FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Positive Sales Sentiment Evaporates in November According to ECIA’s October Industry Pulse Survey
ECIA’s Industry Pulse: Electronic Component Trends and Sentiment October 2026
Atlanta – ECIA announces the results of the October Industry Pulse survey. The most notable result from ECIA’s October Industry Pulse survey is the collapse of confidence in sales sentiment looking toward November. While the actual results for October saw a modest decline of 10.4 points in the overall average, the overall index for the November outlook drops precipitously by 19.2 points to just 112.4. Passive components are seeing the most dramatic decline as sales sentiment sinks by over 40 points from the September results, hitting 100 in November expectations. This implies a neutral sentiment on growth.
“This is the steepest decline in the overall month-to-month index score since a drop of 20.1 points in June 2022, over four years ago,” commented ECIA Chief Analyst Dale Ford. “Hopefully, even if sales sentiment stalls as we approach the end of the year, it will prove to be a temporary situation that will be followed by a return to solid growth expectations as we enter 2027.”
