On behalf of the organizing committee of the largest electronics exhibition in Russia ExpoElectronica and the ExpoCifra exhibition, we congratulate the industry leaders and specialists on the Electronics Industry Worker's Day!
I would like to wish further growth and prosperity to all enterprises in the industry, as well as the achievement and overfulfillment of all set goals! ExpoElectronica exhibition continues to actively work for you and present the latest trends on its platform. We will tell you about the industry trends below. Today, conditions have developed in Russia for increasing the share of application of Russian electronic component base and software in industrial and consumer electronics. The industry is actively working in this direction, which is noted at the state level.
There is interaction between producers and consumers of the Russian electronic component base (hereinafter referred to as ECB) in key areas, which tends to strengthen and develop. Further elimination of organizational, communication and information barriers will contribute to the development of Russian microelectronics and the field of high technologies in general.
In anticipation of the 10th Russian forum "Microelectronics 2024", ITE Group and its partner, industrial marketing agency TraceMarket, conducted a survey among participants and visitors of the ExpoElectronica exhibition. The purpose of the study was to identify the main problems and obstacles to increasing the use of domestic electronic components (DEC), as well as to find out the opinion of experts on effective ways of development in this area. The survey was conducted among market representatives, including manufacturers and distributors of electronic components, domestic manufacturers of DEC and electronics manufacturers. 301 respondents were surveyed, which made it possible to obtain accurate data with an error of +/- 5% (at a confidence level of 95%). "We are seeing a high demand for marketing research and analytics in the electronics industry, and industry exhibitions such as ExpoElectronica provide a unique opportunity to quickly track industry trends," emphasized Anton Bolshakov, CEO of the industrial marketing agency TraceMarket.
The survey results were presented and discussed by experts at the Microelectronics Forum as part of the round table "Achievements of domestic microelectronics under sanctions. What will we have time to do by ExpoElectronica 2025?"
Here's a summary of the survey results and an analysis of industry trends for 2024.

Dynamic changes : In 2023, the volume of the Russian market for radio-electronic products reached RUB 2.63 trillion, increasing by 1.6 times compared to 2020. By the end of 2024, the production volume is projected to be RUB 2.80 trillion.
Taxes and insurance premiums : The special tax rate on profits for electronics developers and the reduced insurance premium rate of 7.6% are extended for 3 years. For microelectronics manufacturers from the specialized register of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, a preferential profit tax rate is currently in effect - 3% for the federal and 0% for the tax to the regional budget. In 2023, this allowed Russian companies to save 70 billion rubles.
Import substitution : Russian electronics has been changing under the influence of import substitution since 2022, focusing on the development of high technologies and the creation of its own products. At the same time, it strives to avoid isolation and maintain international partnerships.
Demand for Electronics Development : The demand for electronics development and manufacturing is growing rapidly. Contract development companies as well as ODM companies have recorded a significant revenue growth of up to 2.5 times in 2023. Electronics contract manufacturing (EMS) has also grown by 42% in 2023.
Personnel : The growing electronics industry creates a steady demand for qualified personnel. Projects to create "Advanced Engineering Schools" and "Youth Laboratories" in the field of radio electronics, of which there are already 60, will receive and continue to receive state support. It is planned to create another 50 new such projects. Financing for these projects over the next three years will amount to 40 billion rubles.
Support for microelectronics : Over 4 years, more than 430 billion were allocated from the budget to support the microelectronics industry in the Russian Federation.
Changes in export : Russian companies are striving to develop export directions, which is facilitated by the active growth of IT in Russia and the availability of their own solutions comparable with global analogues and capable of competing in the global market.
