'low-cost competitors'
Hi,
Please have a look at this:
Competition was tough, especially when new low-cost competitors from abroad came on the scene.
Does 'low-cost competitors' mean competitors who have low production costs (so they can compete more effectively) or competitors who offer low prices to customers?
Many thanks,
Nessie.

I would see it this way. Because the concern is "competition" which include anything being competitive. So to avoid dealing with the question you have, I would rather not use the word "competitors".
