ECIA’s September Industry Pulse Sales Sentiment Results Convey Continuing Optimism

ECIA’s Industry Pulse, formerly ECST: Trends and Sentiment September 2025 Results

 

Atlanta – The overall product sales sentiment index improved by 5 points between August and September, reaching 118.2 in the September Industry Pulse survey. “Once again, the actual survey results fell short of the exuberant forecast in the August survey,” commented ECIA’s Chief Analyst Dale Ford. “However, the improvement in the index in September and the fourth straight month of index scores solidly above the threshold of 100 is highly encouraging.”

The index forecast for all three component categories converges around 118.3 in the October outlook. Only 1.5 points separate the Passive index forecast at 119.1 on the high end and Semiconductors at 117.6 on the low side.  “Achieving this forecast would be a great start to the fourth quarter sales environment,” Ford concluded.
