Circuits Assembly Online Magazine - German Electronics Sales Up 3% in 2007

FRANKFURT – Germany's electronics industry is expected to post a 3% rise in sales to 184 billion euros ($270 billion) this year, boosted by strong exports and robust domestic investment, industry association ZVEI says.

However, restructuring in communications technology would mean sales would fall short of the 190 billion euros previously forecast.

Sales are expected to rise by more than 4% in 2008, the association said.
