Performance Highlight
Opportunity Size
The total addressable EMS market in India was valued at ₹ 2,654 billion (USD 36 billion) in Fiscal 2021, and is expected to grow to ₹ 9,963 billion (USD 135 billion) in Fiscal 2026 with a CAGR of 30.3%. However, the contribution of Indian EMS companies is around
40%, which is valued at ₹ 1,069 billion (USD 14 billion) in Fiscal 2021, which is expected to grow at 41.1% CAGR to reach ₹ 5,978 billion (USD 81 billion) by Fiscal 2026.
The expansion of India’s EMS industry is fuelled by a variety of factors, including an increase in consumer electronics and appliances consumption as well as lighting segment. Other significant reasons driving the growth are raising labour costs in other parts of the world and a trend among large OEMs to outsource manufacturing rather than invest in their own infrastructure. Due to the size, complexity, and high level of competition in the Indian market, OEMs are focusing more on marketing and aftermarket activities, leaving the production to contract manufacturers. EMS companies are better positioned to adapt to frequent technology changes, and economies of scale allow for stringer pricing negotiations with raw material suppliers.
Most brands prefer engaging EMS partners for contract manufacturing, but the ODM model is slowly gaining traction in India, where brands collaborate with ODMs on product development. Many EMS players are gradually expanding to provide complete design services in addition to contract manufacturing/ original equipment manufacturing. Embracing ODM model of partnership with EMS partners coupled with venturing into new product segments is propelling OEMs to pursue EMS engagement. High volumes will influence EMS/ODM to bring in the component ecosystem locally and enhance domestic capabilities of component sourcing thus making the electronics ecosystem stronger.
