Abstract
The Complete Guide to the European Electronic Manufacturing Services Industry
With high volume manufacturing of mass-market products gravitating to low-cost locations, the EMS industry is going through a period of rapid change. The top companies have already moved the majority of production to low-cost locations either in Asia or East and Central Europe. In 2006 the top ten European EMS companies generated 70% of their revenues from facilities in Eastern Europe, up from around 60% a year before. Outside of the large global EMS groups, the major regional European players are also looking to supplement manufacturing facilities in Western Europe either through their own facilities in East and Central Europe, North Africa and Asia or through strategic alliances. For smaller sub-regional companies offshore manufacturing will be through partnerships.
An ability to offer low-cost manufacturing will remain a key trend throughout the period to 2011 and combined with the dominant position held by the major EMS in volume products this will be a major factor in East and Central Europe showing significantly stronger growth than West Europe.
Despite this, the real battle for the vast majority of the around 600 EMS companies in Europe will be to target the markets in Western Europe - such as automotive, industrial, aerospace, defence, medical, control and instrumentation and high-end telecommunications - where solving complexity, providing value added services through the proximity to the OEM will be the core competences for success. Competition is expected to intensify with the emergence of regional players with multiple locations and strong focus on the growth markets. Global players with an established network of manufacturing facilities across Western Europe will also compete in this market as will national players serving a single country. Increased competition will lead to consolidation as companies are acquired or close due to ever increasing financial pressures.
