EXAMPLES OF MARKET RESEARCH PROJECTS IN THE FIELD OF ELECTRONICS

Our company has been conducting market analysis and competitive analysis projects for numerous clients in the electronics and EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) industries since 2007. Below you will find numerous project examples of the markets and topics we have analyzed:

The market for industrial image processing is currently experiencing dynamic growth, and Germany is one of the leading nations in the development and use of image processing technologies in industry. Whether in mechanical and plant engineering, medical technology, security technology, or even traffic and transportation – industrial image processing systems make processes more efficient and secure. As part of a corporate transaction, we analyzed the European market for industrial image processing systems for a family office. Based on our analysis results, the family office prevailed in the bidding process and was awarded the contract to acquire the attractive medium-sized company.

In the market for specialty locks, the high reliability and security of products play a central role. At the same time, there is a continuing trend toward digital solutions. Traditional manufacturers of mechanical locks face the challenge of meeting these new customer requirements, networking their products, and offering digital solutions including the necessary hardware and software. As part of an M&A project, we analyzed the market for specialty locks and electronic locking technology in Germany and Europe for our client. Based on the market analyses, our client decided to acquire the company under review and is currently systematically expanding the locking technology manufacturer's market position with targeted investments and a new strategic direction.

The market for electronic security technology is a long-term, stable growth market. Since 2015, the market in Germany has grown at an average CAGR of 5.8%. Commercial security technology accounts for the lion's share of revenue, accounting for 90-95%. In addition to traditional manufacturers of security solutions (intrusion alarm systems, fire alarm systems, access control), new players from the building automation, smart home, and communications technology sectors are increasingly entering the market. For our client, a nationwide installer of security systems, we analyzed market potential and competitive positioning for the company's future strategic direction in the security technology market.

Broadband expansion in Germany is progressing steadily, although progress varies considerably from region to region. Forecasts predict annual growth of between 20 and 35% based on homes passed through 2025. Backbone expansion is already significantly more advanced than local network expansion, as significant investments in network expansion will be made in both areas in the coming years. For our client, a broadband technology provider, we examined the market status and prospects for future development.

The nationwide provision of high-speed internet throughout Germany is driving rapid demand for infrastructure components for broadband expansion. Our client, a leading manufacturer of cable manholes for fiber optic networks, commissioned us to conduct a systematic analysis of the market and competitive situation in the German market. Through approximately 100 structured interviews with decision-makers at municipal utilities, fiber optic network operators, telecommunications companies, and specialized civil engineering firms, we developed a robust overview of the market size, the client's market position, and growth potential for our client.

For a planned new development, we analyzed the global market potential for OLED lighting for a manufacturer of electronic control systems. Based on the results, the client was able to make an informed decision about market entry.

Augmented and virtual reality solutions are currently primarily known in consumer electronics, but are also becoming increasingly widespread in industry and companies.

The market for POS (point of sale) systems in retail is characterized by internationally available standard systems that are continuously being developed by established manufacturers. However, changing customer requirements and new trends in retail also offer opportunities for manufacturers of customized solutions. Against this backdrop, our client commissioned us to conduct a customized market analysis of the POS systems market, focusing specifically on the future requirements of leading retail chains such as Edeka, Aldi, Lidl, and Lekkerland.

Advanced Cargo Tracking Systems are sensor-based, cargo-related systems for monitoring transport conditions (e.g., temperature/humidity/light exposure/vibrations/shocks) and loading status (e.g., transport capacity utilization) for road, rail, and sea/air transport routes. They go beyond simple geo-tracking of cargo and enable the tracking of sensitive goods, e.g., in the automotive supply chain or during the transport of pharmaceuticals. The global market for cargo tracking systems encompasses several million units per year. The market is expected to grow by over 20% annually until 2023. For our client, we analyzed the market for advanced cargo tracking systems, identified the leading technology providers in the market, and developed market entry options for our customer.
