With a sales growth of 14.5% from 2024 to 2025 and stabilization of the employee level at around 25 employees, it appears that the sector has found a level. Brumunddal shows particularly high growth (14% annual) and higher operating margins, which may be an advantage for new actors. However, it is important to note that two of the four companies have zero employees and sales, which may indicate challenges for some actors.

The agricultural sector in Ringsaker has a much larger scope (21 companies vs 4 in electronics storage) and higher sales (NOK 152.4M in 2025 vs NOK 103.1M for electronics storage). Operational efficiency in agriculture is however more variable, with a decline of 11.1% from 2021 to 2022. Current peer companies in agriculture include:

Agriculture has higher sales, but electronics storage has better operating margins (average 2.5% vs agriculture's unknown). This may be an advantage for new actors in electronics storage.

Electronics storage in Ringsaker shows a stable, but not without challenges, sector. With four companies, combined sales exceeding NOK 100 million and stabilization of the employee level, it is possible to see potential for growth, especially in Brumunddal.
