The worldwide electronics assembly market is substantial in size, consisting of approximately $1.45 trillion dollars in terms of cost of goods sold (COGS) as of 2021. The OEM market has nearly recovered from the disruption of COVID-19—experiencing a positive increase in revenue of 2.9% in 2021 and nearly 15% in growth by contract manufacturing service firms. Forecasts through 2026 are expected to be strong for smartphones, automotive self-driving/guidance, large-screen digital TVs, and medical diagnostic and monitoring technology.

The table below summarizes electronic assembly production value, both outsourced and performed in-house, during 2021 by market segment. The same data is available by region (Americas, EMEA, and APAC), and by OEM company. Nearly 390 OEM companies were profiled.
