LYON, FRANCE: Yole Développement is distributing the “World Electronic Industries 2008–2013” report.

Yole already diversified its reports offer with the distribution of Chipworks (product teardown report, circuit/process/functional analysis) reports in Europe and those of System Plus Consulting (MEMS reverse costing). With the distribution of DECISION's best-seller, the French consulting company, Yole Développement completes its reports portfolio and enlarges its offer range through this exhaustive report covering the worldwide electronic markets.

A new edition of “World Electronic Industries 2008-2013”, the main changes
With a high level of innovation, the industry is defined by its ability to create new markets.DECISION has added new markets compared to the previous edition like solid-state lighting (including “green” lighting, LED lamps, electronic ballasts) and energy with photovoltaic panels.

For telecom networks, it became essential to distinguish major opportunities and technologies to monitor the pace of investments between fixed and mobile networks, market operators, and private networks for businesses. For medical electronics, the main market, imaging, now only represents half of the market, thus it became necessary to distinguish and present figures about cardiac implants and medical supplies in detail, for instance.

DECISION, a real expertise of the electronic sector
DECISION proceeds by accumulation of knowledge and a lot of expertise. Industrialists, politicians, and consumers make the selection and DECISION anticipates the risk of their ability to evolve and gives guidance on the necessary impetus ... on the drivers of change. This database has existed for almost fifteen years. The company started with a European focus and extended it year by year, it now covers the world.

The evolution of the different segments from Electronics sector, according to DECISION
The current crisis has reversed the outlook. “The real question today is no longer the trend and how many mobile phones will be sold in 2013, but where will we be in six months!” explains David Enu, Senior Consultant, DECISION. The answer is sadly simple: the electronics industry will experience a major decline in 2009 of up to -10 percent.

Starting in US households, the crisis directly affects all consumer segments for which the US is the largest market. In parallel, sales of cars full of electronics are also affected by the lack of credit. The crisis is global, affecting the automotive and household equipment and the construction and manufacturing equipment. Then Europe is being stricken for the first time. The Asian industry, the most dynamic market for European goods, is a second shock for Europeans. In turn, European households will reduce their expenses, etc.

Overall price pressures will be terrible after one or two quarters, some will disappear. Cautious and anticipating crisis effects, the Japanese idled a third of their factories! Very few players will be spared. Audio Video: -7.1 percent, Appliances: -2.5 percent, Computer: -9.8 percent, Telecoms: -7.5 percent, Aerospace-Defense: +4.5 percent, Automotive: -14.7 percent, Industrial: -3.7 percent. Total: -6.8 percent.

Some of the products: TVs: -10.9 percent, PCs: -11.6 percent, Cell phones: -11.2 percent, ESP: -23.6 percent

The long-term consequences are huge: the outlook for the electronics industry is to reach the level of GDP growth whereas some years ago the growth of the electronic industry was increasing two times faster than the GDP one!

The average annual growth between 2008 and 2013 should not exceed 3 percent per year. This of course means that the crisis ends in late 2009 and, after a mixed year 2010, the growth rate will rebound to 6 percent per year in 2011, 2012 and 2013. It is what DECISION study deals with!
