in the international division of labor was mainly OEM. They used abundant labor to provide OEM services for the manufacture and assembly of products needed by the international market.

However, the biggest disadvantage of OEM production is that the source of OEM orders is unstable, and the profit in product marketing and design stage cannot be grasped.

Then some manufacturers try to build their own brands (OBM, private brand &; Manufacturing), direct operation of the market.
