LONDON – An upcoming Frost & Sullivan briefing will focus on the Ukrainian electronics manufacturing market, the research firm announced.

The briefing will be held on Sept. 23 at 3 pm BST.

Ukraine is spearheading the recovery of electronics manufacturing in Eastern Europe, offering one of the region's lowest labor rates and proximity to key East European markets like Hungary, Slovakia, Poland and the CIS countries. Many key EMS companies have recognized Ukraine as an attractive destination for electronics assembly, the firm said.

“Ukraine has witnessed the advent of many key Tier 1 EMS companies as well as OEMs in primary vertical markets over the past decade," said Harish Natesan, Frost & Sullivan’s Research Analyst from Electronics & Security group. "However, concerns over corruption continue to deter many EMS companies from investing in Ukraine. These days, when the recession is forcing companies to optimize their reserves, Ukraine is expected to attract significant investments in the EMS segment."

The briefing will include macroeconomic analysis, analyses of the OEM and EMS markets, revenue forecasts for the market segments, and a view of the market from the supplier and end-user perspective.
