The annual report "European Electronic Components Distribution" offers a unique insight into the electronic component distribution industry. The report is compiled from input written by local managers in each country who have detailed knowledge of the local and international electronic component distribution industry. The overall study is prepared by people who have a deep involvement with the electronic component industry.

The 2011 European report contains details of the overall component distribution scene, with profiles of major pan-European groups including: companies such as Arrow, Avnet, Electrocomponents, Future, Farnell Rutronik, TTI and others.

Last year, as many economies regained their strengths in common with most other industries, the global electronic component market had an tremendous increase in virtually every area of the world.

The countries of Europe were among the winners as their key markets for industrial and automotive products gained strength.

The 2011 report will show which countries and companies managed to survive the crisis in the best way. Who were the winners and losers after the last turbulent years?

The focus on distributors becoming more involved in the design-in of products on behalf of the manufacturers, even where production will take place somewhere in the world has caused many suppliers to evaluate their distribution policy, with key shifts taking place in the line cards of many distributors as each tried to increase their market penetration into newer technology areas.

The Distributors Reports are organised into geographical groupings of countries (the basic level at which information is gathered) and summarised. At each level (national, European or worlwide) data is presented in similar formats.

The report is an in-depth study prepared by people who have a deep involvement with the electronic component industry. All reports are in English. All revenues for European countries are summarised in two currencies, the Euro and the US$. European countries that are not within the Eurozone are shown additionally in local currency.

The printed report also contains a CD Rom giving all the reports in pdf format and the graphs and tables in Excel format.
