ATLANTA-- Sales sentiment for electronic components remained stable in March, with the Electronic Component Sales Trend (ECST) index declining 0.7 points sequentially to 112.5, the Electronic Components Industry Association said today.

The forecast for April indicates a slight dip to 111.3, according to the latest ECIA survey.

Despite the minor decrease, industry sentiment remains positive. "The sustained sales momentum is encouraging as 2025 progresses," said ECIA chief analyst Dale Ford. Expectations for component categories in April range closely between 108.4 and 112.9, reinforcing optimism for continued demand.

The ECST survey, conducted monthly and quarterly, tracks short-term industry expectations across the electronics component supply chain. It covers sales trends, product lead times, cancellations, and decommits across major component categories, semiconductor subcategories, and key end markets.
