Electronic manufacturing: Long runway of growth
We participated in the CII electronics summit to understand the: 1) investment
opportunity in the electronics and semiconductor market, 2) opportunities and
challenges in component manufacturing, 3) scope of growth in automotive
electronics, 4) capital market landscape of electronics manufacturing, and 5)
emerging technologies. Various companies are already working on component
manufacturing and expect support from the government in terms of favorable
policies on components. Our interaction with most players on mid- and small-sized
component manufacturers indicates that the investment climate is quite positive
and the sector is in for long-term sustainable growth across electronics and
components. We remain positive on the EMS sector.
OUR RECENT REPORTS
Large addressable market for electronics
The total electronics production in India is expected to clock a CAGR of 26% from
CY23-30, reaching USD500b (finished goods USD350b and components USD150b).
India is positioned to become a preferred manufacturing destination for investments
seeking a credible and sustainable environment. Over the years, India has witnessed
an increase in product assembly activities, led by unprecedented demand in EMS
activities in the mobile phones, automotive, industrial, and telecom segments. A
range of components is required to meet the increased demand for EMS finished
goods. These components have common uses across user products and offer 10%-
40% value-addition opportunities. These priority components and PCBAs are
expected to reach USD139b by CY30. According to Niti Aayog, India must focus on six
core areas to boost electronics manufacturing: 1) developing a component
manufacturing ecosystem, 2) addressing scale and complexity in components, 3)
fostering R&D and design capabilities, 4) improving infrastructure, 5) optimizing duty
structures, and 6) enhancing the ease of doing business. This multi-pronged strategy
will ensure sustainable growth for electronic manufacturing and global
competitiveness.

Our interaction with companies present at the summit indicates that several
component players are witnessing strong demand momentum, such as those
specializing in capacitors, Gorilla glass (used in many flagship smartphones),
cameras, material engineering solutions, other passive electronic components, and
those working on automotive electronics. The industry is also expecting some
incentives or a PLI policy on components. Some high-priority components, such as
cameras, batteries, displays, enclosures, PCB, and PCBA, are currently heavily
imported and require a big push in the form of fiscal support to offset the cost
disability. Among our coverage companies, Dixon has already increased the ODM
share across segments and is now setting up a display manufacturing facility. Amber
is expanding the capacity of Ascent Circuits, which is engaged in PCB manufacturing.
