[Research Report] The electronic contract assembly market is expected to grow from US$ 142,795.06 million in 2022 to US$ 251,637.62 million by 2028; it is anticipated to register a CAGR of 10.3% from 2023 to 2028.

The increasing demand for functionalities such as sub-assembly manufacturing, functional testing, and component assembly from various manufacturers is likely to boost the electronic contract assembly market growth during the forecast period. Implementation of advanced technologies by service providers and expansion of their manufacturing capacities are also expected to contribute to electronic contract assembly market growth in the coming years. Rising purchasing power of consumers and growing demand for electronics will also fuel market growth in the future. There is an emerging trend among service providers to invest heavily in research and development activities and adopt advanced technologies to improve their manufacturing capacity and strengthen their market position. According to the Consumer Electronics and Appliances Manufacturers Association (CEAMA), the appliances & consumer electronics industry in India is anticipated to report significant growth by 2026 with an estimated market size increase of more than two-fold, reaching a value of up to US$ 26.81 billion. This industry valuation is expected to create new business opportunities, attract investments, and stimulate economic growth in the country. Growth in the electronic contract assembly market opportunities can be created for its end users such as Apple and IBM to manufacture their components.

The rising consumption of consumer electronics, computing technology, data storage technology, and wireless devices is contributing to the semiconductor industry's growth. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), in the second half of 2022, global semiconductor sales were valued at US$ 574 billion, a 3.3% increase over 2021 sales. Semiconductors play an essential role in a wide range of products across all segments of the global economy as a key technology enabler. As a result, various governments are focusing on enhancing their semiconductor production capabilities. For instance, in December 2021, the Indian government announced a US$ 10 billion incentive plan to boost the semiconductor chip manufacturing of the country. The government offered support of up to 50% of the project cost to eligible companies under this incentive plan. Such government initiatives are attracting global market players to expand their manufacturing facilities in India. For instance, in September 2022, Foxconn, a Taiwanese multinational electronics contract manufacturer, and Vedanta, a local conglomerate of India, announced a US$ 19.5 billion investment to set up a semiconductor and display production facility in India. Thus, the growing semiconductor industry is contributing to the growth and different electronic contract assembly market opportunities.
