Electronics manufacturing
services (EMS) include design, manufacturing, testing, distribution and
return/repair services for electronic components and assemblies carried out for
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
EMS companies operate under two broad models:
Mix refers generally to the
complexity or different models of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) assembly.
Volume refers to the number of units built, with products like consumer
electronics on the high end and prototype, medical electronics or machinery on
the low end.
The global EMS industry has grown rapidly
over the last 15-20 years as it has expanded the scope of its activities for
the Electronic Systems Design & Manufacturing (ESDM) sector. From a small
share of 10-15% in the ESDM industry, EMS now straddles more than 40-45% by
value.
