Yearbook of World Electronics Data Volume 1 2020 – An Overview of

Electronics Production & Markets in Western Europe Introduction

Since the first edition of the Yearbook of World Electronics Data was published in 1973 the West European and

broader global electronics industry has experienced a series of major downturns, the last the global financial

crisis in 2008/2009. However, unlike the financial crisis which was primarily driven by stagnating consumer

demand COVID-19 has resulted in not only a shock to global demand but also supply. Although the electronics

industry will recover, at this point the actual timing remains uncertain and will depend on the control of the spread

of the virus.

In providing the forecasts for the current study, which were made at the end of April/beginning of May, we have

assumed that the major impact of the pandemic will occur in the second quarter of 2020, and then gain some

momentum over the course of the final quarter of the year. Although not “V” shaped we expect growth to recover

in 2021 before moderating slightly in 2022 and 2023.

In Euro’s the production of electronic equipment in Western Europe declined by 0.3% in 2019 to Euro 119.9

billion and compared to an increase of 1.8% in the prior year and a decline of 2.4% in 2017.

Based on current indicators we are forecasting that growth in electronic equipment output in Western Europe will

decline by 8.8% in 2020, post growth of 4.1% in 2021 and then ease to 3.7% and 3.6% in 2022 and 2023.

However, if the pandemic extends through into the second half of the year it will lead to a more substantial

decline in 2020 that would carry over into 2021 and delay the rebound to the later part of the year or into the first

months of 2022.

Electronics Equipment Production by Country/Region 2016-2023

The industrial segment which accounted for an estimated 60.1% of electronics equipment output in 2019 will be

the main driver of growth after demand recovers from the COVID-19 led-recession. By the end of the forecast

period its share of the total will account for 61.8%. Growth in the communications segment is forecast to decline

by 5.8% in 2020. Upgrades to support increased demand for data and support home working, in particular in the

first half of the year, is expected to be offset by lower capex by operators and a delay in the roll-out of 5G.

Defence spending is expected to be maintained through the pandemic although budgets could be reduced in the

later part of the forecast as governments look to reduce the deficit arising from measures introduced to support

the economy through the crisis. In contrast, the aerospace segment will, in the short-term be hit hard by the

collapse in the commercial aviation sector. Computer output will continue to decline over the forecast period as

will the production of video and audio equipment.

Germany accounted for 32.4% of electronics equipment output in 2019 and its overall share, despite the

downturns in 2019 and 2020, is still expected to edge up over the period to 2023. France and the UK which are

traditionally strong in communications will like the majority of countries also benefit from the growth in the

industrial segment in the later part of the forecast.

In 2019, the production of electronic components in Western Europe amounted to Euro 39.3 billion, 24.7% of

overall electronics production, output declining by 1.7% as demand weakened during the second half of the year.

Output is forecast to decline by 7.4% in 2020 but as with other sectors of the industry significant downside risks

could push output lower in 2020/2021.

Of the total in 2019, active components accounted for 56.4%, passive 35.6% and other 8.0% while Germany

accounted for the largest share of production at 33.9%, followed by France 15.7%, Ireland 11.0%, Italy 9.9% and

the UK 7.8%.

3.6 Germany 3.6.1 Economic Overview

Growth in the German economy fell to 0.6% in 2019, down from 1.5% in 2018 and significantly lower

than the 2.5% rate in 2017. The impact of the US-China trade war on Germany’s export-orientated

economy, uncertainty surrounding Brexit and declining output in the key automotive sector all

contributed to slower economic activity during the year.

Prospects for a recovery in 2020 were abruptly ended with the global escalation of the coronavirus

pandemic. Despite the sharp contraction in the first quarter, as measures were introduced to halt the

spread of COVID-19, the full economic fall-out is expected in the second quarter of 2020. Business and

consumer confidence plummeted in April, and with the prospects that it will fall further in May, additional

pressure is expected to be placed on the already fragile outlook. Despite the signs of a gradual recovery

in China the external environment in general remains weak globally and is not expected to be supportive

to growth until the later part of 2020.

