FBDi in print and online

Sales of electronic components distribution (according to FBDi e.V.) fell by more than  35% in the fourth quarter of 2024. Incoming orders are not providing any stimulus. The outlook remains subdued until mid-2025.

Andreas Falke: 'We have survived the challenging year 2024 and are wondering what 2025 will bring. Economics is psychology and 'now it's getting psychological'. - Concerns about geopolitics and the rise of populists are holding back the economy, and customers remain cautious. What is needed now is courage and innovation at all levels to turn hope and expectation into desire and growth. 2025 - especially for Germany - will be the year of setting the course in society, economy and politics".
