Overview: In 2024, laptop manufacturing in key countries grew by a single-digit YoY, with China holding around 4/5 of global production, followed by Vietnam and Taiwan. Despite recent US tariff exemptions on laptops, uncertainty remains, especially with potential new duties on tech products. Consequently, laptop ODMs/EMSs are expected to continue moving manufacturing from China to countries like Vietnam and India, while Latin America may see a rise in local manufacturing orders by 2025, despite higher costs.