In its April 2020 World Economic Outlook (WEO) the International Monetary Fund (IMF) lowered its

projections for the German economy and now expects GDP to decline by 7.0% in 2020, before

rebounding by 5.2% in 2021.

The IMF expects the growth in consumer prices to ease to 0.3% in 2020, down from 1.3% a year earlier,

before rising to 1.2% in 2021. The organisation also expects the unemployment rate, which had tracked

down from 5.4% in 2012 to 3.2% in 2019, to rise to 3.9% in 2020 before easing to 3.5% in 2021.

3.6.2 Electronics Industry Overview

According to Eurostat there were 6,813 enterprises in Germany operating in the computer, electronic

and optical segment (NACE C26) in 2018 of which 2,413 focused on instruments for measuring, testing

and navigation and watches and clocks, 1,772 on electronic components and boards, 717 on

communications equipment, 811 on computers and peripherals, 256 on medical and the remainder

across other sectors. In addition, there were 176 enterprises focused on air and spacecraft and related

machinery and 202 (2017) on electrical and electronic components for motor vehicles.

Although Germany is home to some of the largest electronic groups in Europe small and medium-sized

companies, which are often privately-owned, play an important role in the country’s electronics industry.

More importantly, they will play a significant role in the future, in particular as the larger OEMs and EMS

providers look to take advantage of lower cost locations and manufacture in the market/region of

consumption.

Germany is a key export market for the majority of European countries and as such events in Germany

will play a pivotal role in the outlook for the European electronics industry.

The automotive industry is a major driver of the German economy and in turn will have a major influence

on the broader electronics industry. Although increasing electronics content has helped offset the recent

decline in domestic and global production the impact of COVID-19 will see a more pronounced fall in the

automotive electronics market this year which is only expected to show a gradual recovery during the

course of 2021. In the medium- to longer-term, driven by the move to electrify vehicles, advanced safety

and the move to autonomous driving and increased connectivity will help accelerate the demand for

automotive systems and components in the period to 2023.

Germany, with some of the worlds most recognized suppliers – Bosch, Continental and ZF – as well as

numerous other players across the both the automotive and broader electronics supply chain should be

well positioned to take advantage of both existing and new opportunities over the later part of the

forecast period.

After growth of 4.8% in 2017 and a more modest 2.2% in 2017 electronics output posted a decline of

3.7% in 2019 as demand in key export markets weakened during the year and the domestic economy

eased. The prospects of a return to growth in 2020 have been short-lived as the coronavirus outbreak,

which was initially seen as disruption to the supply chain in China, escalated to a global pandemic. As a

result, overall electronics production is now forecast to decline by 10.3% with significant downside risks

to the outlook.

Germany’s electronics industry is dominated by industrial electronics and in particular control and

instrumentation. After posting growth of 6.9% in 2017 growth eased to 3.9% in 2018 before declining by

4.6% in 2019 on the back of falling exports and weaker domestic demand, most notably from the

automotive sector, but also across other manufacturing industries. In 2020, output is expected to post a

double-digit decline as COVID-19 impacts both domestic and global markets.

Medical electronics output, after declining in both 2016 and 2017, posted a modest increase of 1.8% in

2018 and a more substantial rise of 5.1% in 2019. COVID-19 will lead to opportunities for the medical

sector in 2020, especially for equipment essential to the treatment of the virus. At the same time,

demand for other equipment will be more modest or even decline. As a result, growth in output is

expected to ease to 3.0% for the year as a whole.

The production of radio communications equipment (including defence) increased by 4.9% in 2019 with

growth centred on radar and navigational aids. Assuming the main impact of COVID-19 is limited to the

first half of 2020 output is forecast to decline by 7.0% in 2020.

The production of telecommunications equipment has declined since 2016, output falling by an

estimated 9.2% in 2019 and compared to 7.7% in the prior year. Although the sector will benefit from on-

going investment by operators and companies in ensuring that networks are maintained, it is not

expected that it will be sufficient to stop output declining by a further 6.0% in 2020.

