Manufacture of consumer electronics

NACE v2.1 Code: C26.4

About manufacture of consumer electronics

NACE code 26.4 covers the manufacture of consumer electronics, a vital industry that plays a crucial role in the global economy. This sector encompasses the production of a wide range of electronic devices designed for personal or household use, such as televisions, radios, speakers, and various multimedia equipment. As technology continues to evolve, the consumer electronics industry remains at the forefront, driving innovation and meeting the ever-changing demands of modern consumers.

Production process

The manufacture of consumer electronics typically involves a multi-step process. It begins with the assembly of electronic components, such as integrated circuits, resistors, and capacitors, which are then integrated into the final product. Advanced techniques like surface-mount technology and automated assembly lines are commonly employed to ensure efficiency and precision. Quality control measures, including testing and inspection, are crucial throughout the production process to maintain high standards and reliability.

Production inputs

The consumer electronics industry relies on a variety of inputs, including raw materials like metals, plastics, and semiconductors, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for assembly and testing. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce with expertise in electronics, engineering, and design to develop and produce the innovative products that consumers demand.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the consumer electronics industry are the various electronic devices designed for personal or household use, such as televisions, radios, speakers, and multimedia equipment. These products are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 47.4 Retail sale of information and communication equipment in specialised stores, 95.2 Repair of personal and household goods, and 62.0 Computer programming, consultancy and related activities.
