The number of researchers in the manufacture of electronic components and boards in Germany is projected to grow consistently from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the actual figure stood lower than the forecasted 9.56 thousand full-time equivalents for 2024. The year-on-year growth rate reveals a steady increase of around 1.88% annually, indicating a stable upward trend in workforce size dedicated to research in this sector.

Looking forward, watch for:

Emerging technologies and their impact on researcher demand.
Increased investment in innovation, potentially accelerating growth beyond current forecasts.
The influence of global supply chain trends on research needs.
