As the core of the global electronic information manufacturing industry, the Asia Pacific region has become a “battleground” for global electronic component distributors. Compared with international top distributors, local distributors, with their deep participation in the domestic electronic information manufacturing industry, can better understand the needs of domestic customers for electronic components. At the same time, they have localization advantages in business layout, manpower allocation, on-site technical support, and other aspects, thereby providing customers with higher quality comprehensive services. Especially since the outbreak of COVID-19, global trade frictions have been intensifying, and the position of domestic electronic component distributors in the industrial chain has been further highlighted.
Therefore, although domestic distributors, compared to some foreign distributors, still have shortcomings in terms of authorization resources, agency product lines, and information management due to factors such as late start, and the main original manufacturers of electronic components being foreign manufacturers, the global position of China’s electronic information manufacturing industry is constantly improving under the “unprecedented changes” facing the world, Domestic electronic component distributors are facing both opportunities and challenges, and the opportunities outweigh the challenges.
