| Contract Equipment Manufacturers | Market Research Report | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract Contract Equipment Manufacturing continues to maintain a comparative advantage in the electronics industry. It is driven by commoditization, specialization, and economies of scale: if all inputs are doubled, output more than doubles. The contract equipment manufacturers are coming out of a challenging recession, but the future is beginning to look bright again. More original equipment manufacturers are indicating plans to outsource, license technology, and move capacity and resources toward the outsourced-manufacturing and outsourced-supply-chain management model. This new model would infuse the semiconductor industry with a progressive supply chain, where new roles and relationships would need to be cultivated and fostered in order for players to stay competitive. Contract equipment vendors are becoming increasingly responsible for the procurement of semiconductors along with the other items in a bill of materials. Due to an expanding role in the supply chain, the contract equipment manufacturer is becoming an increasingly important customer base to the semiconductor suppliers.
