The data for 2023 reveals that Taiwan leads the sector with 84.96k full-time equivalent personnel dedicated to internal R&D in the manufacture of electronic components and boards, followed by Japan and South Korea. Germany holds the top position in Europe, but significantly lags behind Asian countries. Other European nations like the UK and Italy present modest figures. Year-on-year, Czech Republic shows a notable 25.24% increase, despite lower overall numbers. Growth was also marked in Slovenia, Norway, and South Korea, while declines were noted in the UK, Canada, and Romania.
Looking forward, expect growth for Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea due to strong technological advancement and export activities. European countries may prioritize increasing R&D, leveraging regional collaboration to boost competitiveness in the electronics sector.
