Double-digit growth in the region
Kurtz Ersa has been present in India, through a very effective representation by its partner Bergen Associates, for close to 35 years. It has an installed base of over 150, spread across the country. Government schemes like Production Linked Incentive for Electronics manufacturing Industry and Electronics manufacturing Clusters (EMC 2.0) aimed to boost local manufacturing and it is estimated that this will enable the industry grow at 30 percent year on year.
This trend is further expected to accelerate in electronics manufacturing with the focus of global companies on de-risking supply chain from China. India is being considered as one of the preferred countries for de-risking due to government initiatives like ‘MakeIn India for the World’ coupled with ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’. Given these trends, Ersa India is anticipating high double-digit growth in the region over the next few years.
Another target segment is the PCB assembly market which (according to a study by India Cellular & Electronics Association and E&Y) is expected to be worth $ 87 billion by 2025 from the present $ 16 billion. India is poised to become major PCBA export hub with an anticipated increase from $ 0.3 billion to 39 billion in the same period.
