This IDC study examines the expansion of worldwide electronic manufacturing service (EMS) providers and original design manufacturers (ODMs) in the consumer electronics business segment. The consumer segment is the second-largest business segment in terms of revenue generation for the EMS/ODM industry and is expected to be one of the fastest-growing segments for the next several years. This study examines the growth trends in the segment and highlights the providers that compete and dominate in this segment.

"IDC believes that growth opportunities in the consumer segment will be some of the best in the industry for those EMS/ODM providers that choose to develop a dominant and defensible presence in the market." ? Flint Pulskamp, program manager, Electronic Manufacturing Services
