CARTS USA 2007

The electronic components market is expected to continue on a course of steady growth this year, one concern is the increasing demand for commodity capacitors and resistors. The issue is the subject of an industry workshop called "Can Innovation Compete with the Commodity Economy?" that will be part of the first day of sessions kicking off CARTS USA 2007, March 26-29 in Albuquerque, N.M.

Electronic component orders took a predictable downturn in January, according to the four-to-five-week index compiled by the Electronic Components, Assemblies & Materials Association (ECA). The 12-month average, which compares results to the previous year, stayed steady.

The Electronic Components, Assemblies & Materials Association (ECA) represents manufacturers and producers of passive and active electronic components, component arrays and assemblies, and materials and support services. It is a sector of the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA), representing more than 1, 300 companies. ECA members benefit from a dynamic link into a network of programs and activities in areas such as business and technical information, market research trends and analysis, access to industry and government, technical and education training, and others.
