The European Electronic Manufacturing Services Industry 2010-2015
The Complete guide to the European Electronic manufacturing Services Industry
The European Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) Industry is forecast in 2011 to increase by 6.4% over 2010 across total Europe. However, the rate of growth 2011 versus 2010 in Western Europe is expected to be 2.7% and for Central & Eastern Europe and other nearby low cost countries it is expected to be 9.2%. As we forecast in the 2009 edition, the industry which suffered reductions in revenues, during the 2008-9 recession has recovered somewhat during 2010 and early 2011. We expect that total revenues in ‘CEE and Other’ to be back to 2007 levels by 2012 but revenues in Western Europe are unlikely to reach those of 2007 within the time frame of this report. We do expect growth in both the Western European and CEE & Other regions across the time frame of the report but the economy of many major Western European countries has slowed in recent months and the forecast for Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in most leading economies has been downgraded.
The shift of electronic production from the higher labour cost Western Europe to Central & Eastern Europe has continued and indeed accelerated over the last 2 years. As the cost of electronic assembly became probably the most important element for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) so EMS companies shifted much of the production to factories in lower cost areas and even though economic conditions have since improved, that production has not returned to Western European plants. By 2015, the end of our forecast period, we expect that ‘CEE & Other’ will account for more than 60% of all European electronic production, up from an estimated 57% at the end of 2010.
Group 1 EMS companies, typically with global operations and sales turnovers in billions of Euro have continued to migrate the remaining production of Consumer, Computer and Mobile Communications (3C) products to lower cost countries. There has been an increase in the number of Group 2 and Group 3 EMS companies operating lower cost manufacturing plants as they seek to provide greater value to their customers. All of these three groups have retained some manufacturing and the greater part of the design, development and sales teams in Western Europe to maintain relationships with the OEM’s based in that area. Group 4 Ems companies in our definition, are small and operate nationally and possibly in niche sectors.
We expect to see the low volume/high mix sectors of Automotive, Medical, Control & Instrumentation, Industrial and Telecommunications (AMCIT) grow in Western Europe by between 2.8% to 4.4%. In total we estimate that there are more than 720 companies across all groups of EMS companies and we expect to see further consolidation of this number as competition in Western Europe in the AMCIT sectors increases. Some companies are still at lower sales turnover in 2010 than for previous years and although many companies have restructured their operations to match lower sales, some are still recovering their financial position and vulnerable to further difficult economic conditions. Electronic production, specifically automated board assembly is beginning to become commoditised and all EMS companies will be looking to increase margins by the provision of additional services throughout the lifetime of the product.
