Results of January 2025 ECST Show 2025 Off to an Encouraging Start 
ECIA’s Electronic Component Sales Trend (ECST) January 2025 Survey Results 


ATLANTA - With a score that broke solidly above the 100-point threshold in January for the overall component average the year got off to an encouraging start. While the actual score of 108.5 was 6.7 points lower than the forecast from the December survey, it is still a very strong result to start the year.  “Once again, the survey respondents provided a robust forecast for the coming month with an overall projection of 120 for February,” continued ECIA Chief Analyst Dale Ford. “Given that the ECST scores reflect month-to-month trends it would be great to have two consecutive months with solid improvements in sales sentiment to start 2025. There were many positive indicators for long-term market health at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES.) Artificial Intelligence dominated every area of the show. Hopefully, the huge investments planned for AI are a leading indicator of new products that will stimulate another wave of growth for electronics in every sector.”
