DMASS cautiously optimistic for European component market Leave a comment
DMASS Europe‘s chairman, Hermann Reiter, mentioned that after a “prolonged period of stagnation, the European electronic components market is showing the first signs of renewed momentum” however warned “structural dependencies and supply chain vulnerabilities remain a critical concern beside the fragmenting customer markets”.
Semiconductor distribution rose 0.8% in Q3, 2025 to achieve a price of €2.26bn. Across Europe, nonetheless, the image was combined with solely Benelux and Turkey rising at 10.3% and 27.4% respecitively, whereas Israel, Switzerland, Eastern Europe, the UK and Iberia all noticed falls in comparison with the identical quarter final yr.
The strongest development was in sensors and actuators (19%), reminiscence (6.9%) and non-MOS micro logic (21.6%) whereas energy dropped 10% and MOS micro logic fell 5.6%.
The IPE sector throughout Europe reached €1.53bn, a rise of 9.4%. Growth was strongest in Israel (42%) and Turkey (33%). The UK dropped (-1.6%) and development was extra modest in Ireland (4.6%) and Austria (2.5%), with Eastern Europe and Nordic sustaining mid-table positions with rises of 17.7% and 13.8% respectively.
Within this group, passsive and e-mech elements elevated by over 8% every and energy provides elevated 16.9%. Batteries and accumulators noticed a steep decline of 9% and ceramic capacitors elevated by 13% however this was eclipsed by the 29% enhance achieved by ac-dc converters.
“While this development provides a welcome signal of recovery,” mentioned DMASS, “It must be viewed against the backdrop of persistent geopolitical tensions and the continent’s continued reliance on external sources for key technologies and materials. This dependency exposes Europe to volatility and underscores the fragility of global supply chains, which remain susceptible to political, economic, and logistical disruptions.”
