Computer & Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing in Europe industry analysis

The European computer and peripheral equipment market is dominated by imports, creating stiff competition for local manufacturers. Asian countries such as China, Taiwan and South Korea, which are characterised by cost-efficient manufacturing and high production capacities, dominate sales. In response, manufacturers in countries such as Germany, the UK and France have moved away from the mass production of electronics to serve niche markets that value innovation and customisation. For example, German companies are focusing on high-performance industrial computers, while some British companies are developing computers with sophisticated encryption technologies. At the same time, some large companies, including Dell, HP, Lenovo and Acer, have production facilities in Hungary and Czechia. Despite the higher costs compared to production in Asia, these European locations help companies respond to the requirements of the European market.
