About
DMASS Europe e.V.
DMASS is a European industry association that collects data of the European components distribution market. DMASS (until Dec 31, 2022 as DMASS Ltd., since January 1, 2023 as DMASS Europe e.V.) was founded in 1989.
In its 35 years of existence DMASS has become the pre-eminent source of distribution market data by country/region and product groups. The quarterly statistics provide members with valuable insights in regional and product dynamics. DMASS covers all semiconductors, interconnect, passive, electromechanics and power supply components.
The non-profit organisation today consists of over 40 active members, both manufacturers and distributors of components, and represents between 80 and 85% of the European components’ distribution market (differences may exist by country and product groups).
To continuously increase its European market coverage, DMASS welcomes new membership applications from distributors and electronic components manufacturers.
European Components Market Continoued Strong Growth in 2026 Q3:
Industrial demand and Memory dynamics underpin a steady expansion across regions and product groups.
2026YTD Key facts:
- European electronic components distribution reached €15.0 billion, up 30.2% year-over-year, with an exceptionally strong Q3 delivering €5.4 billion, a 42.7% increase versus Q3 2025.
