Electronic Component Orders Bounce Back
Arlington, VA — Electronic component orders bounced back in June from a small dip the month before, according to the four-to-five week average index compiled by the Electronic Components, Assemblies & Materials Association (ECA). The 12-month average, which compares order growth to the previous year, remains flat. Orders started slowly in the first week of June and picked up momentum toward the end of the month, creating some optimism for the rest of the summer. The overall forecast for 2007 remains positive, but indicates a bit slower growth than last year.
"It's nothing to jump up and down about, but the stable growth of the last two years shows a more mature supply chain that is able to chart a steady course through market fluctuations," says Bob Willis, ECA president. "I don't think we could say that five years ago."
