Despite being the largest in Europe, the UK electronics and electrical sector is undergoing significant transformation and disorder following increasingly demanding market conditions, policy and regulation. The majority of production in large volume manufacturing has moved overseas to lower-cost producer countries, with no foreseeable circumstances in which this class of manufacturing will return to the UK. Furthermore, Government plans to switch to digital terrestrial broadcasting between 2008-2012 have generated huge supply chain challenges as consumers shift towards Integrated Digital TVs, Set Top Boxes and digital recording equipment such as hard drive Personal Video Recorders. However, things aren’t all bleak, with the associated huge opportunity for manufacturers, and the UK remaining at the forefront of electronic design and innovation on a global scale, supported by a cohesive and esteemed society of university driven and independent research.
