IESA releases two reports on domestic electronics manufacturing

electronicsWednesday, January 15, 2014: The Indian ESDM industry was estimated to be US$ 68.31 billion in 2012. The impressive guidance between 2011 and 2015 for this

industry is expected to result in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.88 per cent. The corresponding size of the industry by 2015 is anticipated to be US$ 94.2 billion.

India Electronic and Semiconductor Association (IESA), the premier trade body representing the Indian electronic system design and manufacturing (ESDM) industry, released two studies on January 13, 2014. The IESA-Frost & Sullivan report analyses the growth and opportunity in the Indian ESDM market, while the ‘Disability Identification’ study with Ernst & Young examines key macro issues that are impairing the growth of electronics manufacturing in the country.

Study on Indian ESDM Market Analysis of Opportunity and Growth Plan by Frost & Sullivan

From the top 25 high priority electronic products that account for 82 per cent of overall electronics consumption in India, the top five product categories alone account for 60 per cent of the overall electronics consumption. Some of the high consuming electronic products identified are:

  • Mobile phones: 38.85 per cent

  • Flat panel display TV: 7.91 per cent

  • Notebooks: 5.54 per cent

  • Desktops: 4.39 per cent

Power electronics/supply, processor, LCD display, memory and PCB feature among the top four components contributing to the product bill of materials (BoM) across majority of the top 25 high priority products. According to the report, 69 per cent of local consumption of the top 25 priority products are currently met through imports.

Some of the key observations include:

65 per cent of the current demand for electronics products is met by imports. Imports are likely to grow from $28 billion in 2011

to $42 billion in 2015 in the absence of intervention

High value added manufacturing is likely to be restricted to less than 7 per cent in 2015. This represents a cumulative opportunity loss of $200 billion between 2011 and 2015 in the absence of intervention

Increasing total domestic manufacturing to 50 per cent by 2015 will create additional direct employment for nearly 2 lakh people

There is a very pertinent need to recognize the ESDM industry as a priority sector and provide a favourable environment for its growth

Recommendations by Frost & Sullivan

  • Aim to meet 50 per cent of demand for 25 high priority products by local high value added manufacturing by 2018.

  • Address >20 per cent of the disability cost in producing the high priority products locally by normalising duty structure and cost of working capital.

  • Provide subsidies/low interest loans to address working capital issues for SME manufacturers.

  • Provide a single window system for quick clearance of applications under the M-SIPS and EMC policies.

  • Skill development council to focus on developing skill-sets needed in the ecosystem for the 25 high priority products.

65 per cent of electronic items’ demand met by imports

The ESDM industry in India is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.9 per cent to reach US$ 94.2 billion by 2015. This is more than twice the growth rate of the global ESDM market and presents immense potential for the domestic market. Currently, 65 per cent of demand for electronic products is met by imports in the country, and even the balance 35 per cent which is manufactured in India is mainly low value added manufacturing. In this context, the two reports emphasise on developing an ecosystem for bridging the demand-supply gap and make concrete recommendations to the government to create a favourable environment for high value added electronics manufacturing facilities in India.

Disability identification study by Ernst & Young

This study focuses on key issues across different electronic segments such as consumer electronics, IT systems and hardware and industrial electronics, and highlights key issues preventing the growth of indigenous manufacturing of electronics in India.

The Frost & Sullivan report presents detailed product wise SWOT analysis of 25 high priority products that accounts for nearly 82 per cent of the overall electronics consumption in India. It also has recommendations for bolstering an ecosystem to meet the demand of these 25 top products that are strategically important for the country. This report also captures four key components used in these 25 products, as the focus has to be for both Products as well as Component Manufacturing

Commenting on these reports, Sanjeev Keskar, chairman, IESA said, “As per the government’s National Policy on Electronics (NPE) we have a US$ 100 billion investment target to meet by 2020. To put an entire ecosystem on track, certain fundamentals have to be set right. With the clear recommendations in this report, it’s time to adopt necessary changes to boost domestic product development and manufacturing. Ensuring speedy implementation of the new initiatives and taking corrective measures on certain key irritants will go a long way in building confidence ushering manufacturing investments into the country.”

He added that as this study corroborates, providing a favourable environment for developing the ecosystem in the country could eliminate disability costs associated with local manufacturing and lead to enormous development of the overall ecosystem. Focusing on the top 25 priority products along with key components could be a huge step forward in solving the problem.

Issues as per Ernst and Young report and their impact

  • Tax related disabilities such as Basic Custom Duty (BCD) on import of end products, higher excise duty for domestic manufacturers, STB, VAT, long procedures for availing concessional duty on import of components and more, collectively impacts to about 3-6 per cent of revenue, for Indian manufacturers.

  • Higher cost of finance impacts 2-14 per cent of revenue; this includes higher interest rates, greater cost of working capital financing, capital and design expenses.

  • Poor domestic availability of components constitutes to about 3-5 per cent of revenue, taking into account higher inventory carrying costs and additional freight cost due to import of components

  • Higher manufacturing cost due to poor infrastructure forms 0.5-1.5 per cent of revenue due to unreliable power supply and higher cost of real estate.

  • Higher cost of international marketing impacts less than 1 per cent of the revenue.

Recommendations by Ernst & Young

  • Speedy implementation of the various schemes of the NPE of 2012 including the EDF

  • Give a boost to innovation and creation of Intellectual Property (IP) assets within India by encouraging setting up of both business incubators, and centres of excellence in identified verticals

  • Overhaul of the taxation structure for ITA-1 products, including grant of ‘deemed export’ status, soft loans and interest subvention, VAT/CST rebate and BCD rationalisation to overcome inverted duty structure

  • Give a fillip to component ecosystem by encouraging domestic manufacturing of key components and establishment of a free trade and warehousing zone (FTWZ) to be set up near a major port or EMC, with same benefits under both EMC and M-SIPS scheme of the NPE-2012

  • Reduce transaction costs by simplifying procedures and adopting self-declaration route as far as feasible

  • Aggressively pursue anti-dumping cases, in order to protect domestic manufacturers
