European Electronic Contract Manufacturing And Design Services Market 2021 - 2028: OEMs Under Pressure to Reduce Costs - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Europe Electronic Contract Manufacturing And Design Services Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By End-use (IT & Telecom, Industrial, Healthcare, Consumer Electronics), By Country, And Segment Forecasts, 2021 - 2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The European electronic contract manufacturing and design services market size is projected to reach USD 68.61 billion by 2028, expanding at a CAGR exceeding 7.1%.

The growth of the market can be attributed to the growing trend among OEMs to opt for contact manufacturing services owing to the growing pricing pressure associated with manufacturing electronic components in-house.

While the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic triggered the demand for healthcare devices, the strong emphasis organizations are putting on rolling out the work-from-home model increased the demand for computing devices, thereby driving the growth of the market.

The market witnessed a slump in 2020 as a result of the pandemic, which triggered supply chain disruptions and resulted in a shortage of semiconductor components. However, order backlogs and the increase in demand for contract manufacturing services from Eastern and Central European countries helped in offsetting the slump.

Electronic contract manufacturing (ECM) and design services typically include electronic design and engineering services, electronics assembly services, electronic manufacturing services, and all the supply chain management and other aftermarket support services offered by contract manufacturers.

As the electronics industry continues to get competitive and electronics products continue to get complex, OEMs are increasingly getting under pressure to reduce costs and shorten the product lifecycles. At this juncture, contract manufacturers can potentially provide services in electronic product design for manufacturing at reduced costs.

Brexit is expected to pose bureaucratic obstacles for EMS companies, thereby delaying the dispatch of orders to OEMs. Moreover, given that several OEMs have moved their pan-EU distribution hubs to mainland Europe, Brexit would particularly impact the long-term contracts with OEM partners in mainland Europe.

However, the Brexit impact is expected to be a short-term impact, and the U.K-EU trade agreements drafted to streamline the U.K.-EU trade are expected to offset it. Brexit is also expected to create lucrative opportunities for EMS companies based in the U.K. to trade beyond European borders.
