Foreword

Sugandh RajaramConsul General of India

MunichI am pleased to present this important report on “Electronic Sector:

Opportunities for Bilateral Co-operation.

In the next few years, demand for electronic products in India is poised for a significant growth, driven by a strong economic outlook. The Indian electronics market grew by 8.6% YoY to reach US$75 billion in 2015, driven by rising local demand and growing disposable incomes. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13%–16% during 2013–18 to reach US$112– 130 billion by 2018.

The Government of India has treated the electronics sector as a priority sector under its “Make in India” program. Government has set up Electronic Hardware Technology Parks (EHTPs), Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and brought about a favorable climate for foreign direct investment (FDI). It has also increased liberalization and relaxed tariffs to promote growth in the sector. Various schemes aimed to create an indigenous manufacturing eco-system for electronics in the country has been launched by the GOI.

In Germany, electronics is one of the largest industrial sectors and has a wide-ranging, dynamic, and innovative portfolio. Thanks to high investments in research and development, seven out of ten companies regularly launch product or process innovations, thereby offering ample opportunities for Indian businesses to invest, collaborate with German counterparts for manufacturing as well as to gain access to niche technologies. On the other hand, the production level of electronic goods in India is at an intermediary stage, offering huge potential for growth and investment by German electronics companies, a viable option.

I hope that this report serves as good reference manual to the stakeholders and would enhance the co-operation between India and Germany.

1. Introduction Electronics Sector Page 4 of 25

Page 5: cgimunich.gov.in Sector_2017... · Web viewThe Indian electronics market grew by 8.6% YoY to reach US$75 billion in 2015, driven by rising local demand and growing disposable incomes

The electronics sector includes industrial electronic equipment and consumer electronics products, such as computers, televisions, telecommunication equipment and circuit boards etc. The most profitable sector within electronics is the Semiconductor industry with a value of around $248 billion globally. Electronic industries are growing rapidly because of increasing demand particularly from emerging market economies. In 2007, Asia had a share of 56% of electronic production followed by the US with 37% and Europe at 22%. Electronics retail is maturing as an industry, becoming increasingly competitive and experiencing unique challenges.

(Source: Investopedia)

Electronics sector growth is greatly accelerated by increasing consumer spending around the world. With the growth of developing economies, consumer demand for electronics has also witnessed the corresponding increase. Increased competition is driving the costs associated with electronics production down and expanding the availability of affordable electronics products.

Over the years, electronics retailing is becoming increasingly fragmented and competitive. Many electronics brands are now offering their products at their own stores as a means of becoming more profitable. Online stores also compete for customer spending. As variety of electronics products increases, traditional stores struggle to offer enough of the more popular products to consumers and concede some of the market to online retailers. While purchasing volume increases, many larger companies decline as the sector becomes fragmented with a greater number of companies offering electronic products.

2. Trends and Challenges in the Electronics Manufacturing Industry

Electronics manufacturing is facing both challenges and opportunities in 2017. The need to control costs continues to be a priority for manufacturers, while new technologies enter the landscape providing revenue opportunities but requiring manufacturers to partner with technology solutions providers and other organizations that can supply capabilities outside of the company’s core focus. The nature of electronics manufacturing trends in 2017 is such that every trend comes along with challenges. Electronics manufacturers need to focus on finding ways to capitalize on current trends while balancing the need to control costs, integrate technologies outside of their primary areas of expertise, and meet customer demands for more efficient, eco-friendly manufacturing processes and electronics. Here’s a look at seven of the biggest trends shaping electronics manufacturing in 2017 as well as the challenges each presents

2.1. The demand for smart electronics devices continues to rise

Smart devices are in demand. Devices like smartphones have been around for years, but now people need the same connectivity in everything from vehicles to microwaves. This trend will lead to the development of new partnerships as electronics manufacturers seek technology partners to aid in

Electronics Sector Page 5 of 25

Page 6: cgimunich.gov.in Sector_2017... · Web viewThe Indian electronics market grew by 8.6% YoY to reach US$75 billion in 2015, driven by rising local demand and growing disposable incomes

building in and supporting the connectivity required by smart devices. For manufacturers, this opportunity represents tremendous revenue potential. However, the challenge lies in the ability to get secure, scalable connected products into consumer’s hands, when for most manufacturers the connectivity aspect isn’t their core expertise. Manufacturers therefore, need to be flexible and adaptable to keep up with constantly evolving electronics demands.

2.2. Pressures mount for green electronics manufacturing

As climate change statistics continue to mount, there’s increasing pressure from all areas – consumers, businesses, and governments – to consider more eco-friendly manufacturing solutions. The various carbon cap or carbon trading plans being implemented are also helping to drive this push. With major programs being launched to drive research in the field, manufacturers who can get their ISO certifications in place could see a lot of interest, even in countries that aren’t at the low end of the global manufacturing cost scale.

