Exhibitions in Switzerland for Electric & Electronics

Switzerland faces a challenging transition period after the pandemic in its electronics industry. The consumer electronics segment, in particular, is expected to experience a slight annual decline of -0.22% between 2024 and 2028, despite generating a revenue of $3,071.0 million in 2024. Still, the situation is not dire as Swiss interest in personal electronics remains robust. In fact, computing leads the market with a volume of $1,002.0 million in 2024. In this liquid market, a significant merger has captured the world’s attention. A Swiss law firm recently facilitated a cross-border merger between consumer electronics company TE Connectivity and TE Connectivity plc, an industrial technology giant headquartered in the Republic of Ireland. With over 85,000 employees worldwide, TE Connectivity specializes in providing sensor and connectivity solutions crucial for advancing next-generation medical technology, renewable energy, and transportation industries. Under the merger agreement, TE Connectivity plc will be TE’s publicly traded parent company, resulting in a jurisdictional shift from Switzerland to Ireland. Switzerland will retain its pivotal role as TE’s leadership hub for critical operational and strategic functions. The merger signals a strategic realignment within TE Connectivity, positioning the company for enhanced operational efficiency and global competitiveness. By utilizing the strengths of both entities, TE Connectivity aims to reinforce its position as a leader in industrial technology. The merger, then, can be considered as a significant milestone as Switzerland seeks to adapt in the face of changing market dynamics and a positive signal that the country’s electronics industry will be well on its way to recovery. The merger also ensures that Switzerland will remain relevant when it comes to innovation and shaping the future of the electronics industry, both domestically and on the global stage.
