Trends and Insights
To keep up with market trends, European manufacturers need to be innovative
- Consumer electronics undergo rapid technological development, and consumers consistently demand the highest quality and cutting-edge technology for their devices. With much of the manufacturing capacity for consumer electronics being offshored over the past few decades, European manufacturers have largely retreated to high-value, high-tech niche products, which offer stronger profitability and less competitive disadvantage compared to international manufacturers. This requires consistent research and development to keep ahead of the competition.

Consumer Electronics Manufacturing in Europe outlook (2025-2030)
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
Strict EU regulations and rising energy costs compel manufacturers to develop more environmentally friendly products
- The EU is enacting a wave of sustainability-focused regulations which will have an impact on the electronics manufacturing industry. One of the most transformative requirements is the Digital Product Passport (DPP), which will become mandatory for electronics starting in 2027 under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). The DPP will provide comprehensive digital documentation of each product's lifecycle, including material composition, carbon footprint, recycled content, repairability information and sustainability attributes. Manufacturers that do not comply with these standards face market restrictions, legal sanctions and reputational damage.
