Telecom EMS Market Poised for Growth with Increasing 5G Adoption and High Internet Penetration
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. This growth trajectory is largely attributed to the escalating demand for smartphones, burgeoning internet services, and an uptrend in smart electronic gadgets.
5G Rollout Catalyzing EMS Industry Growth
The forthcoming widespread rollout of 5G technology presents numerous opportunities for the telecom EMS market, characterized by a variety of advantages, such as enhanced mobile broadband, ultra-reliable, low latency communications, and massive machine-type communication capabilities. A robust increase in the number of 5G subscriptions is anticipated to burgeon, which in turn, propels the demand for electronic manufacturing services in the telecom sector.
Investments aimed at enhancing 5G technology test systems are a critical component of the market’s growth, as prominent players strive to bolster their competitive stance. Innovations in interface and component technologies, necessary to accommodate the higher frequency spectrum utilized by 5G, further stimulate market expansion.
