Advancing incorporation of components and chips creates challenges for testing facilities

As the assimilation of electronic components and chips progresses many engineers, at testing facilities all over the world, are finding it more and more difficult to perform comprehensive inspections of parts and products. Electronic component testing practices, having been relatively straightforward in the past, are being forced to evolve and advance to keep up with the modern industry trends.

As a result, it has become increasingly imperative that chip and components manufacturers and distributors foster trusting relationships with their testing partners in order to ensure testing procedures are up-to-date and all-inclusive.

Scarcity of "hitchhiker" metals impedes advancements in the Electronics Industry

Demand for "hitchhiker" metals, such as gallium, indium and selenium, is rapidly increasing as more and more electronics-based companies realize their potential to aid in the development of major technological inventions.
However, as these rare materials are primarily obtained from the mining efforts of other key manufacturing metals, like aluminum, their availability and supply is inconsistent and limited.

As a result, growth and expansion of global electronics capabilities may be some what slow-moving with regards to these uncommon natural resources.

Electrical Contract Manufacturers Expect Revenue to Decrease in 2012


According to an IHS iSuppli EMS & ODM Market Brief report, due to increasing global economic unrest, revenue for electronics contract manufacturers is expected to decline in 2012.  Analysts project that the revenue decrease for the industry as a whole will be less than 1 percent compared to last years 4 percent increase. 
Electronic manufacturing services (EMS) and original developing manufacturing (ODM) sectors are forecasted specifically to experience obstacles in their 2012 revenue generation. Growth for EMS is likely to remain stagnant, while growth for ODM is expected to contract by 2.3 percent.
