1.2 INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

INDUSTRY PROFILE

Electronics is one of the fastest expanding fields in research,

application development and commercialization. Substantial growth in this
field, has occurred due to World War II, the invention of the transistor, the
space program and now the computer industry. The research grants are high,
jobs are available and there is much money to be made in areas related to
electronics with the beginning of the “Information Superhighway” and
computerized video coming to your home, it is hard to imagine that electronics
will not continue to expand in future. Electronics is everywhere in our lives.
India is the fifth largest economy in the world war and has the largest GDP
among emerging economics. Owing to its large population, the potential
customer demand is almost unlimited and consequently under appropriate
condition, strong growth performance can be expected. In fact, the liberalization
of the economy in 1991has led to rapid growth. The electronics industry in
particular is emerging as one of the most important industry in the Indian
market.

The electronic industry in India dates back to the early 1960s. Electronics
was initially restricted to the development and maintenance of the fundamental
communication system including Radio Broadcasting, telephonic and
telegraphic communication and Augmentation of Defense capabilities. Until
1984, the electronic sector was primarily Government. 1980s witnessed a rapid

4
growth of the electronic industry due to sweeping economic chances, resulting
in the liberalization and Globalization of the country.

HISTORY

The electric power industry began in 19th century and this led to
the development of all manner of inventions. Gramophones were an early
invention and this was followed by radio transmitters and receivers and
televisions. The first digital computers were built in the 1940s with a slow
development in technology and total sales. In the 1970s and 1980s, the vacuum
tube, was largely supplanted by semiconductor components as the fundamental
technology of the industry. In the 1990s the personal computer became popular.
A large part of the electronics industry is now involved with digital technology.

The industry now employs a large number of electronic engineers and

electronic technicians to design, develop, test, manufacture, install and repair
electrical and electronic equipments such as communication equipment,
medical monitoring devices, navigational equipment and computers. Common
parts manufactured are connectors, system components, cell systems, computer
accessories and these are made of alloy steel, copper, brass, stainless steel,
plastic, steel tubing and other materials.

Indian electronic industry dates back to the early 1960s. electronics was one
industry initially restricted to the development and maintenance of fundamental
communication system including radio broadcasting, telephonic and
telegraphic communication and augmentation of defense capabilities,
until1980s witnessed a rapid growth of the electronics industry due to sweeping
economic changes, resulting in liberalization and globalization of the economy.

5
The economic transformation all over the world was motivated by 2 compelling
factors, the determination to boost economic growth and to accelerate the
development of export-oriented industries like the electronic industry.

WORLD SCENARIO

The world wide electronic industry is experiencing

phenomenal and remarkable changes these days. The world wide electronic
industry is distinguished by fast technological advances and has grown rapidly
than most other industries over the past 30 years.

Globally, during the early 2000s, end users of passive electronic components
like capacitors namely original equipment manufacturers were applying
continuous pressure on the industry to lower prices. This had a devastating
impact on profitability, as many capacitor manufactures were forced to produce
components at or below the cost of production. In addition, the industry was
forced to contend with a generally weak economic climate, heightened
competition from the likes of Asia, and downturns in leading and markets like
telecommunications equipment and computers. These negative conditions led to
workforce reductions, consolidations, plant closures, and a reduction in overall
capital spending and production capacity.

INDIAN SCENARIO

The electronic industry has developed mainly after independence. It covers a

wide range of products including transistor sets, telephone exchanges,
televisions, telecommunication, computers and various equipments for posts
and telegraph, defense, railway and meteorological departments. The
electronics industry has revolutionized the lifestyle of the people throughout the

6
world. The electronics industry in India started with radio manufacturing in the
1850s. The setting up of the Indian telephone industry in 1950s at Bangalore
gave a boost to this industry. It now meets the needs of post and telegraph,
defence, railways, electricity boards etc. There are more than 100 units in the
private sector producing electronic and telecommunication equipments. The
Indian electronics industry is also helping the development and growth of space
technology.

India produced electronic goods worth more than 70000 crores in 2001-2002.
Bangalore is the largest center of electronics goods production, and is rightly
called the ‘Electronic Capital of India’. It is expected that the software exports
would account for about half of the total foreign earnings of India.

The electronic industry of India constitutes just 0.7% of the global electronic
industry. However the demand in the Indian market is growing rapidly and
investments are flowing in to augment manufacturing capacity. India however
remains a major importer of electronic materials, components and finished
equipment amounting to over US$12 Billion in 2005. The output of the
electronic hardware industry is worth $11.6 billion in the year 2007. India is
also an exporter of a vast range of electronic components and products for tire
following segments of display technologies, entertainments electronic optical
storage devices, passive components, EMS etc.

In the 1960s, the U.S. consumer electronics industry went into decline as
manufactures were unable to compete with the quality and pricing of foreign
products, especially the electronic goods produced by Japanese companies such
as Sony and Hitachi. By the 1980s, however, US manufactures became the

7
world leaders in semiconductor development and assembly. The govt. is
supporting the Indian Electronics Hardware Technology park.

