Labour rates in Eastern Europe may not be as low as in China; however, the relatively lower labour rates compared with Western Europe are counterbalanced by potential savings in freight costs, inventory and reduced time to market.
This briefing is based upon ongoing Electronics Manufacturing market analysis.
The report provides an insight into the dynamics guiding this market, and includes market challenges, drivers, restraints and avenues of opportunity for growth.
The purpose of this research is to gain a deeper understanding of Electronics Manufacturing Industry and its market revenue value.
Highlights of the briefing include: revenue analysis of EMS industry in Eastern Europe, factors driving the growth in Eastern Europe, end-user analysis and country snapshot.
This briefing will benefit EMS providers, SMT equipment suppliers, OEM's, ODM's and distributors.
"The dominance of Eastern Europe in electronic manufacturing is mainly attributed to the availability of low cost, highly skilled labour.
Countries such as Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic have well-established manufacturing facilities.
However, the development of their economies is steadily eroding their low-cost credentials," says Santosh Kumar P, Industry Analyst for Frost and Sullivan's Electronics and Security group.
Frost and Sullivan will hold this conference call at 15.00 BST on Wednesday 19 September 2007, which will provide industry participants with an outlook on the Electronics Manufacturing Market.
