According to a new report published by Semiconductor Insight, the global Tablet and Notebook PC ODM and EMS market was valued at USD 94.42 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 153.54 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% during the 2026–2034 forecast period. Original design manufacturers take responsibility for substantial portions of product engineering and manufacturing on behalf of branded PC companies, while electronics manufacturing services providers focus more heavily on production, assembly, testing and supply-chain execution — and AI PCs are now creating an entirely new platform cycle for both.

Why Is Demand Increasing

•           AI PC penetration is accelerating fast: Lenovo reported AI PCs at 33% of its PC shipments in Q2 FY2025/26, while Compal’s 2025 annual report cites enterprise refresh plus AI adoption as key 2025 drivers, with global notebook shipments reaching 202 million units.
•           Geographic diversification is now a customer requirement rather than a preference — Compal is expanding Taiwan and Vietnam capacity while preparing a Texas facility for mass production in the second half of 2026, and Quanta already spans Taiwan, China, Thailand, Vietnam, the United States, Mexico and Germany.
•           Notebook PC programs remain the largest type because global brands continue to outsource substantial engineering, procurement and production-ramp responsibility to specialist ODMs rather than build in-house capacity.

Fab & Technology Pulse: AI Notebooks Reset the ODM Engineering Bar

The competitive story in tablet and notebook manufacturing has shifted from pure assembly execution to AI-platform engineering depth. NPU-enabled architectures require coordinated motherboard, thermal, battery and firmware work that goes well beyond a conventional final-assembly relationship, and ODMs that can shorten validation cycles for AI notebooks are capturing more design content per program. Quanta and Compal illustrate the scale economics at play — Quanta reported 45.9 million notebook shipments in 2024 across a network spanning Asia, North America and Europe, while Compal reported 52.5 million 5C product shipments in 2025 and is simultaneously raising the contribution of non-PC businesses such as AI servers. That diversification can improve margins and reduce PC-cycle exposure, but brand customers are increasingly evaluating whether a contractor can preserve notebook execution quality while investing aggressively in higher-growth adjacent businesses. China-based design manufacturers including Huaqin and Wingtech compete through lower cost and faster reference designs, concentrated in tablets, education devices and emerging-market notebooks where turnkey speed can matter more than a decades-long brand relationship.

Segmentation highlights:

•           By type: Tablet and Notebook PC, with notebooks forming the larger commercial base given broader premium, gaming, commercial and AI-enabled product ranges.
•           By service model: ODM (design, engineering and manufacturing under brand specification) and EMS (contract manufacturing and supply-chain execution).
•           By application: Consumer Electronics (dominant) and Military, the latter requiring stronger configuration control, security review and ruggedization.

Regional outlook: Asia Pacific remains the largest manufacturing base because the leading ODM headquarters, engineering talent and component ecosystems are concentrated in Taiwan and China, even as production diversifies to Vietnam, Thailand, Mexico and the United States. North America is the largest brand and customer hub, shaping product timing and configuration through enterprise refresh and AI-PC adoption trends.

Competitive landscape: Tier 1 suppliers Quanta, Compal, Wistron, Pegatron, Foxconn and LCFC dominate through global-scale factories and major-brand relationships. Tier 2 players Huaqin, Wingtech and Inventech compete on cost structure and expanding customer portfolios, while specialists Baolongda Group, Emdoordigi and Chuwi focus on value devices, smaller programs and flexible turnkey designs.
