Google Plans to End Pixel Production in China by 2027

Google is preparing to stop manufacturing its Pixel smartphones, smartwatches and wireless earbuds in China from 2027, as the US technology giant shifts more of its production to Vietnam and India.

According to a report by Nikkei Asia, Google has informed suppliers of plans to have its entire Pixel device lineup produced outside China starting next year.

The move comes amid continuing tensions between Washington and Beijing, which have encouraged major US technology companies to reduce their dependence on Chinese manufacturing.

Google has already expanded Pixel production in Vietnam and India. The company is expected to further strengthen manufacturing capacity in both countries as it seeks to increase global smartphone shipments.

The shift will also affect other products in Google's hardware portfolio, including Pixel Watches and wireless earbuds.

The decision highlights the broader transformation taking place in the global electronics supply chain, with major technology companies increasingly diversifying manufacturing beyond China to reduce geopolitical and supply-chain risks.

For Google, moving Pixel production to Vietnam and India could provide greater flexibility while helping the company build a more geographically diversified manufacturing network.
