(July 31, 2008) MONTREAL — In 2006, the market for electronic components supplied through distribution grew in all regions of the world. For 2007, although this growth continued, it was not reflected in all countries. It was, as a whole, a difficult year for the distribution market, asserts market analyst firm Electronics.ca Publications.
Merger and acquisition activity continued with further consolidation in the distribution industry; many smaller specialist distributors outgrew the market average. The focus in Europe on distributors becoming more involved in the design-in of products on behalf of the manufacturers, even where production will take place somewhere else in the world, has caused many suppliers to evaluate their distribution policy. Following the effects of the major changes that happened in 2005, the 2007 report was the opportunity to see which distributors had grown share, Electronics.ca reports. "The 2008 Worldwide Electronic Component Distribution Report" shows which companies have been successful at maintaining the gains made.
