Furthermore, Asia Pacific has been an irreplaceable electronic production hub for almost a decade owing to low labor cost and this factor has played a pivotal role in the dominance of the region over the past few years.

However, in recent times, with a rise in labor cost in the region, several countries such as China and other Southeast Asian countries are focusing on re-inventing themselves as manufacturers of complex products. For instance, Vietnam is projected to emerge as the next hub of electronics component production owing to funds offered by giants such as Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics, which has increased the country’s prominence in this supply chain. All these factors are poised to augment the regional market.

In 2016, APAC was followed by the North America market. Proliferation of smart devices and surging demand for green component manufacturing are likely to stoke the growth of the regional market. Furthermore, the booming telecom industry in the region is providing a boost to the market in the region.