2.3. There’s a push for energy-efficient electronics, forcing manufacturers to develop new methods to produce devices that consume less energy

Environmental concerns are paramount not only during the manufacturing process, but also throughout the lifespan of electronics devices. Reducing energy consumption is an effective way to cut costs, leading both businesses and consumers to opt for energy-efficient electronics. The pressure is on manufacturers come up with products that are less expensive to use owing to lower energy demands. This trend is having a domino effect, contributing to increased demand for related technologies such as global voltage supervisor ICs.

2.4. Medical device technology is a market to watch in 2017

The field of medicine has always been an early adopter of technology, particularly when it comes to medical devices. Because these industries inherently need to be close to the manufacture because of the high quality and reliability required for these types of electronic devices, this sector will continue to see growth.

2.5. Electronics manufacturing services (EMS) has had steady positive growth, but electronics manufacturing as a whole is expected to have slow growth in early 2017.

Electronics manufacturing overall is expected to experience slow growth in early 2017, according to data published in January 2017 by IPC – Association Connecting Electronics Industries.

2.6. Strategic partnerships will help electronics manufacturers control costs.

Contract manufacturing is undergoing a shift. As original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) increasingly outsource product design and development to electronics manufacturing services (EMS) partners, they are able to reduce overall costs as well as shift fixed costs to variable costs, a key benefit in the race to control manufacturing costs. This trend spells opportunity for EMS partners, enabling them to expand into new lines of business and revenue opportunities, and are resulting into more strategic partnerships. Strategic partnerships are valuable, but there are several important considerations. Venture Outsource outlines several key strategy considerations for EMS and OEMS, including evaluating current customer and product portfolios, aligning strategy and business models, and evaluating value propositions to ensure they’re in line with current needs and strategic business decisions.

2.7. Electronics manufacturers will place more emphasis on logistics for rapid delivery.

Speed, it seems, will be key in 2017 and beyond. It has been predicted that by 2018, 75% of manufacturers will be coordinating enterprise-wide planning activities under the umbrella of rapid integrated business planning. Another related prediction is a 50 percent increase in investments that

Page 7: cgimunich.gov.in Sector_2017... · Web viewThe Indian electronics market grew by 8.6% YoY to reach US$75 billion in 2015, driven by rising local demand and growing disposable incomes

enable digitally executed manufacturing by the end of 2017, also empowering manufacturers to increase agility.

These trends will be the key influencers that shape the electronics manufacturing industry in 2017 and beyond. It all comes down to better service and more sophisticated products, delivered at unprecedented speed with accuracy – while at the same time, controlling costs and minimizing environmental impact.

3. German Electrical and Electronic Industry

The German electrical and electronic industry plays an important part in Germany's industrial landscape. The electrical and electronics industry is the most innovative industry sector in Germany. The ZVEI - German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association promotes the industry's joint economic, technological and environmental policy interests on a national, European and global level. The ZVEI represents more than 1,600 companies, mostly SMEs. The sector has more than 850,000 employees in Germany and over 704,000 employees all over the world. In 2016, the sector recorded a turnover of €179 bn. One-third of the industry sales are based on new products. Every third innovation in Germany's manufacturing sector stems from solutions of this sector. More than 20 percent of all industrial R&D spending comes from this industry.

3.1. Business Cycle Report

(Source: https://www.zvei.org/)

German Electrical and Electronic Industry recorded double-digit growth in new orders in May 2017, after having seen stagnation in the previous month. Altogether they exceeded their pre-year level by 14.7%. Domestic and foreign orders rose by 13.4% and 15.6%, respectively. Hence, the economic momentum within the sector resumes its upward trend. In the full period from January through May 2017 bookings were 9.1% higher than in the same period last year.

The domestic E&E Industry’s real production – i.e., adjusted for price – has soared by 11.9% (year over year) in May 2017. Thus, for the full period from January through May of this year a growth in output by 5.3% (again year on-year) was recorded, even though the growth had been uneven. There have been three booming months (January, March and May) and two meagre ones (February and April) so far. The sector’s companies have slightly revised lower their production plans in June. Anyway, they still take an expansionary course.

5. Business Investment Opportunities in Germany

Germany is known for its large companies that are major global brands, such as Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Bosch, BMW, Deutsche Bank, Adidas, Siemens, etc. But there are also extremely productive small and medium-sized businesses—known as the Mittelstand—which employ almost 60% of the country’s workforce and form the bedrock of the economy. Doing business in Germany has many advantages, as the environment is conducive to growth. The largest number of German start-ups focus on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), followed by e-commerce and software development.

