The Impact of globalization can be categorized into two parts: 01) market Globalization 2) Product globalization.

Market globalization helps any business to expand in other countries too. Due to the lower tariff rates it makes the consumer price for any product lower than ever and it helps any business to expand in foreign countries. It also means that he culture and the kind of people of any particular country should be considered as the culture of every country is different and it can hinder the product market.

Product Globalization: Product globalization is the purchasing raw materials and services of any particular product from different countries having lower raw material price and also to assemble in ye different country having lower labour cost .this is called product globalization. China is one of some countries which is famous for most of the company’s manufacturing hub.
