Countries like Japan and China have way more man power at work.

While China has a couple universities working on the development of artificial spider silk, it does not seem like there are any companies there attempting to commercialize it as of yet, at least none that I have found. I agree with you about Japan, though.

Once another country has their own silkworms producing similar material, they can scale up and bring to market a material in months, not years like kblb.

Depends on their method of producing it. Spinning spider protiens from E.coli or Goat Milk requires a lot of expensive equipment and a decent sized factory to do which requires a lot of capital, though it seems like Japan is well on their way to build it. Using silkworms is a much cheaper meathod, but each cycle takes a couple months and there is the issue of achieving homozygosity and reducing the natural variances in the fibers. It is the natural variances in the fiber that I believe is the reason that Monster Silk is not on the market yet and hopefully gets resolved soon if it hasnt already been.
