CONTACT: Jennifer Read 678-393-9990 April 8, 2026 ECIA’s March Industry Pulse Survey Index Reaches Lofty Heights for Sales Sentiment Atlanta – Sales confidence dominated every sector of the Electronic Components Industry in March, driving the overall sales sentiment index average up to 149.2, the highest level in five years, dating back to April 2021. “All three component categories saw solid improvement, led by Electro-Mechanical with a jump of 20.2 points,” explained ECIA Chief Analyst Dale Ford. “The end-market index score mirrored the component categories as it rose by 16.1 points to 161.8. This exuberance is tempered by a softening in sales sentiment looking forward to April as the overall index is projected to retreat back to 143.7. The bottom line is that the sales environment for electronic components is the best it has been in five years!” he concluded.
