Every day the demand and price of
electrical and electronic items are fluctuating with competition becoming
tough in the market. In this situation how do some of the biggest and best
molders continue to grow?
There are some techniques to stay on top in these economically down times.
One of the primary growth drivers in electrical and electronic industry,
especially the electronic part, is selecting and understanding the market to
be served and focusing on the market. Top companies have achieved these
critical mass through acquisition and expansion, by obtaining global
footprint in order to serve customers worldwide, and integrate their
business model.
The industry is a nearly $60 billion global industry, which is driving
supplier consolidation as OEMs and CEMs (contract electronic manufacturers)
seeking single-source global suppliers that are financially stable and big
enough to carry.
Now, these big players wants the production in the region of consumption in
order to save on shipping costs. The reduced complexity in the supply chain,
the increased speed to market, and of course increased levels of integration
are also on the laundry list of requirements.
India and China have come up with great development in this industry in
quantity production. The innovation and design part is again the prime work
of the developed countries. Here it is just copied and produced at lower
costs due to chief labour. The products are exported for consumption or for
re-export, as we see in the case of Middle East.
