Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) are the type of companies that manufacture original design products on the basis of the specifications and requirements provided by a different company, often referred to as Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). The setup is such that ODMs are contracted by OEMs to produce goods on their behalf.

There are instances where the OEM and the ODM have a licensing agreement and the name of ODM also appears on the product. For instance, if the consumer buys a computer hard drive from a major company such as Samsung, the hardware inside can be manufactured by some other company such as Seagate.

The ODMs play a crucial role in the manufacturing ecosystem by offering design and manufacturing expertise. The ODMs enable OEMs to focus extensively on building their brand and handling sales and distribution. Companies striving to bring new and original products into the market often seek the aid of ODMs.

The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse effect on the Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) market. The lockdowns imposed by several governments all over the world to restrict and regulate human contact constrained the supply chain & logistical activities, which in turn severely affected the market growth. The relaxation in the regulation after the normalization of the COVID pandemic situation has created momentum in the market and is expected to have a positive effect in the coming years.
