The Communication Equipment Manufacturing industry in Australia is constrained by a small local market, high costs, a lack of locally sourced components and heavy import competition. The industry is characterised by high levels of imports, especially from Asian markets such as China, Taiwan and Vietnam. These low-cost leaders have dominated the domestic communications equipment scene, with low-cost functional products pushing many domestic players out of the mass production of generic communication equipment (such as modems and telephone equipment).
Companies in this industry manufacture telecommunication, broadcasting and transceiving equipment. Major products include telecommunication exchange equipment, telecommunication transmission equipment (except cable), telecommunication customer premises equipment (e.g. telephones, private exchanges, modems, routers) and broadcasting equipment (such as transceivers and transmitters).
The report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecast, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
