Annually, this compilation of distributors of electronic components is highly publicized in several publications, including Electronic Design, Machine Design and SourceESB. The content is housed on SourceToday and it is the most viewed content all year long, every year!
The general mood among electronics distributors as they entered 2018 was one of "cautious optimism." The outlook grew darker in the first few months as the long shadow of a possible all-out trade war between the U.S. and China seemed increasingly likely. As the year unfolded, the shadow lifted and so did the caution. After the dust settled, 2018 turned out to be a very good year for electronics distributors.
The results are captured in the SourceToday Top 50 Distributor ranking. Overall, the 50 companies on the list posted combined 2018 revenue of $158.8 billion, a $14.4-billion or 10.7% improvement over 2017.
