Study of the EMS industry

Together with a market research institute, we surveyed 570 companies and electronics manufacturing service providers (EMS) in Europe about the future of the electronics industry. Topics included opportunities and challenges for the EMS industry over the next 5 years, how to deal with the materials crisis and the associated loss of sales, and the European Chips Act. We formed three topic clusters from the study, which we split into three campaigns to get the maximum effect out of them.

The results were prepared for both the press and social media - with a super response in the trade press and strong engagement in the form of shares and discussions under the article.
