Business Environment |

The electronics industry covers an array of products and components, which includes semiconductors and passive/electromechanical products and systems, computer components, portable power supplies such as batteries and related products. The electronics industry is one of the largest industries in the United States and is growing. According to the Freedonia Group, a leading international market research firm, the global market for batteries, non-rechargeable as well as rechargeable, is estimated at $50 billion and is projected to increase 6.5% annually through 2008 to $65.1 billion. According to a recent article in the New York Times, portable rechargeable batteries are expected to be a $6.2 billion market this year and more than one billion batteries will be manufactured by some of the largest electronics companies in the world such as Sony, Sanyo, Matsushita and Samsung.
Supply chain managers have become an integral part of the electronics industry. OEMs and many small contract electronic manufacturers that use electronic components choose to outsource their procurement, inventory and materials management processes to third parties in order to concentrate their resources, including management, personnel costs and capital investment, on their core competencies, which include product development and sales and marketing. Many large distribution companies not only fill these procurement and materials management roles but further serve as a single supply source for original equipment manufacturers and contract electronic manufacturers and retailers, offering a much broader line of products, rapid or scheduled deliveries, incremental quality control measures and more support and supply chain management services than individual electronic component manufacturers.
