Market Overview
Phenomenal Demand for Wireless Products Boosts Electronics Manufacturing Service in the North American Telecom Industry
Exceptional customer demand for wireless and mobile technologies in North America, especially in Mexico, is causing a major turnaround in the fortunes of the region’s telecom industry. This windfall has, in turn, given a significant boost to the electronics manufacturing service (EMS) providers market. The telecom industry, which was not profitable for EMS providers during the telecom slump, is proving to be a huge market. Telecom original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), having learnt from their experiences, have been keen to outsource not only manufacturing but also design services to EMS providers.
With the rise in demand for wireless and IP telephony, there will be a simultaneous hike in the level of outsourcing to EMS providers. "The telecom spending in the North American market is also increasing, thereby providing more prospects for EMS providers," says the analyst of this research service. "The demand for high-end networking and switching is also creating new market opportunities." The spurt in potential is encouraging EMS providers to focus on offering lucrative products and technologies.
Original Design Manufacturers’ Specialized Skills Weans the Market away from Electronics Manufacturing Service Providers
As OEMs increasingly outsource their design operations, the competition between EMS providers and original design manufacturers (ODMs) has intensified. "ODMs have the advantage of superior design skills, when compared to EMS providers, and are slowly expanding to include manufacturing and logistic operations as well," notes the analyst. "ODMs are gradually eating into EMS providers’ share within the telecom industry, as OEMs are beginning to choose ODMs as their strategic partners."
However, this competition is not likely to pose an immediate threat to EMS providers. This is because ODMs do not currently have vertical expertise or the experience required to cater to the telecom industry, and they tend to focus on the PC and notebook industries. Besides, EMS providers have been investing substantially in resources to increase their in-house design capabilities to fulfill the design requirements of their OEMs. Once ODMs strengthen their position within the telecom industry, the competition is anticipated to amplify.
