[KN] Global competition means businesses face rivals and competition from abroad who may produce goods at lower costs.
[APP] For example, UK factories cannot compete with cheaper Chinese products.
[AN] This forces some factories to close down which reduces manufacturing jobs leading to de-industrialisation as the economy shifts away from the declining industry.

(KN)High competition in foreign trade of goods will force the country to specialize in services.
(APP)For instance, China has the biggest secondary sector of any country and much of the output it produces is exported to other countries so many countries with lesser access to raw materials focus instead on tertiary sector due to high competition.
(AN)This in turn helps create jobs for people who are skilled at certain tasks and crafts, helping them generate an income, which increases their purchasing power, thus leading to better living standards.

[KN]Global competition can cause de-industrialisation because cheaper goods are produced abroad.
[APP]For example, factories in countries like China or India can make clothes or electronics at much lower costs.
[AN]This means local industries in developed countries struggle to compete on price, so they may shut down.
It also leads to job losses as factories close, pushing workers out of manufacturing.
In the long run, the economy shifts more towards services, reducing the size of the secondary sector.

[KN] Because the countries see their rivals producing at cheaper cost.
[APP] For example, UK manufacturing industry have declined as cheaper imports from country like China became more competitive.
[AN] If a factory shuts down the country would be reliant on services rather than manufacturing and would also make people lose their jobs leading to poor standard of living.

[KN] It is beacause there are more cheaper goods from abroad then local goods.
[APP] For instance, china produces more cheaper goods than UK which makes UK face compitition from it.
[AN] Thus the local factories would no meet the expected sale which may lead them to shut down, resulting many losing their job .

[kn] Global competition from low-wage economies makes manufacturing in developed countries less competitive.
[app] For example, UK factories struggle to compete with cheaper Chinese imports.
[an+] This can force factories to close, causing job losses and leading to de-industrialisation.

[KN] Global competition can cause deindustrialisation when developed countries face rivals producing at lower costs.
[APP]For example, many UK factories struggle to compete with cheaper chinese goods forcing them to close down.
[AN] Factory closures reduce domestic manufacturing output this leads to job losses in factories which reduces incomes for workers hence lower incomes cut consumer spending(lower standards of living).

[KN] Global competition occurs when firms in developed countries face rivals from abroad that can produce goods at lower costs.
[APP] For example, UK factories may struggle to compete with cheaper manufactured goods from China.
[AN] This can force domestic factories to shut down, leading to loss of manufacturing jobs, higher unemployment in industrial regions, and long-term economic decline in the secondary sector.

[KN]: Global competition can lead to de-industrialisation because in developed countries businesses face rivals and competition from abroad who may produce goods at lower costs.
[APP]: For example, UK factories can't compete with cheaper Chinese goods.
[AN]: Thus this leads to closure of business, which further leads to unemployment in manufacturing jobs which lowers income and leads to long term economic decline it also lowers peoples living standards hence leading to poverty.

KN: Global competition can cause deindustrialization when developed countries have to compete with low wage economies.
APP: Many factories on the UK close down because of cheaper products preferred form china and labour is cheap there too.
AN: Due to this businesses switch to tertiary sector as just through branding and marketing their products efficiently, they will be able to attract more customers, due to which sales would increase, achieving customer loyalty, which improves brand image due to which there more revenue and higher profit margins earned, therefore, encouraging more businesses to switch to tertiary sector, causing deindustrialization.

Global competition can lead to de-industrialisation because low-wage economies produce goods more cheaply. For example, UK factories struggle to compete with lower-priced Chinese goods. As a result, many factories shut down, leading to job losses and a shrinking manufacturing sector.

(KN)
Global competition means businesses in other countries can make goods cheaper.
(APP)
For example, factories in developing countries may have a lower wages so they sell clothes or electronics at lower prices.
(AN)
This makes it harder for factories in developed countries to compete. Many close down leading to de industrialization because fewer people work in manufacturing.
Overtime this can weaken the economy's secondary sector and push more workers into the tertiary sector instead.

KN: Global competition can cause firms to relocate production abroad due to less cost of production in smaller economies, causing de-industrialisation.

APP for e.g. an American phone maker moves factories overseas to China after rivals cut prices.

AN: this leads to domestic job losses and idle factories. Consumers may get cheaper phones but local manufacturing declines. Governments then must retrain workers or attract new industries like Trump is doing right now.

[KN]:Global competition can lead to de-industrialisation because manufacturers in developing countries often produce goods at lower costs.[APP]:For example, clothing factories in Bangladesh or electronics producers in China can sell products more cheaply than businesses in the USA or UK due to lower wages and production costs.
[AN+]:As a result, developed countries may lose manufacturing jobs when firms close or move production abroad, causing a decline in the secondary sector and a shift towards service industries.

[KN]When competitors set lower prices from abroad,it results in de industrialization.
[APP]For example UK cant compete with china in secondary sector because china charges lower prices.
[AN]This leads to de industrialization which bears more output in the economy leading to higher productivity which leads to economic growth.
