DMASS Europe e.V. reported that European electronic components distribution totaled €15.0 billion year to date through Q3 2026, up 30.2% year over year, with Q3 sales of €5.4 billion, up 42.7% from Q3 2025.
The market’s expansion spanned semiconductor and interconnect, passive and electromechanical components (IP&E), which DMASS linked to industrial recovery, digital transformation and investment in automation, energy infrastructure, electrification and AI-related technologies. The association said geopolitical uncertainties and potential energy-market disruptions remain risks to monitor.
Semiconductor distribution reached €9.5 billion year to date, a 36.9% increase, while Q3 sales rose 53.3% to €3.5 billion. Memory grew 189.4%, supported by pricing effects and recovering demand across multiple application sectors. Growth also extended to Discrete, MOS Micro Logic, Analog and Other Logic products.
IP&E distribution reached €5.6 billion year to date, up 20.3%, with Q3 growth of 26.9%. Passives grew 22.8%, Power Supplies 19.8% and Electromechanical components 18.9%; the latter was the largest IP&E product group by value, at more than €3.1 billion.
Hermann Reiter, chairman of DMASS Europe, said: “The European electronics market has entered a phase of accelerated recovery, with growth strengthening throughout 2026 and extending across both semiconductor and IP&E technologies.”