STATE SCENARIO

The state government had earlier brought out an electronic system. Design and
manufacturing policy to boost the sector in the state. Kerala’s GDP grew an
impressive10.3%between 1999-00 and 2005-06 reach US$24.44 billion. In the
electronic industry there has been 30% growth in domestic demand for
electronic goods. A self-contained electronics technology park, Trivandrum has
been established which is fast attracting electronics manufacturers worldwide.

The state has an advantage of the availability of skilled and semi skilled
workers for the electronics industry. The government of India has launched the
Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidhyautikaran covering 14 district of kerala US$49.3
million sanctioned to implement the scheme during first phase covering seven
districts.

CURRENT SCENARIO

The present position of electronics and IT hardware industry has been clearly
depicted in the report of the national task force on information technology and
software development. Electronics manufacturing is facing both challenges and
opportunities in 2017-18. The need to control costs continues to be a priority for
manufactures, while new technologies enter the landscape providing revenue
opportunities but requiring manufactures to partner with technology solution

8
providers and other organizations that can supply capabilities outside of the
company’s core focus.

The nature of electronic trends in 2017-18 is such that every trend comes along
with challenges. Electronics manufactures will focus while balancing the need
to control costs, integrated technologies outside of their primary areas of
expertise, and meet customer demands for more efficient, eco-friendly
manufacturing process and electronics.

The pressure is on manufacturers to adopt green manufacturing process while

simultaneously producing electronics that are less expensive to use thanks to
lower energy demands. Electronics manufacturing overall is expected to
experience slow growth in early 2017, according to data published in January
2017 by IPC Association connecting electronic industries. “ based on three-
month rolling averages, printed circuit boards (PCB). While the electronics
manufacturing services industry in North America maintained solid positive
growth.

MILESTONES

According to the manufacturing industries, the electronic industry occupies a

key position in modern science and technology. It plays a vital role in the field
of atomic energy, communication, defense, education, entertainment and space
technology. Until 1970s the electronic industry was the most protected of all the
Indian industries. At the point of the time country’s electronic policy strongly
discouraged. This resulted in the electronic industry being highly under
developed till the late 1980s. The country was considered very inefficient
producing outdated and low quality models at a very high cost. Policy reforms
were irritated in the early 1990s with the liberalization of trade and industry

9
sectors, with the change in the policy regimes after liberalization, the industry
experienced restructuring. Man power requirements compelled the British to
pass the ‘Indian Defense Force Act’ in 1917 which provided for creation of the
university corps (UC) as a constituent of the British Indian Defense Forces.

clearly defined strategy in motion encompassing its core strengths: experienced
human resources, robust infrastructure for high quality manufacture,
commitment to quality, and continuous research and development.

MANAGEMENT

10
KELTRON is a public sector enterprise owned by the government of Kerala
and is managed by a board of directors.

PORTER’S 5 FORCES ANALYSIS

The Five Competitive Forces analysis model was developed by Michael E.

Porter in his book called “Competitive Strategy”, Techniques for Analyzing

11
Industries and Competitors in 1980. Since that time the 'five forces tool' has
become an important method for analyzing an organizations industry structure
in strategic processes. Porter identified five competitive forces that shape every
single industry and market. These forces help us to analyze everything from the
intensity of competition to the profitability and attractiveness of an industry.
The five key areas namely;
1. The threat of entry,
2. The power of buyers,
3. The power of suppliers,
4. The threat of substitutes, v. Competitive rivalry.

I. THREAT OF NEW ENTRANTS

The easier it is for new companies to enter the industry, the more cut throat competition
there will be. Factors that can limit the threat of new entrants are known as barriers to
entry. The threat of new entries will depend on the extent to which there are
barriers to entry.
 Government legislation and action.
 Brand loyalty of customers.
 Distribution channels are controlled by existing players.
 Legislation and government action.

II. BARGAINING POWER OF SUPPLIERS

The pressure suppliers brought in business. Supplier bargaining power is likely

to be high when
 The market is dominated by a few large suppliers rather than a
fragmented source of supply

12
  There are no substitutes for the particular input
 The products being produced by Keltron are mostly controlled by
government, no any other supplier.
III. BARGAINING POWER OF BUYERS

This is how much pressure customers can place on a business. The bargaining
power of customers determines how much customers can impose pressure on
margins and volumes. In case of Keltron its major customers are the
government mainly traffic police as well as ISRO hence the bargaining power
of buyers is moderate because there are large players in the market.

IV. THREAT OF SUBSTITUTES

 A threat from substitutes exists if there are alternative products with

lower prices or better performance parameter for the same purpose. With
the fast growing technology the number of substitute are gradually
increasing.

 Buyer have huge propensity to substitute if any firm provide more

technologically advanced product.

V. RIVALRY AMONG EXISTING COMPETITORS

This describes the intensity of competition between existing firms in an

industry. Highly competitive industries generally earn low returns because the

13
cost of competition is high. Despite that Keltron has competitors between the
existing firms it has a low market growth.

The internship at keltron helps me to understand the various functions in an

organization and how it is connected with our management theories. I got a
good idea about the history and profile of “KELTRON” to enlarge my idea in
the business world. And also the study has given an insight in to the working of
an organization engaged in the production of electronic equipment. Here in this
study, I also found the problems faced by most public sector undertakings. I
wish all the very best for the company and I once again express my gratitude to
