Development of the Electronics Market

The estimated total assembly value of the global electronics market declined by roughly 15 percent at the annual level, dropping to 840 billion US dollars. Its value is expected to increase again in 2010 and reach the 1,000 billion US dollar milestone in 2011. Total after market service (AMS) spending is expected to grow roughly on par with the overall electronics market. 


                                 
 
Computer, communication and consumer electronics continue to be the biggest product segments, but these segments have also lost quite a bit of value during the year as a result of the decrease in end-market demand. In coming years, non-traditional electronic
manufacturing service (EMS) markets, such as medical and industrial, are expected to gain a stronger foothold.
 

Elcoteq continues to hold strong position in the worldwide EMS industry. The company was ranked on 8th place of the world’s top 50 EMS providers in 2009 (source: annual research by Manufacturing Market Insider, MMI, March 2010). The ranking is done based on the yearly revenues of each company.
