Any time the words 'global economic downturn' become frequent headlines, the EMS industry will be impacted.
Any time the words "global economic downturn" become frequent headlines, the EMS industry will be impacted. However, assessing the degree of that impact can be difficult, because the EMS industry is a collection of subgroups that cluster around revenue, geographic focus, OEM industry niches, technologies and services. For example, Tier One EMS companies concentrated on consumer electronics are likely to be impacted more in the current recession than mid-tier EMS providers focused primarily on medical or defense electronics. Rather than speculate on industry growth or shrinkage as whole, it makes better sense to look at general trends that influence the industry and think forward rather than look back.
