Walmart will imported goods from India and reduce imported from China

Walmart is increasing its reliance on India and reducing its reliance on China to cut costs and diversify its supply chain.

Between January and August, 25% of Walmart’s U.S. imports were transported from India, down from 2% in 2018.

However, 60% of its shipments originated from China, down from 80% in 2018.

Walmart’s sourcing senior vice president, Andrea Albright, emphasized the importance of resilient supply chains and said India is crucial to its manufacturing capacity building.

The company pledged to import $10 billion from India annually by 2027.
