Semiconductor sales through industry distribution channels in the third quarter of 2015 reached 1.86 billion euros, more than 2014, up 17.9% in the same season. According to a london-based European semiconductor manufacturing and distribution alliance (DMASS) said recently that the level of sales "surprising", because the summer sales are usually fell. Promotes the euro against the dollar, DMASS claims that most of the growth of organic growth, by double digits.

DMASS, chairman of GeorgSteinberger pointed out: "this year is sure to break through 7 billion, record. Despite the impact of exchange rate will soon disappear, semiconductor distributors in Europe will continue to grow, although the growth speed will be slow."

Strong DMASS thought in the third quarter, one of the reasons is "almost the entire eastern Europe has substantial growth". Eastern Europe except Russia rose 37.6%, with the UK region increased by 17.4%, to 158 million euros. Sales growth of 15.8% in Germany, France has increased by 10%.

Steinberger added: "the situation is similar to the second quarter: these Numbers by each region different trends of invoice (in dollars, not euro), like Scandinavia and eastern Europe has been the impact of the supply chain growth. With the euro against the dollar decline in the fourth quarter, growth will reach normal."

Simulation is one of the main product group, the average growth rate of 17.9%; The microprocessor, microcontroller and DSP demand rose by 21.5%; Other logic devices, such as ASSP, ASIC and other complex logic devices, increased by 32.1%. Discrete component, the standard logic and programmable logic sales growth rate between 10% and 14.5%.