Germany takes its start-ups very seriously. The government has set up grants like EXIST—which supports universities and research institutes—and has initiated private-public venture capital funds such as High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF). Founded in 2005, HTGF is a partnership between the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi), KfW Development Bank and private companies. Endowed with €560 million, HTGF is one of the largest and most active seed-stage investors in technology companies. In addition, the German government is working on incentivising Electronics Sector Page 8 of 25

Page 9: cgimunich.gov.in Sector_2017... · Web viewThe Indian electronics market grew by 8.6% YoY to reach US$75 billion in 2015, driven by rising local demand and growing disposable incomes

business angels’ investments and launching a pre-market web platform that connects start-ups with investors.

5.1. Manufacturing Business: Germany is a preferred destination when it comes the manufacturing of standard products. One can choose to go into the manufacturing of electronic gadgets; you can choose to go into the manufacturing of auto spare parts or the manufacturing of any goods of your choice.

5.2. Laser Cutting and Welding of Metal Parts Business: Starting a laser cutting business in Germany is one business that you can easily start in Germany and it is highly profitable. A Laser cutting business requires low start-up capital, and an individual can run and manage the business alone.

5.3. IT Sales Support Business: Germany is a highly industrialized nation and technologically driven. The market for IT sales support business is very large and it cut across all the strata of the economy of Germany

5.4. Wholesale Electronic Supply Business: When it comes to reliable electronics and technology, Germany is in the fore front. Wholesale electronic supply business in Germany can make a good return on investment especially if one is able to secure international market.

5.5. Auto Spare Parts Business: Auto spare parts business is yet another viable and highly profitable business that can easily be started in Germany. One can either choose to start an auto spare parts manufacturing business or can choose to go into the wholesale or retailing of auto spare parts.

6. Indian Firms in Germany: Recent Developments and the Road Ahead

In recent past, Indian firms have scaled up their investments in Germany with some significant investment projects. Reports suggest that Germany continued to remain a destination of choice for many an Indian firm. Seeking access to technology and patent portfolios is increasingly driving Indian investments in Germany even as Indian firms try to augment their in-house R&D capabilities in order to compete on innovation. Other side, Indian firms often struggle to integrate themselves in

Page 10: cgimunich.gov.in Sector_2017... · Web viewThe Indian electronics market grew by 8.6% YoY to reach US$75 billion in 2015, driven by rising local demand and growing disposable incomes

the local eco-system and to fully benefit from the national, regional, and sectoral innovation systems in Germany.

6.1. Challenges and the Road ahead: This is, however, easier said than done. Even though the basic tenor of Indian investments in Germany continues to remain overwhelmingly positive, Indian companies do face certain challenges in a vastly different operational setting than back home. Work culture, the regulatory framework, and the socio-economic environment differ very significantly to India. Many Indian firms prefer to keep to themselves. One reason can of course be rooted in the linguistic challenges faced by expatriate managers. Another, and probably not any less important, reason lies in the sometimes seemingly excessive focus on short-term gains and profits. Quite a substantial number of Indian firms choose to interact primarily with their (prospective) customers and suppliers that have an immediate bearing on their revenues. Additionally, many firms continue to follow a very hierarchical system, where even minor decisions are outsourced to the headquarters back in India, which usually is ill-equipped in comprehending the ground realities in Germany.

7. Electronics Market of India

The Government of India is striving to give a boost to the electronics sector manufacturing in India and has developed a comprehensive plan to realize the vision of making the country self-reliant and with a target NET ZERO Imports by 2020. Several policy and regulatory initiatives has been taken in this direction like ‘Make in India’, ‘Digital India’, and Preference for Domestically Manufactured Electronic Goods (PMA) etc. This leads to boost to local manufacturing and opportunity for employment.

The electronics market of India is one of the largest in the world and is anticipated to reach US$ 400 billion in 2022. The market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.4% during 2012-2020.Total production of electronics hardware goods in India is estimated to reach US$ 104 billion by 2020. The communication and broadcasting equipment segment constituted 31%, which is the highest share of total production of electronic goods in India in FY13, followed by consumer electronics at 23%. Electronic exports from India was expected to reach US$ 8.3 billion in FY13, a CAGR of 27.9% during FY07-12. Technological improvements and competitively cost effectiveness are main drivers for demand of Indian electronics products abroad.

The growing customer base and the increased penetration in consumer durables segment has provided enough scope for the growth of the Indian electronics sector. Also, digitization of cable could lead to increased broadband penetration in the country and open new avenues for companies in the electronics industry.

As part of the efforts to promote the electronics sector, semiconductor wafer fab are being set-up in the country. India has become the hub for semiconductor design with nearly 2000 chips being designed per year and more than 20, 000 engineers are working in various aspects of chip design and verification. Annually India is generating nearly USD 2 Billion in revenues for the chip design services. This provides an enabling environment for the semiconductor wafer fab which will come up in India.

