Quest for Dominance

Quest for dominance

(f00113) -- China's fragmented electronic components distribution market is ripe for consolidation. Who's going to lead the charge?

fetch-food-for-Thought: The mid-tier component distribution companies can take full advantage of the fragmented Chinese electronic market! What you will need is an Interent Virtual Platform and an "e-Catalog". Fetch can provide you both applications by the end of the summer. The only cost to our Strategic Partners will be a small hook-up fee!



One of the biggest factors at play in China's electronic component distribution market is that it is a major market where the globally dominant players don't have double-digit share.

Eventually, the market will consolidate, with the main players achieving dominance, but cultural habits aren't broken overnight. Certainly, as China's legal system improves and the R-factor--relationships--declines in importance, change will come. But it will take a while to rationalize China's component distribution market.

In an earlier ESM article ("China distribution: wide open," April 2006), I listed five factors that I believe will drive consolidation. They all have relatively short fuses--measured in years, not decades. It's hard to say, however, which of them will be the catalyst for consolidation.

Perhaps the bigger issue is how much longer the large distributors from North America can wait before ramping their investment in the world's largest component market. I believe the lack of investment (or even entry) into China by most of the top 50 North American franchise distributors is one of the worst management blunders in the history of the industry. Unless this changes rapidly, a decade from now the list of the top 50 global franchise distributors will differ markedly from today's roster.

REACH and the electronic supply chain: Are you ready?

(f00112) REACH and the electronics supply chain: Are you ready?

There are many reasons why the electronics industry should be concerned about the European Union's (EU) chemical law — Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH), and all of these reasons will impact your company's bottom line.

The most important reason is that electronic products are made of chemicals. However, many businesses fail to see that their parts or assemblies are a bill of materials of chemicals that went into processing and manufacturing the parts they use. In addition, many of the chemicals have toxic properties.

You are, no doubt, aware of the impact that the EU's Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive has had on the electronics industry. The restriction of six substances (and as of June 30, seven) required a major redesign of most electronic products covered because of the restriction on the use of lead, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, mercury, PBB and PBDE. Add DecaBDE (brominated fire retardant) effective July 1, 2008 because the European Commission's exemption of DecaBDE was nullified by the European Court of Justice. (See related article: European Court of Justice annuls Deca-BDE RoHS exemption)

Distributors Help Fuel Eco-Friendly Designs

Distributors Help Fuel Eco-Friendly Designs (f00109)

Electronic Business June 2008

By Diane Trommer

Soaring energy costs and growing concern over the environmental impact of electronic devices have put electronics manufacturers in the hot seat as consumers demand high-tech devices that are not only better, faster and cheaper, but also greener. As the burden of fulfilling this demand cascades through the supply chain, it ultimately stops at the design engineer. In support of OEM customers’ efforts to capitalize on the opportunity to turn sustainability into a competitive advantage, authorized distributors are turning up the heat on their environmentally conscious solutions.
