These areas include aerospace, defence, cars, medical equipment and industrial products.
The company also wants to make more parts itself instead of buying them from others.
It plans to expand partnerships in computers, phones and telecommunications.
Dixon expects new display and camera factories to slowly help its profits.
Its camera-module capacity could rise from 70 million units to as many as 190 million units.
The company is considering a partnership with Taiwan’s Gemtek Technology to make optical transceivers.
It also wants to build stronger engineering skills and serve the growing demand for data centres and AI equipment.
Dixon Technologies plans to pursue high-value opportunities in aerospace, defence, automotive, medical and industrial products.
The company is prioritising backward integration, joint ventures in IT hardware, telecom and mobiles, and export growth.
Display and camera-module facilities are expected to gradually improve margins as production ramps up.
Dixon aims to increase camera-module capacity from 70 million to 180-190 million units over the next few years.
The company is exploring a 60:40 venture with Gemtek Technology and targeting enterprise servers, data centres and AI infrastructure.
