Drivers of Growth
The surge in stock prices mirrors the Indian EMS sector’s robust expansion, driven by several key factors:
Government Policies: Initiatives such as the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme and the Scheme for Promotion of Manufacturing of Electronic Components and Semiconductors (SPECS) have significantly boosted the sector.
China+1 Strategy: India’s “China+1” strategy is positioning it as a key global manufacturing hub, enhancing its manufacturing capabilities and export potential.
Cost Competitiveness: India’s cost advantage, combined with its strong infrastructure and skilled workforce, has further strengthened its position in the global electronics market.
Market Outlook
The global electronics industry is projected to reach US$3.1 trillion by CY26, growing at a 4.9% CAGR. The EMS sector is anticipated to outpace this growth, expanding at a 5.4% CAGR to reach US$1.1 trillion. India’s share in the global EMS market is expected to quadruple, reaching 7% and US$80.2 billion by CY26. This growth is driven by a burgeoning domestic electronics market, which is projected to grow by approximately 25.5% to US$282 billion.

In the June quarter, the seven EMS companies covered by Systematix Institutional Equities saw impressive growth:
77% increase in revenue year-on-year
63% rise in EBITDA
75% jump in PAT
This performance was notably higher than expectations, driven by strong demand for cooling products. Companies are optimistic about their growth prospects following this robust first-quarter performance.
