We recently noticed the return of some companies to their countries of origin after having relocated their activities in low-cost countries. The reasons are varied: rising transportation costs, rising wages, problems with the quality of products.
Is this is the beginning of a generalized movement or is it rather a passenger movement?

I would add that we are witnessing a relocation from the East to the West. Interesting article in the LATimes, link below.

Luciano Fratocchi and colleagues have published some studies on that. See Luciano's page here at RG: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Luciano_Fratocchi/publications
Yes, there is a drastic relocation back to countries of origin due to the low cost of production in the home country.
