June ECST Electronic Components Sales Sentiment Disappoints but Optimism Returns in July Outlook
ECIAs Electronic Component Sales Trend (ECST) June 2024 Survey Results

Atlanta — For the second month in a row, the ECST survey delivered disappointing, declining results as the overall component index fell by 13.4 points in the June survey to slip below the 100-point threshold down to 98.9 points on the index. The combined decline of over 25 points across May and June erased all upward progress that had been achieved since the start of the year in January.

“Once again, survey respondents expect a rebound in July with the outlook calling for an improvement of 13 points, recovering to 111.9,” explained ECIA Chief Analyst Dale Ford. “However, after two consecutive months of major forecast misses, confidence in this outlook is shaky at best. Market sentiment for the first half of 2024 has essentially been reset to where it started the year. Hope for 2024 is still found in the expectation coming into 2024 that growth for the year would be driven by second half performance.
