Q1-2011
IDEA European Electronic Component
Quarterly graphics package
in association with the local trade associations:

South Africa Russia Italy UK Australasia Turkey India Germany USA Sweden France

This package of 24 different quarterly graphics is derived from IDEA statistics produced quarterly using
inputs from distribution member companies in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Denmark
& Finland. The numbers shown represent the actual sales by IDEA affiliated Trade Association member
companies which in turn comprise 71% of the available markets so reflect an accurate market trend.

Nordic Via ecsn/afdec €1271 Mill €572 Mill 45%

Germany FBDI €3965 Mill €2783 Mill 70%

IMPORTANT NOTE: To ensure that exchange rate variations do not confuse the trend, the exchange rates shown are the 2010 Local
currency/€ conversion rates. The 2010 average rates are: UK Pound/€ 0.7964, Danish Krona/€ 7.4560, Norwegian Krona/€ 8.2193, Swedish
Krona/€ 9.6152.

The graphics are designed for use by member companies of Trade Associations affiliated to IDEA and by
the Press. They are published in .pdf & word formats to enable users to easily copy individual graphics into
their own documents or be published electronically on the web and local networks. This document will be
updated every quarter immediately the IDEA Quarterly stats have been published.
