Europe’s electrification wave—renewable-energy expansion, EV adoption, grid modernisation and industrial electrification—has created a structural surge in demand for power-electronics components. Inverters, charger modules, battery housings, thermal-management systems, switchgear, power-distribution panels and DC fast-charging infrastructure all require sophisticated mechanical and electrical manufacturing capabilities. Serbia is exceptionally well-positioned to capture a significant share of this market—but only

Serbia’s electrical-equipment industry has undergone a quiet transformation over the past decade, evolving into one of the country’s most sophisticated and export-oriented sectors. Cable harnesses, control cabinets, LV/MV panels, inverter housings, transformer enclosures and renewable-energy components are now shipped across Europe, forming a crucial part of Serbia’s industrial identity. But as the industry scales, its

The next great competitive frontier for Serbia is not only in factory floors or engineering centres, but in the creation of a renewable-powered industrial corridor stretching across the country’s most strategically positioned manufacturing zones. Serbia stands at a pivotal point: its fabrication and machinery sectors are increasingly integrated into European supply chains, yet they face

Serbia’s industrial expansion toward 2030 increasingly reflects a simple equation: export growth follows the €/MWh curve. If electricity prices remain stable and competitive, Serbia’s fabrication, electronics and machinery sectors could collectively add more than €10bn to annual exports. If electricity costs rise unpredictably or decarbonisation efforts lag, these sectors may lose momentum precisely when EU

For decades, Serbia—and much of Eastern Europe—relied on competitive labour costs as the primary attractor of foreign direct investment. Manufacturing firms came for affordability, engineering talent and geographic proximity. But the global industrial model has shifted. Labour cost is no longer the primary differentiator. Today, the decisive factor shaping investment flows, export competitiveness and nearshoring

Serbia’s industrial trajectory toward 2030 will be determined not by labour costs, factory automation levels or investor incentives alone, but increasingly by the cost, stability and carbon profile of electricity. As Europe restructures its entire supply chain architecture around green transition rules, CBAM obligations and resilience requirements, Serbia’s manufacturing map is being redrawn in megawatt-hours.
