As part of electronicIndia 2008, the 9th International Conference and Exhibition of Electronic Components, Materials and Production Equipment, Messe München International - The World’s No.1 Organiser of Electronics Trade Fairs - is organising a one-day International Conference on Contract Manufacturing: The Indian Perspective on September 2nd, 2008 at BIEC, Bangalore, India.

The Conference is significant since India has already emerged as a hotspot for Contract Manufacturing (Electronics Manufacturing Services - EMS and Original Developer Manufacturing - ODM). The growing Indian economy is fuelling a massive consumer boom. Demand for electronic gadgets, appliances and equipment is growing briskly and companies are increasingly turning to EMS firms to fill the pipeline. The EMS industry in India is buzzing with activity, and Frost & Sullivan estimates that the EMS industry (electronic PCB assembly and ODM services) in India will grow from $900 million in 2005 to $2.5 billion by 2010, at an annual growth rate of about 30 percent. Much of this growth is propelled by the burgeoning demand for telecom equipment and consumer products, including mobile handsets.

Major names which figure in India with ongoing and planned operations include who is who in EMS and ODM sectors such as Flextronics, Jabil Circuit, Celestica, Elcoteq, Solectron, Hon Hai Precision Industry, Sanmina-SCI, TVS Electronics, HCL Technologies, Nokia, BEL, Samsung etc. Several companies have set up ventures or acquired existing manufacturing companies. Many companies have gone ahead with plans to set up their own Special Economic Zones (SEZs) or participate in SEZs.
