In the electronics manufacturing world, precision matters — not just in engineering but in inventory management too. Every year, OEMs and EMS companies are left sitting on excess electronic components that tie up cash, occupy valuable storage space, and depreciate rapidly. If you’re wondering whether your unused stock is worth keeping “just in case,” it’s time to think again. The Hidden Cost of Excess Electronic Components Most manufacturers don’t plan to end up with surplus. But with long lead times, minimum order quantities, last-minute design changes, and customer cancellations, electronic components buyers are often left with more stock than they can use. Here’s the reality: Excess inventory drains your cash flow Holding costs silently grow each month (warehousing, insurance, depreciation) Deadstock takes up physical space needed for active projects Unused items risk obsolescence and lose market value quickly Holding onto electrical surplus might feel like a safe fallback, but in truth, it’s a costly anchor. Many businesses lose tens of thousands of dollars every year by storing products rather than selling them. Worse yet, when components finally hit the scrap bin, they've lost 80–95% of their original value. 💡 Pro tip: You don’t need to wait until the end of the year to deal with surplus — the sooner you act, the more value you recover. How to Sell Surplus Components Without the Hassle Many manufacturers try to deal with surplus electronic components through internal strategies first. These often seem practical at the start, but quickly prove to be inefficient or costly in the long run. Let’s break down the most common approaches, and why a better solution—connecting with electronic components buyers—saves both time and money. 1. Internal Solutions: Well-Intentioned, Often Inefficient a) Design Reuse or Redesign: Engineering teams may attempt to integrate unused parts into new product designs. While this can be effective in some scenarios, it requires significant coordination, design changes, and sometimes compromises product functionality or efficiency. b) Substitute in Production: Some manufacturers substitute excess parts in place of standard ones during production, assuming compatibility. But this strategy risks affecting product quality and increases the workload for inventory and QA teams. c) Incentive Programs or Giveaways: Others turn to creative ways to "consume" excess inventory—like internal promotions, employee giveaways, or bundling items as client gifts. Unfortunately, these methods don’t recover cash value and rarely reduce inventory significantly. These methods tie up internal resources, delay action, and often deliver minimal financial return. 2. External Handling Options: Complex, Risky, or Low Return a) Supplier Negotiation: Some companies try to return parts to suppliers, especially if the surplus stems from order errors or spec mismatches. But this depends on supplier terms, timing, and condition—most suppliers either reject returns or impose heavy penalties. b) B2B Resale or Peer Trading: Platforms like Alibaba or B2B marketplaces may offer a way to list electronic surplus for resale. However, these involve manual listing, uncertain demand, delayed payments, and pricing pressure—while exposing companies to lowball offers or counterfeit part concerns. c) Donation or Recycling: For components that hold no commercial value, donation or recycling becomes an option. While environmentally responsible, this approach recovers zero financial value and incurs additional logistics and compliance effort. d) Scrap or Write-off: As a last resort, companies scrap the components entirely. This is not only a loss of original investment, but it often comes with hidden costs—handling fees, disposal compliance, and environmental responsibility. 3. The Problem: Time, Value, and Resources Lost Each of the above options has one thing in common: they drain internal time, delay resolution, and rarely result in meaningful recovery of value. At scale, this leads to mounting inventory losses, bloated warehouses, and constrained cash flow. That’s why working with professional electronic components buyers is becoming the go-to solution for global manufacturers, OEMs, and EMS providers looking to dispose of surplus inventory—quickly, safely, and profitably.

(JW Insights) Jun 16 -- China will draft new policies to promote the development of industrial internet, a tech frontier where all major economies are scrambling to establish a beachhead, the country’s top industry regulator Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) said on June 15, according to China Daily. The comments came as the industrial scale of China's industrial internet exceeded RMB1.2 trillion ($167.7 billion). Zhang Yunming, Vice-Minister of MIIT, said in a speech at the 2023 Industrial Internet Conference in Suzhou, eastern China’s Jiangsu Province, that industrial internet is an important cornerstone of the fourth industrial revolution, a key foundation for the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, and a strategic infrastructure for new industrialization. Zhang called on local governments to increase collaboration with the ministry, and strengthen policy coordination and support in funding, technology, talent and data, in order to continuously optimize the policy environment for the innovation and development of industrial internet. Facing new situations, tasks and requirements, the ministry will study new policies to promote the high-quality development of industrial internet, Zhang added. According to him, as of now, China has nurtured 240 influential industrial internet platforms, and 28 of them are cross-industry and cross-domain platforms. Moreover, the country has built a comprehensive identification and analysis system for industrial internet, which has covered 31 provincial-level regions, serving over 260,000 enterprises, said the China Daily report.

(JW Insights) Jun 16 -- China’s spending on cloud infrastructure services grew 6% year-on-year in Q1 2023, reaching $7.7 billion and accounting for 12% of global cloud spend, said a Canalys estimate on June 15. Demand for cloud migration remained sluggish in China, with single-digit growth persisting for a third consecutive quarter. Chinese enterprises are cautious with IT budgets in the wake of a drop in pandemic restrictions, which reduced the need for remote work and online meetings. The slowdown in cloud consumption by existing customers and limited cloud investments from new customers resulted in slow-downed China’s cloud market growth rate, said Canalys. However, as ChatGPT sets off a wave of demand for AI, generative AI and AI Foundation Models are becoming highly sought after, and this is expected to unlock new growth opportunities in the cloud service market. Enterprises in China have shown limited enthusiasm when it comes to cloud adoption, predominantly focusing on the operational cost benefits cloud brings. A number of Chinese cloud vendors recently announced price reductions for their cloud services, with the goal of lowering the entry barrier for cloud adoption. More vendors are also starting to invest further in building cloud partner ecosystems in China. Cloud partners can help vendors cost-effectively access a wider customer base, particularly among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The leading players in China’s cloud infrastructure market maintained their market positions in Q1 2023. Alibaba Cloud, Huawei Cloud, Tencent Cloud, and Baidu AI Cloud remain as the top four vendors. Together, they accounted for 79% of total expenditure in China, with an increase of 6% year-on-year, said Canalys. While the focus on PaaS product portfolios has been increasing among many vendors since last year, China’s cloud services market is still dominated by Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). In Q1 2023, IaaS accounted for over three-quarters of the overall China cloud services market.
