The worldwide electronics manufacturing services (EMS) market grew 17.3% in 2007, as the worldwide electronics assembly market grew a mere 3.9%. The EMS market will continue to grow briskly in the coming years, as the outsourcing of electronics manufacturing continues its relentless march, according to Electronic Trend Publications (ETP).
 
ETP estimates that total electronics assembly value was $958 billion in 2007 and will grow to nearly $1.4 trillion in 2012. Fueled by this huge market, ETP believes that the EMS industry will grow from $261 billion in 2007 to $493 billion in 2012.
