Telecom companies benefit from cost savings in production, procurement, and logistics, allowing them to allocate resources strategically and invest in research and development. The expansion of the telecom electronics manufacturing services market is a testament to the integral partnership between EMS providers and the dynamic telecom industry.
Rising demand for electronic devices in developed and developing nations
The growing popularity of smartphones, tablets, wearables, and other smart devices has significantly increased the demand for electronic components. Telecom EMS providers are crucial in manufacturing the complex electronic systems that power these devices, contributing to the market's growth. From entertainment systems to gaming consoles, the demand for innovative and feature-rich electronic devices has grown, leading to increased manufacturing requirements for EMS providers. The rising demand for electronic devices, driven by technological advancements, connectivity needs, and economic growth, has created a conducive environment for expanding the telecom electronics manufacturing services market.
Market Restraining Factors
High labor costs in the manufacturing sector
High labor costs can make manufacturing services more expensive, impacting the overall cost competitiveness of Telecom EMS providers. This challenge becomes particularly significant in a highly competitive market where cost efficiency is crucial. The impact of high labor costs varies by region. Manufacturers in regions with higher labor costs may face increased competition from regions where labor is more affordable. This can lead to a shift in manufacturing locations and global supply chain strategies to optimize costs. The above factors will hamper market growth in the coming years.
Type Outlook
On the basis of type, the market is segmented into electronic design & engineering, electronics assembly, electronic manufacturing, supply chain management, and others. The electronics assembly segment acquired a substantial revenue share in the telecom electronics manufacturing services market in 2022. Electronics assembly allows for mass production, leveraging economies of scale to reduce per-unit production costs. Modern electronics assembly often involves automated processes, leading to increased speed and efficiency. Automated assembly lines can handle repetitive tasks quickly and accurately, contributing to higher overall productivity. Many modern electronics assembly processes adhere to environmentally friendly practices, such as lead-free soldering, contributing to reducing environmental impact.
Product Outlook
Based on product, the market is fragmented into transceivers & transmitters, servers & routers, RF & microwave, computing devices & equipment, fiber optic devices, and others. The servers & routers segment covered a considerable revenue share in the market in 2022. Servers and routers work together within a networked environment. Servers provide services, and routers facilitate the communication between these services and the connected devices. Both servers and routers need to be scalable to accommodate the growing demands of users and network traffic. In the context of Telecom EMS, customization of servers and routers is often necessary to align with the specific requirements of the telecommunications industry.
Regional Outlook
Region-wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. In 2022, the Asia Pacific region held the highest revenue share in the market. OEMs increasingly opting to delegate product design processes to third parties, enabling them to concentrate on their fundamental capabilities. The trend is anticipated to contribute to the expansion of the market in the region, where it is acquiring substantial traction. Moreover, due to its low labor costs, Asia-Pacific has been an irreplaceable center for electronic production for nearly a decade, a significant factor in the region's recent dominance.
