In 2019, 95% of households owned a mobile phone, compared to 50% in 2000. We also learned that the same year, 95% of households owned at least one TV and 85% owned an internet connection.
The annual growth of the European market for electronic components should reach 7.7% in 2028, according to data from experts in the IT and telecommunications equipment field. The same year it should reach US$91.3 billion. We should witness a high and steady growth of the sector because of the proportion of automation in Industry 4.0, the continued prosperity of the Internet, and the wide application of electronics in manufacturing, automation and defense.
