KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Play Audio Listen to Audio Version

The global Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) market size was valued at USD 503.91 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow from USD 534.62 billion in 2023 to USD 856.20 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.0%. Asia Pacific dominated the global market with a share of 35.30% in 2022.


The demand for electronic manufacturing services is estimated to grow due to rising product adoption across healthcare, automotive, and industrial applications. Additionally, service providers heavily focus on providing functionalities such as sub-assembly manufacturing, testing, designing Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), and component assembly & re-engineering. These factors are expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.


Besides, electronic manufacturing services companies invest heavily in increasing industrial output and implementing new technologies, contributing to establishing new worldwide standards. Organizations in this industry have adopted several technological transformations, such as virtual reality, the Internet of Things (IoT), and 3D printing, to expand their production capability. To obtain high-value components and mass customization, market participants are now creating partnerships with a variety of original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMS), Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs), and other partners.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Disruptions in Electronics Supply Chain amid COVID-19 Stalled Market Growth


The outbreak of coronavirus affected the demand for electronic manufacturing services owing to the pandemic’s severe effect on the global electronics supply chain. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted key market players, with their revenues declining significantly.


Furthermore, the pandemic adversely impacted the electronics manufacturing industry in 2020 attributed to factors such as disrupted supply chain of components, limited technology movement & worksite coordination, cybersecurity, and under-absorption of fixed costs. For instance, several companies faced shortages of certain electronic components, especially for capacitors, connectors, memory (both DRAM and Flash), and LCD panels. As a result, companies experienced reduced productivity levels throughout their facilities in the first and second quarters of 2020. For instance, Jabil Inc. stated that its factories were running at roughly 65-70% capacity on the verge of the COVID-19 pandemic.


The impact on the electronics manufacturing industry was anticipated to be far more extensive provided the virus impacted other main industrial countries beyond Germany, India, China, and the U.S.


However, in the long term, the industry was anticipated to get back strongly on track seeing an increase in product development and demand across the healthcare, automotive, computer, and communication sectors. Key areas included the demand for remote monitoring electronic devices that enabled companies to continue working amidst lockdown. For instance, in September 2020, Benchmark Electronics, Inc. partnered with DnaNudge (U.K.-based company) to deliver DnaNudge’s re-engineered lab-free RT-PCR COVID-19 testing system volume production.


LATEST TRENDS

Increasing Awareness of E-Waste Recycling is a Growing Trend


The growing awareness about e-waste recycling is supporting the market growth. In July 2020, UN’s Global E-waste Monitor 2020 stated that global e-waste volume increased by around 21% in 2019. It is also predicted that, by 2030, the global e-waste discarded products with plug or batteries would reach 74 Mt, almost double in just 16 years. This has led government authorities and OEMs to develop several e-waste recycling strategies and initiatives.


For instance, Singapore’s nationwide electronic and electrical waste (e-waste) management system started in July 2021. It resulted in inconvenience for recycling of e-waste for consumers. The system acts as a circular economy approach toward being a zero-waste nation. During the same period, Switzerland and Ghana joined forces to combat and eliminate e-waste.


Furthermore, in March 2020, the European Commission (EC) presented a new circular economy. The proposal has one of its priorities on reducing electrical and electronic waste. The plan specifically outlines immediate goals such as the “right to repair” and improving overall recycling and reusability. It includes reward systems to support the recycling of electronics products and an introduction of common chargers. This will aid in reducing overall e-waste and create awareness regarding reusability and recycling.


ELECTRONIC MANUFACTURING SERVICES MARKET GROWTH FACTORS


Improvement of Greener Electronic Devices to Strengthen Market Prospects


The emergence of green electronic devices is driving the electronics manufacturing services market growth. These devices are manufactured with recyclable parts, non-toxic chemicals, and reduced carbon emissions during production. It helps reduce carbon footprints, lower energy consumption, and improve process control.


The growing concerns about the rising e-waste across the globe have led to the innovation of greener electronic products. According to the Global E-waste Monitor 2020, a report published in collaboration with the UN Environment Program (UNEP), in 2019, around 53.6 million metric tons of e-waste was produced. Raw materials contained in that e-waste were valued at USD 57 billion.


The increasing carbon emission, primarily while producing electronic devices, led electronic manufacturing services providers to adopt sustainable plans to reduce emissions. Henceforth, key market players are focusing on strategic planning to manufacture greener electronics devices, thereby driving the global market growth.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Violation and Lack of Intellectual Property Rights to Hamper Market Growth


Intellectual Property (IP) rights are essential for offering secure legal protection to the innovative creation of electronics devices as they provide a competitive edge to business owners.


The violation of such rights not only invades the innovator's and investor's privacy policies but also restrains the economic development across the market. Generally, small and medium-sized enterprises focus on rapid growth in the market while avoiding the importance of IP rights (IPR) that promises to offer ample business opportunities within a safer environment. Developing economies encounter issues in devoting resources for strengthening intellectual property systems. Therefore, the key market players need to modify their primary manufacturing process and securely attain IP rights. Thus, violation and lack of such IP rights are expected to hinder the market growth.


SEGMENTATION
