Trend
EMS companies benefit significantly from the growing trend of outsourcing manufacturing in the electronics and other industries. This practice involves OEMs relying on EMS providers to produce their products instead of using in-house manufacturing resources.
Over time, OEMs have expanded their reliance on EMS companies. These providers now offer end-to-end services, including product design, engineering, and manufacturing. Additionally, they handle high-level assembly, testing, direct order fulfillment, and logistics. Their services also cover after-sales support and global supply chain management, meeting the evolving needs of OEMs.
