Consumer Electronics Manufacturing in Europe industry analysis

Demand for consumer electronics in Europe is largely met by imports from Asia, particularly China, due to the enormous production capacities and efficient supply chains. European production has to contend with higher labour costs, which makes it less competitive than Asian production. Japan and South Korea are leaders in this industry and focus on innovative R&D to produce high-quality, state-of-the-art consumer electronics. Over the five years through 2024, revenue is expected to rise at an annual rate of 0.1% to €24.0 billion. Profit has also risen despite intense competition from manufacturers in Asia.
