Current Scenario of Electronic Components segment in India

In recent years the electronic industry is growing at a brisk pace. The demand in the Indian market is expected to touch $400 billion by 2020. The largest export segment is of components.

Growth Drivers

Behind the impressive growth of the electronics industry is the robust and consistent growth in Electronic Hardware market of approximately 25 per cent due to a stable economy & large middle class of 350 million people.

Production Trend

The components with major share in the export are CD-R, CPTs, PCBs, DVD-R, connectors, semiconductor devices, ferrites, resistors, etc.

The serviceable market for professional grade components such as PCBs is likely to go up due to launch of manufacture of mobile handsets in the country. In such a scenario, job opportunities for Automated Optical Inspection Operators is expected to grow.

Automated optical inspection equipment manufacturers and plants across India

Maximum numbers of job opportunities are available in Bengaluru, Pune, Delhi, Hyderabad and Chennai and other metro cities.
