Opportunities and risks in the EMS industry
Dieter G. Weiss, in4ma
Panic in the electronics industry and chip crisis? Dieter G. Weiss listens to voices in the EMS industry who have filled their warehouses in a phase of 'mass hysteria'. In response, distributors have introduced the NCNR rule, which has led to the problem of high RHB inventories in addition to the decline in sales in 2024. Questions about the current market potential and the future of the EMS industry are discussed.
