Electronic Contract Manufacturing Services: A Global Strategic Business Report

San Jose, California (PRWEB) November 11, 2008

Electronic Contract Manufacturing Services (EMS) as well as Original Design Manufacture (ODM) are among the most rapidly growing industries in the electronic assembling arena. Low-cost countries in Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Eastern Europe have emerged as leading outsourcing hotspots. Further, EMS companies broadened the spectrum of services they offer -- from simple manufacturing of components, to more complex manufacturing services, leading to a growing number of OEMs outsourcing an increasing portion of their manufacturing. With ever-increasing exposure to non-traditional end-use markets such as medical, industrial, aerospace, and defense, that are swiftly embracing outsourcing strategy, EMS offers lucrative potential in terms of future opportunities.
