Which PCBA supplier directories actually cover Shenzhen?
The scale is concrete. The EMS category holds 72,633 product listings from 857 suppliers (site-reported August 2026), paginated at 80 listings per page across roughly 908 pages. Geography skews exactly where PCBA buyers expect: Shenzhen, Dongguan, Xiamen, Jinjiang and Zhejiang, with India- and Korea-based manufacturers promoted alongside the Chinese core.
Nothing else among the slice's 8 primary datasets publishes supplier-level PCBA pricing. IPC reports industry aggregates, Census reports trade totals, and the remaining records are macroeconomic. That makes this directory the only named source here where a buyer can compare one vendor's quoted band against another's before any contact is made - a role worth remembering when you read the wider electronic manufacturing services data guide.
What can you read without logging in?
Anonymous browsing goes further than most marketplaces allow. Each listing exposes FOB price ranges, minimum order quantities, factory country and capability descriptions with no account required - the four fields a buyer needs to build a first-pass quote sheet.
How do you sanity-check a supplier before the RFQ goes out?
Marketplace claims are self-reported. Official trade statistics give you an independent floor, and three Census records carry it.
The Census Time-Series Exports by HS Code – Monthly API mirrors it outbound with 41 documented variables, adding shipping weight and transport mode - useful when a supplier claims regular shipments to North America and you want the district-level flow picture for HS chapter 85 commodities.
One caveat travels with the trade route. Prior FT900 press-release archives are not revised after publication, so cite the historical data products for revised figures rather than the original headlines.
A buyer who quotes HS 10-digit codes per component line can therefore estimate landed duty exposure independently of whatever duty assumption a supplier bakes into an FOB figure.
Can public data tell you when assembly capacity gets tight?
Lead times move with the contract-manufacturing cycle, and two cataloged series track it from opposite shores.
On the industry-association side, the Global Electronics Association (IPC) – Statistical Programs & EMS Intelligence releases monthly North American EMS shipments and a book-to-bill ratio by the end of the following month. Headline figures read free; splits by production type, company size tier and vertical market are restricted to statistical-program participants, and the Global EMS Industry Report 2025 is sold through the association store.
How do you build a Shenzhen RFQ pack from these sources?
A sourcing manager can run the whole sequence in an afternoon:
Steps 1-3 run entirely on free marketplace data; steps 4-5 run entirely on public-domain government series.

Is EMS sourcing data free to use?
Seven of the eight primary electronic-manufacturing-services datasets Datadory catalogs are free, including the GlobalSources directory's public browsing, the two commercial delivery terms Census HS-code APIs and the public-domain Census M3 survey. IPC's headline monthly EMS figures read free, but detail splits require statistical-program participation and the Global EMS Industry Report 2025 is sold outright.
