Manufacture of consumer electronics

NACE v2.1 Code: C26.40

About manufacture of consumer electronics

NACE code 26.40 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 other audio-visual equipment. As technology continues to evolve, the consumer electronics industry remains at the forefront of innovation, driving advancements that enhance our daily lives and connect us to the digital world.

Production process

The manufacture of consumer electronics typically involves a multi-step process that combines advanced engineering, precision assembly, and sophisticated testing procedures. Key production techniques include the assembly of electronic components, the integration of software and hardware, and the implementation of quality control measures to ensure the reliability and performance of the final products.

Production inputs

The consumer electronics industry relies on a diverse range of inputs, including electronic components such as microprocessors, integrated circuits, and display panels. Additionally, the industry requires specialized machinery, tools, and equipment for the assembly and testing of these products. Raw materials like plastics, metals, and various types of cabling and wiring are also essential inputs for the manufacture of consumer electronics.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the consumer electronics industry are the finished products, such as televisions, audio systems, and other multimedia devices. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of NACE codes, including 47.43 Retail sale of audio and video equipment in specialised stores, 95.21 Repair of consumer electronics, and 62.01 Computer programming activities, as well as individual consumers.
