North American EMS Market Statistical Program Participating companies report basic sales and order data monthly and complete a more detailed quarterly survey. In exchange, they receive monthly and quarterly aggregate data files covering EMS sales growth by type of production and company size tier, order growth and backlogs by company size tier, vertical market growth, the EMS book-to-bill ratio, and 3-month and 12 month sales outlook.

IPC collects the company data in strict confidence through our partner, Vault Consulting. For statistical program details and historical EMS book-to-bill ratios, contact Shawn DuBravac, IPC's chief economist at ShawnDubravac@ipc.org.

“I really enjoy the IPC statistical reports and information. It’s a great way for us to measure our performance to the rest of the industry.”