The announcement by Fujitsu in the final quarter of 2018 that it planned to close the remaining volume

production plant in Germany by 2020 is expected to lead to double-digit decline in computer production

in 2020. The site in Augsburg produced 2.3 million units in the year to 3.1 March 2018.

Production of consumer electronics equipment accounted for 1.7% of electronics output in 2019. The

production of TVs focuses, primarily through Loewe, on high-end products however, in value terms,

output has been in decline since 2017. Through its partnership with the Chinese company Hisense it is

expected that Loewe will look to focus on utilising low-cost sites.

The production of car audio has declined year on year since 2014 a trend which is expected to continue

over the forecast period.

Components accounted for 25.5% of electronics output in 2019. The production of active components

declined by 4.2% in 2019 and compared to a fall of 2.6% in the prior year. The production of discrete

semiconductors, excluding photocells declined by 3.1% in-line with the overall weaker market. In

contrast, the production of photocells increased by 6.1% on the back of stronger growth for solar

although it remains significantly lower than 2016 when output topped Euro 1.0 billion. Once a major

player globally the German photovoltaic industry has undergone a major restructuring in recent years in

the face of increased competition from Chinese manufacturers.

Following a modest increase of 0.6% in 2008, the production of ICs declined by 7.3% in response to

weaker demand both domestically and also in key export markets. In 2020, the production of active

components is forecast to decline by a further 8.5%, in line with generally weaker end-demand as a

result of the global pandemic.

In 2019, connectors accounted for 58.3% of passive component production but declined by 3.1% as

demand weakened over the course of the year. Reflecting the general slowdown in electronics

equipment output and the slowdown in automotive production overall passive component production

declined by 4.9% during the year.

Although PCB production is now primarily undertaken in Asia there are still a number of small and

medium-sized manufacturers in the country with the focus on serving the industrial and automotive

markets. After increasing by 5.6% and 6.3% in 2017 and 2018, respectively growth posted a double-digit

decline in 2019 primarily due to the negative developments in the industrial and automotive markets

impacting demand.

Despite being the leading country in terms of revenues there are surprisingly only two German

companies within the Top 20 European EMS providers in 2018, Zollner ranked 4th and the BMK Group

(20th). A further nine companies are in the Top 50 in 2018: TQ-Group (22nd), Katek (25th), Leesys (27th),

Prettl Electronics (34th), Turck duotec (36th), Tonfunk (39th), RAFI (41st), Sero (45th), bebro Electronic

(since acquired by Katek) (47th) and Manufacturing, Logistics and Services (49th). There are however a

large number of small and medium sized companies serving the market.

Reflecting its importance of the German market a number of European companies are targeting

Germany through acquisition including France’s Asteelflash and éolane, the Finnish company Scanfil,

the Dutch company Neways and HANZA of Sweden or through the establishment of local sales offices.

Due to computer rounding the summary figures above may differ slightly from the figures presented in the main tables.

Over the period to 2023 the German electronics industry will continue to be centred on industrial

applications and automotive, this despite falling demand in 2019 and the impacts of COVID-19 in 2020.

Growth is expected to gradually pick-up during 2021 and then accelerate over the forecast period.

Germany’s focus on Industry 4.0 and growth in IoT applications is expected to support growth in both in

both fixed and wireless communications with growth gaining momentum across the forecast period.

In contrast, output in the computing and consumer segments will continue to decline with increased

competition from low-cost suppliers.

Despite facing increased competition, especially for commodity products, the components segment is

expected to recover from the slowdown in 2019/2020 and post low single-digit growth over the forecast

period. Recent investments in semiconductor manufacturing capacity in the country will support growth.

Although many companies will continue to build on the strategy of “Made in Germany” it is expected that

over the period to 2023 an increasing number of OEMs and EMS companies will look at utilising low-

cost sites or relocate production to be closer to key emerging markets.
