In order to gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research process. CEOs, VPs of operations, chief technology officers, and heads of business development from contract manufacturers, ODMs, and EMS providers were examples of supply-side suppliers. Demand-side sources included supply chain directors from network infrastructure providers, procurement leaders from telecom equipment manufacturers, consumer electronics brands, automakers, and industrial automation firms. Market segmentation, capacity expansion schedules, outsourcing tendencies, pricing tactics, and supply chain resilience dynamics were all confirmed by primary research.
