Understanding consumer contract electronics services

The electronics industry is quite broad and encompasses many different products and sub-industries. However, in general, the consumer electronics market is often considered to be one of the most price-sensitive markets within the electronics industry. This is because consumers have a wide range of options to choose from, and many products have similar features and capabilities, so price can be a major factor in the purchasing decision.

Examples of consumer electronics products that are considered to be price-sensitive include smartphones, laptops, and televisions. These products are often sold at a wide range of price points, and consumers are often willing to shop around to find the best deal.

Additionally, markets such as China and India are considered highly price sensitive in the electronics industry, due to the high level of competition among manufacturers and retailers and the relatively low purchasing power of consumers.

Trends in consumer electronics manufacturing

  • Miniaturization and compact design
  • Increased use of automation and robotics
  • Development of new materials and manufacturing techniques
  • Increased focus on sustainability and environmentally-friendly production methods
  • Greater integration of internet connectivity and smart features
  • Development of virtual and augmented reality technology
  • Increasing demand for products that support the Internet of Things (IoT)
  • Shift towards flexible and foldable electronic devices
  • Emergence of 5G technology in electronic devices
  • Development of AI-powered devices.

Electronics solutions providers offering services for consumer electronics products are typically thought of as high-volume, low-mix contract electronic service providers. Think of products with an electronics circuit board used by people in their everyday lives: smartphones, LED lamps, fitness trackers, virtual reality (VR) headsets, tablets, headphones, consumer devices connected to the cloud, and so on …its a massive category of electronics.

Given price sensitivity of many consumer electronics as manufacturer compete, there is constant pressure by customers of consumer electronics services providers to increase the efficiency of the contract manufacturing factory environment and supply chain ecosystem to lower costs so consumers pay less.

One of the key areas of cost reductions highlighted for many consumer electronics programs is the reduction of labor costs in work cell assembly stations and factory-level production manufacturing, from surface mount technology (SMT) and sub-components to systems integration with increased automation.

Existing technologies that have already been developed in consumer electronics assembly and manufacturing can further develop and provide substantially more benefits. In addition, further standardization in some consumer markets will also increase manufacturing efficiency and cut waste.

To this end, selecting suitable consumer contract electronics partners and applying effective program management cannot be emphasized enough.

Unlike market sectors such as medical, automotive or military electronics, to name a few – requiring a high degree of quality compliance/regulation – the design, manufacturing and distribution supply chain for most consumer electronics products is less so.

The future of consumer electronics

As many home and personal consumer electronics devices and equipment get smaller, microelectronics allowing devices with smaller footprints – and more features and greater functionality – become more important to OEM brand manufacturers like Apple and GE, and consumers. In the consumer electronics supply chain, the semiconductor industry’s strength lies in microelectronics design and manufacturing to feed consumer electronics evolution.

Kondratiev’s theory is that Western capitalist economies have long term 50-60-year cycles of boom followed by depression. Below, note mobile networks, iPhone, personal computing, nanotechnology, machine learning, to name few. Given the United States as the world’s chief consumer, manufacturers everywhere have given Kondratiev’s theory more attention.

The fast-advancing capabilities in technology are already playing out as we see manufacturing factories automating large portions of the manufacturing cycle – and our lives. This is resulting in greater productivity gains and a return to re-shoring and localized manufacturing – which has been taking place.
