Report: Asia Producing 38 Percent of World's Electronics
Electronics output in the Asia-Pacific region increased to 38 percent of the global total in 2005, according to the most recent Yearbook of World Electronics, published by market research company Reed Electronics Research (Oxon, England).
This number is up dramatically from 10 years ago, when the region produced only 20 percent of the world's electronics products. Most significantly, China's market share during this time period grew from 3 percent to 16 percent of the world total.
