Summary

This Manufacturing Insights report details the latest IT trends, challenges, and opportunities that will impact the high-tech manufacturing industry in 2009. From reporting on the general health of the industry to zeroing in on the fastest-growing geographic segments and top technology buyers to providing 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.
