Electronic Components
This sector produces the essential passive and electromechanical parts—such as connectors, capacitors, and screens—that act as the building blocks for complex circuit boards.
Why it exists
This industry produces the foundational parts that make all electronics possible.
Why it’s necessary
No chips, boards, or power systems exist without capacitors, resistors, connectors, and sensors.
Key components
Passive components
Sensors and microcontrollers
Power management devices
Printed circuit board components
How to evaluate businesses
Assess exposure to auto, industrial, and consumer cycles, pricing elasticity, backlog visibility, and manufacturing scale. Supply reliability and quality reputation matter more than branding.
How the industry could be improved
Regional manufacturing diversification, predictive supply planning, higher automation, and standardized interoperability to reduce design friction.
