    N dubt, the ast 2 years were quite eventu r

    the Eurpean cmpnents industry and specicay

    distributin.

    2009 started with the market jumping int an abyss,

    created by the nance market disaster 2008/2009,

    ny t be wed in 2010 by the steepest upturn in

    recent histry, with 53% grwth the semicnductr

    distributin market in Eurpe r that year. S, the

    expectatins r 2011 at the beginning the year were

    cautiusy ptimistic. What wed was a buish grwthunti May 2011, supprted by acatin ears ater the

    Japanese earthquake.

    In the rst ha 2011, the industry grew again int

    dube gures, 23% t be exact, r the semicnductr

    distributin industry (IP&E nt ar behind).

    But it seems that specicay distributin-assciated

    industry segments ike industria autmatin and the

    autmtive sectr expanded their inventries ver-

    prprtinay, just t nd ut that the ramicatins

    the Japanese natura disaster were much smaer than

    expected. Nw ha the market has t much inventry

    and has therere naturay stepped n the brakes

    regarding new rders.The cncusin is that a huge prtin the current

    slowdown is an inventory correction that shud end

    by the end caendar year 2011, and that in 2012 we

    can k rward t anther rund at east mderate

    grwth. But what about the other part o the slow-down?

    The consumer and the world economy at large?

    As we have seen in the ast crisis, the cmpnents market

    has arrived in the rea wrd. With 2/3 the tta market

    vaue cnsumed by cnsumer-type prducts (phnes,

    cmputers, tabets, game cnses etc.), it is cear that

    it is nt the investment gds cyces that are driving the

    market behaviur but the cnsumers, wh act n dierent

    principes, with this eect: cyces are much shrter and

    much mre dependent n the vera market ecnmics.

    What current actors are there which could inuence

    both directly and indirectly the components market?The

    Eur crisis, gba ecnmic swdwn, ears infatin

    (Eurpe, US, China), natura disasters (rst Japan, then

    Thaiand), the US debt, an verheated grwth in the ast

    18 mnths. It reads ike the pt r the erfect storm.

    But hw much these wi reay take eect? Nt even

    the experts can te, but taking essns rm 2009, at eastthat much is cear when n ne knws what is cming,

    there wi be mre cautin ging rward - which adds t

    the inventry crrectin (it is nt quite cear where ese

    Electronics component distribution has

    one big and t date incacuabe actr

    is the Eurpean autmtive industry,

    accunting r a huge prtin the

    Eurpean (even wrse: German)

    cmpnents cnsumptin. Chasing

    ne recrd ater the next r sme time,

    specicay in China, the expectatins

    r 2012 purprtedy have becme very

    mderate which cud ead t a steep

    drp in rders (actring in the high

    inventry eves cmpnents). Itay,France and Germany wi nt ike this

    scenari...

    Ceary, the market demand des

    nt vanish vernight. Therere the

    exaggerated swdwn in bkings wi

    ease ut sn, but a decine in demand

    wi inevitaby ead t a swer recvery

    the bkings at a wer eve.

    In ther wrds, the tw recrd years 2010

    and 2011 (mainy due t the strng rstha) wi stand r sme time. Aready,

    king at the situatin in Western

    Euroe, mre roduction is eaving

    shre (specicay big custmers).

    The exceptins are Germany and its

    Eastern neighburs, wh in the meantime

    accunt r ver 50% the distributin

    market, and grwing. Here, the

    prductin base remains stabe; hwever,

    the market is extremey cmpetitive.

    Ging rward, neither GDP nr the tta

    cmpnents market, nr the distributin

    market expectatins are very ptimistic.

    Market research in the cmpnents

    business ike Electronic Outlook expect

    2011 t be negative aready (-0.8%

    gbay, -3.8% r Eurpe).This is nt ging t happen r the

    distributin sectr, at east nt r the

    semicnductr part. Even under the

    wrst circumstances in Q4/2011 (ets

    say minus 20%) the distributin market wi

    grw at east singe-digit in 2011, setting

    a new recrd year. 2012 then has t dea

    with such a high cmparisn basis.As the rst ha 2011 bied recrd

    resuts, yu can cacuate r yurse what

    mst prbaby wi happen rm January t

    June 2012.

    What are the key messages going

    orward? Eurpe is a mature eectrnics

    market that mst certainy wi ace

    varius chaenges, endgenus and

    exgenus. The cmpetitive strength in

    varius industry segments is enrmus

    but specicay Western Eurpe has stits manuacturing edge and is dwn t its

    bare bnes.

