VOLUME 1 - WEST EUROPE 2008
In 1995, Western Europe accounted for 21% of global electronics production. By 2000, this had fallen to 18% and in 2007 was estimated to be around 15% as manufacturers looked to reduce costs by moving volume production from high-cost to low-cost locations. Although the Asia-Pacific (and China in particular) has been the main beneficiary, Central and Eastern Europe and Mexico and Brazil have also benefited from significant inward investment. In the longer-term many of today’s low-cost locations will also offer significant market opportunities creating the need for further investment in local manufacturing. It is worth noting that although Western Europe is losing share of both European and global electronics production it remains a significant market opportunity. The region will also continue to excel in the area of research, design, IP and the commercialization of emerging technologies (plastic displays, printed electronics etc.) and in doing so will continue to have a major influence on the development of the global electronics industry.
A European strategy will therefore continue to be a major
factor in the business plans of the leading European and global
electronics companies. Volume 1 of the Yearbook of World Electronics
Data provides the information to track the region at both
a country and regional level.