Several other policy initiatives have been approved recently that include providing very attractive financial investment in electronics manufacturing and providing preference to domestically manufactured electronic goods in all Government procurement as well as all those electronic goods whose use has security implications for the country. The financial incentives are available not only for new units but also for units relocating from abroad. To address the issue of infrastructure, a scheme for Electronics Manufacturing Cluster provides 50% of the cost of upgrading infrastructure and logistics as grant in aid from Government.

10. Incentive Schemes

10.1. Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme(M-SIPS)

To offset disability and attract investments in Electronic manufacturing, Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme (M-SIPS) was notified on 27.7.2012. The scheme is available for both new projects and expansion projects. The scheme provides capital subsidy of 20% in SEZ (25% in non-SEZ) for units engaged in electronics manufacturing. It also provides for reimbursements of CVD/ excise for capital equipment for the non-SEZ units. For some of the high capital investment projects like fabs, it provides for reimbursement of Central Taxes and Duties. The incentives were available for 29 electronic verticals. Units all across the manufacturing value chain are covered under the scheme. For each of the product category, an investment threshold is prescribed which an applicant has to incur for getting eligible for incentives. The scheme was amended on August 3, 2015. The salient amendments include:

(i) The term of the scheme has been extended up to 27/07/2020. (ii) The scope of the scheme has been extended to cover additional verticals. (iii) The procedure for grant of approval has been simplified and streamlined. The incentives are

now available for investments made in a project within a period of 10 years from the date of application

M-SIPS scheme is presently open to receive applications. All Initial applications which will be received by DeitY on or before 26-07-2020 will be considered for incentives under M-SIPS. Any further communication with regard to the application can be addressed to Nodal Officer(M-SIPS), Department of Electronics and IT, Electronics Niketan, Lodhi Road, New Delhi-110003.

11. Make in India Strategy for Electronic Products:

India’s policy options for electronics hardware industry is in favour of an export-oriented strategy. The essential argument made is that at less than $65 billion, the domestic market remains small in relation to the world market, which is in excess of $2 trillion. Going for the larger market would permit the exploitation of economies of scale and agglomeration and help the industry become globally competitive. The alternative import –substitution strategy would gain competitiveness principally in the domestic market since it largely relies on securing the domestic market for domestic producers.

11.1. Global Electronic Hardware:

Industry Electronics industry is among the largest and fastest growing manufacturing Industry in the world. The total Electronics Equipment Production of the world during the year 2014 was estimated to be around US$ 2.0 trillion. The break-up of the sector includes, Computer Systems and Peripherals (26.6 percent) followed by communication equipment (21.7 percent), Consumer Electronics (12.6 percent), Instruments (10.7%), industrial equipment (9.5 percent) and Equipment for Government /

Military (8.8 percent). Over the years, production bases have shifted from USA and EU to Asia as the latter’s share in global production has increased to over 60%.

11.2. A Snapshot of Indian Electronics Industry: 2014-15

India’s total Electronics Hardware Production in 2014-15 is estimated at US$ 32.46 billion. This represents a share of about 1.5 percent in world electronic hardware production. The production, export and import figures of Indian Electronics Industry for FY 14-15 are summarized in Table 1.

Above table provides data on exports and imports. Following three points emerge:

i) First, India has not had much success in penetrating the export markets so far. At $6 billion, India has less than 1 % share in the world markets;

ii) Second, electronic components and electronic instruments account for the bulk of India’s exports; iii) Finally, imports of electronic goods account for more than half of India’s total consumption at

home.

Electronics manufacturing industry has received a tiny part of the total foreign direct investment (FDI) into India. From April 1, 2000 to June 30, 2015, it received only $1.68 billion or 0.66% of the total FDI inflow of $258 billion FDI inflow. In flow terms, the total FDI in electronics in 2014-15 was $142.9 million and amounted to just 0.42% of the total FDI inflow.

Although telecommunications received 6% of the total FDI inflow during 2014-15 on its own, this was almost entirely in the provision of telecommunications services. In several countries, the contribution of electronic industry to GDP is significant. For example, it contributes 15.5% to GDP in Taiwan, 15.1% in South Korea and 12.7% in China as compared to 1.7% in India. Furthermore, OEM/ODM [Original Equipment Manufacturing / Original Design Manufacturing] and local component suppliers are still in infancy in India. Most of the OEM is confined to last mile assembly indicating that the industry remains in the early stages of development.

11.3. Growth Trend

The output of electronic industry has grown from Rs. 1.9 lakh crore in 2004-05 to Rs. 8.2 lakh crore in 2013-14. The simple average of growth rates during this period works out to 21.5%. But remembering that the production value is nominal and not corrected for inflation and the base is still small, the growth is less impressive than this growth rate may indicate.
