FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November Sales Sentiment Defies Expectations with Strong Results While Q4 ’25 and Q1 ’26 Outlook Shines According to ECIA’s Industry Pulse
Electronic Component Trends and Sentiment November 2025 Results.

Atlanta - The November Industry Pulse survey results trounced expectations from the October survey, with the overall sales sentiment index delivering a score of 120.1 in November, compared to predictions of 103.5. The November results sustain a strong sales sentiment that has persisted for 6 months now, beginning in June. However, survey participants seem to have just pushed their pessimism out by a month as they now see the December sales sentiment falling by nearly the same amount as they predicted for November. They now see the overall sentiment index falling by 18.8 points in December.

“The results from the Q4 Industry Pulse survey deliver a sharp contrast to the November survey as optimism grows significantly heading into 2026,” noted ECIA Chief Analyst Dale Ford. “Over half of survey respondents report expectations of positive overall sales growth in Q4. The picture grows even brighter looking toward Q1 2026 with over 70% projecting positive sales growth in Q1 2026.”
