ECIA Releases Annual Study on Top 50 Americas Authorized Distributors
Atlanta, GA – ECIA has released its annual Top 50 Americas Authorized Distributors report on TrustedParts.com. This ECIA original study builds on nearly 5 years of data. Each year, ECIA Chief Analyst Dale Ford compiles this report from survey results, extensive research of public financial data, input from manufacturers and distributors, and web-based secondary research. Findings reflect both the research and Dale Ford’s deep understanding of the component channel.
“The latest ECIA Top 50 Americas Authorized Distributors report delivers encouraging news for the industry as overall revenues grew by 7.1% in 2025,” Dale explains in the preface to the report. “Revenues grew from $28.8 B in 2024 to $30.9 B in 2025. The data reveals that 80% of the top 50 distributors achieved revenue growth in 2025. Only four distributors among the top 30 saw revenues decline. The declines among this group were modest - between only -0.8% and -5.0%.
“The growth was experienced broadly across the component categories with six out of seven categories measured delivering growth in 2025. Power & Battery components were the only category to experience a decline in revenues.
Among end-markets, Aerospace/Military was the dominant driver of growth as it became the largest Americas market in 2025 with a 34.6% revenue growth in 2025. Furthermore, after many years of maintaining a strong number one position in end-market revenues, the Industrial Automation market dropped into 2nd place among end-markets as its revenue declined by -6.3%. Six out of eleven end-markets delivered growth in 2025.”
The research continues with the Global Top 50 Report scheduled for later this year. The report is available to all at TrustedParts.com.
