Abstract
This Manufacturing Insights report details the latest IT trends, challenges,
and opportunities that will shape the high-tech manufacturing industry in 2008.
From reporting on the general health of the industry, zeroing in on the
fastest-growing geographic segments and top technology buyers, to key IT budget
and industry metrics, this guide gives manufacturers and vendors a bird' s-eye
view of everything they need to know to build a go-to-market plan for the
coming year.
The high-tech value chain is structured around rapidly iterating technology
cycles that form the underpinning for global products sold to both institutions
and consumers. Segments include semiconductor, contract manufacturing/other,
and high-tech equipment. Issues across these segments remain fairly consistent.
"The high-tech vertical represents industry segments that are dealing with a
huge number of new products each year, geographic expansion, and heightened
competition. Smart IT investment will be a major contributor for those
companies that realize success," said Bob Parker, VP research at Manufacturing
Insights.
