A large survey of consumers and manufacturers from around the world has found a number of interesting statistics, though some are interesting not in and of themselves, but in what they imply about those surveyed.For instance, 57% of consumers say they're "always or usually" aware of a product's country of origin. This seems rather generous, considering how incredibly complex the supply chain is, and how a given high-tech product might include pieces from 10 or 20 different countries, depending on how deep you want to dig.And while 67% of people said that product quality is better today than it was 5 years ago, 75% think manufacturers don't use the best-quality materials and don't follow environmentally friendly procedures.Perhaps most entertainingly, 97% of manufacturers consider themselves "ahead of the curve" in safety and reliability, and nearly that many think the same regarding sustainability and innovation. They can't all be above average.
