What Is OEM? What Is ODM?
OEM
OEM: (Original Clothing Manufacturer) refers to the service where products are produced based on the clientโs specifications and designs. The client owns the designs and often handles marketing and sales, while the manufacturer focuses on production.
ODM
ODM: On the other hand, ODM means the manufacturer designs and produces the product. Then, it is sold under the client’s brand name. This includes product development, design, and manufacturing.
The Key Differences
Design Ownership
With OEM, you own and provide the product designs. With ODM, the manufacturer creates the designs.
Product Development
OEM involves producing based on pre-existing designs. ODM provides an all-encompassing solution, from concept creation to production.
Lead Time
Typically, OEM can have a longer lead time due to customizations. In contrast, ODM solutions can go to market faster using the manufacturer's existing designs.
