January 23, 2024 | Globe NewswireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

The telecom electronics manufacturing services (EMS) market is set to witness significant expansion, bolstered by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.41% from 2021 to 2028. The market value is predicted to ascend from US$206.202 billion to US$318.622 billion by the end of the forecast period.
