Europe and the United States into the largest supplier of electronic components

The "2011 China Electronics Manufacturers Procurement Behavior Survey Report" conducted by the China Electronics Show Organizing Committee and CNT Networks, etc., was recently released in Shenzhen. The survey shows that the procurement of Chinese electronics manufacturers is moving toward rationality. The Japanese earthquake at the beginning of the year has tilted component procurement to Europe, the United States, South Korea, Taiwan, China, etc. The Japanese brand supply ratio has increased by 24.8% before the earthquake. To 15.9%, Europe and the United States surpassed Japan as the source of the largest supplier of components.

The survey lasted for more than 2 months, and 1560 valid questionnaires were screened out. The survey participants were the decision-makers involved in the purchase of electronic whole machine manufacturers and design companies. The survey found that the new type of supply and demand partnership is moving from human-oriented to professional. At the same time, the proportion of suppliers who have participated in product design and cost analysis early has increased significantly from 49.7% in 2010 to 72%.

The survey found that the average proportion of imported components purchased since 2011 was 58.6%, a slight increase from the same period in 2010. In addition to consumer electronics, manufacturers in emerging markets, such as industrial security, display lighting and automotive electronics, have become the main buyers of imported components.
