After declining by 5.9% in 2005 output for the Israeli electronics industry grew by 2.5% in 2006, 5.5% in 2007 and a more modest 1.7% in 2008. Output declined by a forecasted 4.6% in 2009 in response to the slowdown in the global economy but was stronger than originally forecast due to a stronger second half of the year. Growth in 2010 is forecast to reach 7.0% on the back of the recovery in global trade although there remains some downside risks, in particular a potential slowdown in Europe.

The electronics industry in Israel is heavily orientated towards supply of defence and communications requirements. Other main areas are medical equipment, control and instrumentation, and components. The production of consumer products is very limited.

Electronics production grew rapidly throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, initially due to the need to invest in sophisticated and complex electronic systems for defence purposes. The flow from the defence sector had led to the development of state of-the-art civilian applications. With the focus of the Israeli industry on high technology products there are a growing number of start-up companies, in particular in the communications, IT and defence sectors.

The country’s strength in niche applications enabled the industry to withstand the global downturn better than other countries focused on higher volume products.
