The results of the October Industry Pulse survey reveal that overall sales sentiment was sustained at a strong level in October with an overall index average of 122.2, an increase of four points from September. However, the overall sentiment looking forward to November collapses by 18.7 points, down to 103.5, according to survey results.
“While a slowdown in month-to-month expectations for sales growth as we approach the end of the year is not surprising, the steep decline in the index average is startling,” noted ECIA Chief Analyst Dale Ford. “The Industry Pulse sees the market slamming on the brakes as we approach the end of 2025.”
ECIA’s Industry Pulse: Electronic Component Trends and Sentiment provides highly valuable and detailed visibility on industry expectations in the near-term through the monthly and quarterly surveys. This ‘immediate’ perspective is helpful to participants up and down the electronics components supply chain.
