NA Electronic Component Sales Sentiment Plunges to Lowest Level Since COVID Collapse
ATLANTA – ECIA has published the latest data from its Electronics Component Sales Trend survey (ECST). The indices from August 2022 and Q3 2022 reveal expectations that go from bad to worse as the industry moves through the 2nd half of 2022. The overall index average slumped from 94.7 in July to 86.0 in August. The one relatively bright spot is the expected stabilization of market sentiment in September as the outlook calls for a level of 88.4. Measurements below the benchmark level of 100 indicate negative sales growth.
