Strong Sales Confidence Reported by ECIA’s January Industry Pulse Survey on the Electronics Component Industry Atlanta — The ECIA Industry Pulse survey to start 2026 delivered the strongest results in over 4.5 years. The overall average index score for sales sentiment hit 138.0 in January and is projected to reach 143.4 in February. The only time the survey has delivered results stronger than the most recent survey was in the March through May 2021 survey period. January’s result also delivers the eighth straight month with overall results above 110. (100 points is the threshold between positive and negative sales sentiment.) “It is very encouraging to see the authorized supply chain participants’ self-image so positive as we begin a new year," commented ECIA Chief Analyst Dale Ford. “However, the severe mismatch between supply and demand for advanced memory ICs presents one of the greatest concerns for the overall health of the electronics components market. Limited supplies of these components could result in stalled sales in other segments. This has emerged as one of the most critical areas of supply chain management heading into 2026,” he cautioned.