    Design yes, design infuence yes, but

    ca manuacturing decining, market

    utk very mderate. As t be actred

    in - the eectrnics industry in Eurpe

    has dicuties in nding empyees

    in the yunger generatins. What is

    nt erded by the cst cutters, wh

    cntinue t deprive Eurpe meaningumanuacturing structures, wi be et with

    a wrkrce in the ate 40s, eary 50s, with

    very ew successrs in sight.

    The current chaenges the industry are

    a mere refectin what is ging n in

    sciety in genera. N miraces are waiting

    t happen t change this. What has been

    st des nt cme back, and new ideas

    need t ead t new business that can be

    cmpetitivey manuactured here.

    The remaining wrd market eaders that

    Eurpe have are nt the big cngmerates

    but the innvative sma and medium

    sized cmpanies that cincidentay are

    distributin custmers. And new wrd

    market eaders rm Eurpe wi cme rm

    there as we.

    The distribution industry has t nd

    ways t hep this business growth -

    with techngy, engineering supprt,

    marketing, services and, yes, as suppychain services that we prvide better

    than anyne. Hwever, the seeds need t

    distributin channes. ADEC has becme

    an imprtant industry rganizatin t

    ensure that the eectrnics industry is

    prtected within Suth Arica.

    ADEC has as strng representatin

    at the South African Electronics

    Industry Federation (SAEIF) which is

    wrking csey with the Deartment of

    Trade and Industry t prtect and grw

    the eectrnics industry.

    one the initiatives where ADEC is very

    much invved in is t review current

    imprt duties in rder t prmte ca

    manuacturing. We have bserved an

    aarming trend in recent mnths wherekey R&D and manuacturing cmpanies

    are in prcess dwnscaing their

    wrkrce with the intend t imprt

    cmpete manuactured prducts. Such

    activities wi nt ny aect imprts

    eectrnic cmpnents negativey, but

    it wi as reduce jbs and aect the

    ecnmy negativey.

    The utk r 2012 is cautius

    ptimistic, but a industry payers

    incuding gvernment needs t wrk

    tgether t ensure that grwth is

    sustainabe in the ng term.

    Metering are prbaby the tw mst

    imprtant actrs which may stimuate

    the eectrnics industry in the medium

    term. At this stage, nthing is hwever

    certain and gvernment and state wned

    enterprises such as Eskom wi pay a

    majr re in the utcme this grwth.

    Risks that we shud be cautius is

    the repacement cay manuacturer

    prducts with cmpete imprted

    prducts r kits. High risk areas areautmtive reated prducts, Set

    Tp bxes and eectricity meters.

    Many these prducts are currenty

    being exprted and it wi be a ss

    r the Suth Arican ecnmy i R&D

    and manuacturing is reduced. The

    eectrnics industry needs t wrk cser

    with gvernment t prtect and grw

    these industries.

    The Suth Arican eectrnics industryhas aways been very innvative and new

    ideas shud be appied twards ca

    R&D and manuacturing gba trends

    such as energy ecient prducts. lED

    ighting is a gd exampe sme gd

    innvatin which is currenty taking pace

    in Suth Arica.

    Frm an ADEC perspective, it is

    critica that cmpnent distributrs

    need t ensure that they cntinue t

    add adequate vaue int the suppy

    chain which wi make it attractive r

    manuacturers t dea thrugh credibe

    crreated with SAs grwth 8.1%. The

    mre interesting anaysis is t k what

    is happening currenty in the US and

    Eurpe in rder t specuate what we

    can expect in Suth Arica during 2012.

    During 2011, US and Eurpean nancia

    turbuence wed hard n the hees

    the massive earthquake in Japan,

    causing imbaances in semicnductr

    suppy and demand.

    The International Distribution o

    Electronics Association (IDEA) has

    indicated that there is a biings grwth

    between 8% and 12% r Q2 2011

    cmpared t Q2 2010 r Eurpean

    cuntries. Their statistics indicate that

    the Eurpean grwth rate is n a sharp

    decine.

    Anaysts urther recast that gba

    semicnductr saes wi grw a swer

    5% in 2012. The gba semicnductrindustry in 2012 cud be impacted by

    a number macrecnmic issues,

    incuding high unempyment in the

    U.S., the nging debt crisis, the dds

    a dube-dip U.S. recessin in the

    United States and Japan, and the ear

    infatin in China, India, and Brazi.

    Frm a pure crreatin perspective, we

    can expect that the grwth rate 8.1%

    cmpnents saes in Suth A rica may

    decine t 4% twards the end 2012.

    Hwever, we need t k at the Suth

    Arican industry t rene this crreatin.

