Global 3C Electronics Market Dynamics

Drivers: Rising Digitalization

The Electronics Market encompassing Computers & Peripherals, Communication Equipment & Consumer Electronics is a growing market and has been defined by advanced technology and shifting consumer trends. Mobile devices include smart phones, laptops and tablets, wearable devices and smart home devices, all benefiting from digitalisation, remote working and development and growth of IoT. The market has had sound innovation cycles, and the manufacturers incorporate other features such as voice assistant, 5G connectivity, and energy-efficient backlines. Therefore, Asia-Pacific region is found to dominate the market in term of production and consumption as backed by China, South Korea and Japan. Such threats annually are getting bigger and are hard to mitigate, for example supply chain disruption, chip shortages, and high levels of competition. However, systems and applications towards sustainable electronics and the increased tendency for refurbished devices are the emerging concerns. The main focus being affordable, competitive, and versatile, the 3C Electronics Market remains the major source of innovation for consumer’s global living standards. 

Challenges: Supply Chain Disruptions

Disruption in the supply chain has emerged as one of the key issues faced by the 3C Electronics Market due to the cut-off in chip production and subsequent distribution congestions. There has been cancelation of production schedules due to scarcity of semiconductors, as the demand has increased across the automotive, health sector and consumer electronics industries. This is compounded by the political instability combined with trade regulations and the fact that a large supply of semiconductors is produced in specific regions, for example, East Asia. New constraints include shipping woes, increasing costs of transportation, and congestions, which stifle supply chains to harm delivery of parts and goods. These disruptions affect manufactures in their ability to satisfy consumers’ demand, resulting in scarcity, high prices and extended delivery times. Lower on the industry food chain, the risks are even higher because the small players lack bargaining power both with clients and suppliers while their inventory management capabilities are more limited. Solving these issues requires building the capacities for local production, establishing relations with other complementary supply chains, and working together to develop more supply chain tolerant world.
