Ukraine’s electronics industry - Analysis of potential in light of economic recovery

As a sector, global electronics is poised for a decade of growth, and Europe has an opportunity to reposition itself closer to the center of the industry. The associated growth in the upstream demand for semicon- ductors will bring along with it a need for greater supply of downstream components and platforms. 

Ukraine has been and continues to be a “home” for several sectors. In addition to software and IT services, several companies from the electronics value chain have established research centers and manu-facturing facilities in Ukraine, and several are in operation today. In this analysis, we look into the areas of the electronics value chain that are in high demand/have sourcing diversification needs, the typical investment location selection criteria for electronics players, and how Ukraine performs against these criteria.

In our analysis, we draw upon both our detailed data analyses of country-level competitiveness across cost and strategy dimensions as well as our interviews with and survey of electronics leaders.