    Eectrnic prducts such as smart

    phnes, media tabets, mbie PCs, set

    tp bxes, lCD TVs, wired netwrks,

    industria autmatin, and autmtive

    intainment wi be the majr driver

    eectrnics saes wrdwide.

    Hwever, the Suth Arican industry is

    very weak in mst these areas.

    There are majr prjects n the hriznwhich may stimuate the grwth the

    SA eectrnics industry in the cming tw

    years. The Digital Terrestrial Television

    switchover prject and Smart

    The ast 4 years have been a

    rercaster ride r the Suth

    Arican eectrnics industry.

    Suth Arican imprt statistics (see

    attached graph) has shwn that Suth

    Arica experienced a signicant decine in

    imprts eectrnic cmpnents in 2009

    due t the 2008 gba nancia crisis.

    During 2010 the SA ecnmy recvered

    and eectrnic imprts were n the

    increase again. In terms cmpnentsaes, this recvery ny reaized twards

    the secnd ha 2010 and cntinued

    int 2011.

    Accrding t ADEC statistics, the year

    Grasping the picture o the solid statelighting market is not an easy job.Firstly because there isnt a defnitivesource o reliable inormation thatcan capture the global lighting marketand secondly because there is a rapidprolieration o new comers. Not toorget that this type o reports typicallyhave a purchase ee that is prohibitiveand when they become accessible they

    are usually out o date...

    A new reportThere is a new report releasedby McKinsey & Company andcommissioned by Osram: Lightingthe Way: Perspectives on the GlobalLighting Market.

    The report takes a broad view othe lighting industry with particularreerence to LED market share. Theinormation have been generatedthrough a survey developed in June 2011with interviews o lighting proessionalsand consumers in the USA, Germany,

    Japan, China, Russia, Brazil, and India.Feedback was collected rom morethan 650 respondents representingthe design sector and more than 1,000respondents representing lightingproducts consumers. The report bringsan overview o the global lightingmarket, an evaluation o the impacto LED technology on lighting and anexamination o LED penetration.

    the LeD Lighting mArketAccording to the report, the globallighting market will reach a revenuelevel o approximately 110 bllby 2020. Population increases,

    urbanization and governmentregulations that avoursenergy efciency measuresare indicated as the keydrivers or this growth.Currently LED technologyis too expensive to becompetitive and able toconquer a wide applicationbase but the expectation thatthe LED costs will decrease ata rate o 30 percent per annumwill accelerate the adoption osuch a technology.

    The graph shows that in 2010 theSSL market was worth 7 billion witha 10% market share. The picture isgoing to change drastically by 2016when the market is orecasted to reach40 billion ater a Compound AnnualGrowth Rate o 34% clearly showingthe above mentioned acceleration. Atthis point in time the SSL market shouldgrasp approximately 41% o the totallighting market.

    Got at that point the accelerationwill slow and rom 2016 to 2020 theMcKinsey report suggests that theCAGR will drop at the 13% level. Thismeans that in 2020 the SSL marketshould account or 64 billion with 59%o the total market.

    the key mArket segmentsIts clear, looking to the graph, thatthe report is taking in considerationthe three main sectors o the lightingmarket: al l, auvl and bacl.

    General lighting, which accounts or75% o the total lighting market, isthe main market area or the cominggrowth and the one that will see thegreatest transormation due to LEDs.

    In particular the applications inarchitectural lighting are viewed asan area o early adoption because othe incorporation o color control and,as McKinsey reports, will see an 85%market share by 2020.

    recvery.

    This pattern hwever des nt

    appear t be wed by the UK

    eectrnic cmpnents markets

    and GDP grwth. The UK

    eectrnic cmpnents markets

    are n track t achieve a grwth

    apprximatey 7% in 2011,

    cnsidating n what was a

    phenmena 26% grwth in 2010,

    whist the 2011 UK GDP grwth

    is recast at 2% an imprvement

    ver the minima grwth in 2010.

    Why is this?

    Its very hard t justiy using hard

    data but anecdta evidence

    suggests that the wide breadth

    Forecasting 2012:

    Reasons to Be Cheerful

    The outlook or employment in the electronics industry is not

    really is not as bad as the problems in the overall economy

    may suggest says Adam Fletcher - Chairman at the Electronic

    Components Supply Network. As many organisations enter

    the fnal stages o their 2012 business planning cycle Fletcher

    justifes his optimism by reviewing key data and inormation

    sources, but he also shares his concerns that this will continue

    to be a low job creation recovery at best, which is likely to

    remain an ongoing problem or many developed economies...
