Segments - Telecom Electronic Manufacturing Services Market by Product Type (Transceivers & Transmitters, Fibre Optic Devices, and Computing Devices), Service (Electronics Assembly, Electronic Design & Engineering, Electronic Manufacturing, and Supply Chain Management), Application (Small & Medium Enterprises and Large Enterprises), and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2023 – 2031
The global telecom electronic manufacturing services market size was valued at USD 155 Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 302.8 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The market is propelled by the rising smartphone subscription rates and subsequent demand for telecom electronic manufacturing services (EMS) from the telecom sector.
Telecom electronic manufacturing services (EMS) are solutions offered by a specific class of manufacturers that design, manufacture, and test the telecom hardware and other value-added services for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and telecom service providers.
The manufacturers and service providers outsource telecom electronic manufacturing services to gain a competitive advantage in the industry by focusing on core business operations such as research & development, sales, and marketing. The EMS companies help drive the production process of the OEMs by providing a basis for optimal design performance and cost-effective production in the manufacturing process.
Telecom electronic manufacturing services are widely adopted by various industries such as communications, automotive, consumer electronics, computers, healthcare, and manufacturing. The healthcare and defense sector relies on EMS companies for producing high-precision and reliable electronic assemblies to be incorporated into the devices.
The EMS companies help OEMs to develop high-speed production capabilities with exceptionally fast turnaround times in a manufacturing setup. The OEMs can focus on building marketing campaigns, research & development, and responsive customer service modules to create value-added services for the consumers. The EMS companies help telecom companies by providing devices with high data processing integrity without interference.
The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the telecom electronic manufacturing services market due to disruptions in the supply chain. Pandemic-induced complications in the supply chain metrics due to lockdown measures and associated complexities have impacted the manufacturing outcome of the telecom EMS companies significantly.
Rising demand for telecommunication devices such as smartphones, wireless phones, routers, and modems is expected to drive the market. According to Oberlo, a subsidiary of Shopify and a dropshipping solutions provider, there are 6.8 billion smartphone users worldwide as of February 2023, while mobile web traffic accounts for 54.8 % of worldwide web traffic.
In February 2023, internet traffic through mobile phones constituted 60.67% of all internet traffic. The digital transition of industries and the rising rate of mobile subscriptions are contributing significantly to the growth of the market.
The high cost of hiring and training skilled professionals in EMS companies is likely to hinder the market. EMS companies are providing technical assistance to OEMs by providing highly skilled labor and infrastructure to boost productivity and efficiency. The training sessions are conducted periodically to train the workforce about the latest developments in the technological landscape and to improve product quality.
The growing implementation of 5G technology in the telecom infrastructure is likely to create significant opportunities for the market. According to Ericsson Mobility November 2022 report data and forecasts, by the end of 2028, 5G subscriptions are anticipated to account for 55 percent of all mobile subscriptions globally. The emergence of 5G technology and subsequent expansion of 5G infrastructure impacts the market positively.
