DTAM Reports – by Component Segment

The Distributor DTAM (Distributor Total Available Market) captures distributor sales for electronic components in the Americas. Quarterly sales data for individual categories within Semiconductors, Passive Components, Electromechanical Product and Displays are reported by ECIA member and non-member manufacturers and selected ECIA distributors. The aggregated sales data along with estimates for non-participating companies is used to develop total DTAM market sizing for each quarter. This total market sizing data is reported back to the contributing companies in each category.

This research will be expanded over time to cover more categories as key manufacturers support this research in their market segment

You must be a research participant in a specific component category to access the report for that category:

Electronic Component Sales Trends Survey

The Electronic Component Sales Trends (ECST) tracks viewpoints on the sales of electronic components and the impact on end markets by surveying ECIA members, their peers and colleagues. The surveys sample individual opinions of knowledgeable professionals in the electronics industry on current monthly/quarterly performance and a look ahead to future expectations. Please take a moment to share your opinion and complete these surveys; each participant receives the survey results report.

Global Sales and Bookings Reports

The World Capacitor Trade Statistics Program (WCTS), The World Resistor Trade Statistics Program (WRTS) and World Inductor Trade Statistics Program (WITS) are sustained by its membership, composed of the world trading regions of Japan, EMEA and the United States. The WCTS, WRTS and WITS programs were formed for the purpose of collecting and disseminating statistics on world shipments of electronic components. The European quarterly graphs are derived from IDEA statistics using inputs from distributor member companies in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. The numbers shown represent the actual sales by IDEA Trade Association member companies which in turn comprise 66% of the available market. The AFDEC graphs are comprised of UK and Ireland distributor sales reported monthly. The World Semiconductor Dollar Consumption report provides monthly data, as well as three months moving averages for total semiconductor revenues by the four regions Americas, Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific. The Semiconductor\Passive Component comparison reports looks at global semiconductor sales compared to capacitor, inductor and resistor sales for trend comparisons. A new report also compares this in both units and dollars as well as compares quarter over quarter and year over year growth in percent change. Executive summaries are only available to members.
