While the United States may have been the initial leader in manufacturing electronic components, the country no longer has the global lead. Admittedly, many of the top global companies are an amalgamation of a number of companies including formerly US based ones.
As of 2020, the United States was the third largest manufacturer behind China and Hong Kong. China makes about 23% of all exported electronic components, according to 2017 numbers from Investopedia. The United States did an annual 6.8% of the total electronic component market in 2017. Below are the top 10 US companies in the electronics component industry.
