Indian Electronic Manufacturing Wave

We expect the EMS industry to register a strong growth in the foreseeable future driven by the following: (1) Currently, ~80% of PCB/PCBA and Box INITIATING COVERAGE

Driven by the above-mentioned factors, we believe the EMS industry would grow at above 25% CAGR over the next few years. Also, we expect the Market Cap Rs. 87bn ($1,063mn)
leading industry players to grow at a similar rate. 52-wk High-Low Rs. 1,627-625

Among the 3 listed EMS players, namely, Kaynes, Syrma SGS, and Avalon, we believe that Syrma SGS & Kaynes would report a faster growth of 28% / Bloomberg SYRMA IN

Stock Performance (%)
▪ Large addressable import substitution opportunity for domestic EMS players –The non-mobile domestic EMS market is estimated to be ~Rs. 400-

500bn in size, with the current revenue contribution from the well-known large players(both listed/unlisted) in India amounting to only ~Rs. 100bn. The 1m 3m

and end-user sectors like telecom equipment, air conditioners, are resulting in a reduction in imports, an increase in domestic sourcing, and an
AVALON 22.1 0.0 515
expansion of the addressable market for EMS players. We expect the domestic EMS market to grow at over 25% CAGR in the next few years.
▪ Global firms shifting sourcing from China to benefit EMS players – In an effort to reduce the risk of dependence on China, global firms (especially US & RESEARCH ANALYSTS
European) have started to source electronics/electronic products from other countries including India. The higher labour costs in China compared to Ravi Swaminathan
India, coupled with the recent govt. incentives aimed at encouraging Indian companies to establish manufacturing operations and achieve scale, are ravi.s#@avendusspark.com
creating greater export opportunities for EMS players in India. In the past few years, exports for these companies have grown at 25% CAGR (excluding +91 44 4344 0058

Indian Electronic Manufacturing Wave

▪ Higher electronic content to expand addressable market –There is a marked rise in electronic content across end-user categories such as automobiles, consumer durables, industrial,
and telecom, among others. In automobile, electronic content per vehicle is likely to treble due to transition towards electric vehicles. In consumer durables, growth of inverter air
conditioners, BLDC fans, etc. is driving the demand for PCB/PCBA. In industrials, the shift from analog to smart meters and the adoption of digital displays in capital goods equipment
are contributing to growth of electronic components.
▪ Comparison among the three players – We believe strong revenue growth potential (>20% CAGR) exists for all three players. We expect Syrma SGS and Kaynes to grow at 28%/ 25%
CAGR respectively over FY23-FY27E due to higher domestic presence, increased market share in fast-growing categories like automobiles & consumer durables and participation in
PLIs in telecom/white goods. Avalon has a higher share of export/international presence (especially in US) and should see revenue growing at ~20% CAGR over FY23-FY27. Avalon,
Kaynes, & Syrma SGS have an average post tax RoIC of 24%, 22% and 16% respectively over the same period.
