KPMG's Guide to International Business Location Costs


Competitive Alternatives is KPMG’s guide to comparing international business locations in mature and high growth markets.

2012 Edition

The 2012 study is the most thorough comparison of international business locations ever undertaken by KPMG, and contains valuable information for any company locating international business operations. New in 2012 is the addition of the BRIC countries—Brazil, Russia, India, and China—to the study.

Competitive Alternatives 2012 is an expansion and update of previous KPMG publications, and measures the combined impact of 26 significant business cost components that are most likely to vary by location. The study also compares data on a variety of non-cost competitiveness factors. The study examines 19 industry operations in 14 countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
