GlobalSources EMS Supplier Directory – 72k Products from 856 Vendors

It is the unit-level pricing and capability surface for outsourced electronics manufacturing: roughly 72,633 EMS and PCBA service listings from 857 suppliers, one record per listing, paginated at 80 items per page across roughly 908 result pages. The work on offer is the actual contract-manufacturing menu — PCBA assembly, SMT/DIP boards, turnkey manufacturing, IoT and consumer-electronics PCBA, conformal coating — alongside adjacent CNC machining, die casting and mold services offered by the same factories.

What makes the slice rare is that it quotes prices where almost everything else in the industry measures aggregates. Each record carries an FOB range in USD (quoted PCBA work clusters at US$1.00–10.00 per piece, with observed extremes from US$0.28–0.40 to US$261–283), a minimum order between 1 and 3,000 pieces, the vendor's legal name linked to its storefront, a Verified Manufacturer badge, a video indicator and trade-show markers like "Exhibited at 8 GS shows" with booth numbers. Geography concentrates hard: Shenzhen, Dongguan, Xiamen, Jinjiang and Zhejiang, with promoted manufacturers from India and Korea.

Rows read like the listing card they came from — one service, one vendor, one quoted price band. The three records below were captured verbatim from observed listings; they anchor the schema the way your sample will:

verified        false

Three things to notice about that shape. Price is a range, not a point — volume-dependent quotes are preserved as bounds instead of being flattened into an average. The MOQ sits beside the price because together they define the real entry ticket: US$1.00 at 3,000 pieces is a different commitment than US$1.00 at 1 piece. And verified is a boolean you can filter on, not marketing copy buried in prose. Every field below behaves the same way across all ~72,600 rows.

Eleven fields carry each listing, every one defined below against an observed example rather than inferred from a column header. Two fields do most of the analytical work: the FOB pair (fob_price_usd_min / fob_price_usd_max) turns "what does PCBA cost" from folklore into a distribution you can percentile, and verified_manufacturer gives you a platform-audited quality flag to stratify by before comparing price bands.

The rest are routing and enrichment: supplier_name joins listings into vendor-level views (857 companies, many listing multiple services), country supports geographic screens down to the cluster level, and trade_show_badge plus has_video act as soft engagement signals — a vendor exhibiting at eight Global Sources shows and filming its line is telling you something a price alone does not.

Fields beyond the eleven — longer capability descriptions, storefront metadata and other listing attributes — are available on request; ask for them when you request a sample.

Three chips summarize the footprint:

• Geography: Primarily China — Shenzhen, Dongguan, Xiamen, Jinjiang and Zhejiang — with India- and Korea-based manufacturers promoted alongside; factory country rides on every record.
• Temporal: Live marketplace state — vendors requote, rebadge and add services whenever they please, and there is no historical archive behind the directory, so any time-series ambition starts with capturing snapshots now.
• Granularity: One record per product/service listing — roughly 72,633 listings from 857 suppliers, 80 per page across roughly 908 pages — with price bands, MOQs and badge flags held as typed columns rather than pried out of display strings.

Set against the wider Datadory catalog — where the average quality score across all 1,747 datasets is 7.81 — this slice scores 7/10. Field definitions clear the verified bar that 85.6% of catalog records meet; the honest deductions are the single-format origin, the absence of history and vendor counts that drift week to week. Get a sample of this dataset and judge the rows yourself.

API, files, or your warehouse. Daily, weekly, or hourly.

You pick the channel and the cadence; the field dictionary above travels unchanged across all three. Structured payloads suit live sourcing monitors that alert on new quotes, bulk files suit overnight loads into the vendor-management system, and tabular extracts land in CSV- and SQL-friendly shapes for analysts benchmarking in a BI tool. Cadence changes are a settings conversation, not a re-integration project — and because there is no archive behind the marketplace, the cadence you choose is effectively the history you keep.

Ranked by how directly the directory answers the day job:

1. Sales and growth teams. Build the Shenzhen–Dongguan–Xiamen prospecting list from 857 named vendors with capability descriptions, badge status and storefront links attached — 72,633 listings collapse into a territory plan filtered by country, verification and service line. The sales growth teams use cases page expands the workflow.
2. Market researchers and consultants. Quote real FOB bands when benchmarking outsourced electronics costs instead of citing hearsay ranges; the min/max structure supports percentile analysis across the whole category.
3. Competitive intelligence and product teams. Watch rival contract manufacturers' listed capabilities, MOQs and price ranges change under them, and catch a competitor adding turnkey or conformal-coating lines before it shows up in their marketing. The competitive intel product teams use cases page covers the cadence.
4. E-commerce and sourcing operators. Shortlist PCBA and box-build partners by comparing quoted FOB ranges against MOQs before committing tooling spend — the two columns that define the true entry ticket.
5. Data scientists and ML engineers. Assemble an FOB-price/MOQ corpus across tens of thousands of listings for cost modeling, stratified by badge status and geography; see the data scientists use cases page.
6. Investors and quants. Read quoted price ranges across PCBA service listings as a ground-truth check on contract-manufacturing cost inflation, complementary to the aggregate industry indices.

For contrast inside the same industry: Census M3 – Manufacturers' Shipments, Inventories & Orders measures the domestic factory in monthly aggregates while this directory names individual vendors and quotes individual prices, and Global Electronics Association (IPC) – Statistical Programs & EMS Intelligence publishes participant-funded industry averages — unit-level market quotes versus industry indices is the whole trade-off, weighed side by side in the comparison of the two.

Notes that pair well with this page:

• Electronic manufacturing services data hub — the full pooled view of the industry, from trade cubes and factory aggregates to this supplier directory.
• FOB prices and MOQs: how to read electronics sourcing quotes — the methodology note behind turning min/max price bands and order minimums into comparable vendor economics.
• Census M3: US manufacturers' shipments, inventories and orders — domestic production beside outsourced quotes; the reshoring argument in two columns.
• Persona pages — what sales-and-growth, competitive-intel and data-science teams each do with this slice, industry by industry.
