However, as is the current trend, many of these companies also trade in other products besides electronics components. Some major global distributors do not feature in the list as they do not have a direct presence in India (no representative or branch office). We also judged them based on the number of reputed principals they have in their kitty. To come out with this list of 30 companies, we took the help of industry experts, and evaluated the companies on the basis of their revenues over a couple of years. We have therefore featured these companies alphabetically. This list has to be viewed knowing that a majority of the companies did not file their revenues with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), and hence, we could not rank them. We feature the 30 leading electronics components distributors that do business in India. In this scenario, electronics components distributors in India faced several challenges while trading domestically. While in April 2013, the Department of Trade and Taxes had enforced Form T-2 for the purchase of all goods from outside Delhi, Maharashtra witnessed the maximum turmoil due to the local body tax (LBT) being imposed. On the other hand, there were some state policy issues holding back the trading market. On one hand, the economic scenario was at its worst for the initial six to eight months of the year with the Indian trading community reeling under a steep fall in the rupee’s value, against the US dollar. This is one of a series of decisions that have made Digi-Key unique the industry leader in terms of implementing technology for the maximum benefit of our customers.Wednesday, March 05, 2014: Year 2013 witnessed some major changes in the trading and distribution markets in India. We believe that Digi-Key is clearly reinventing distribution. While others talk about being green, Digi-Key’s action to discontinue our catalogue speaks louder than the words of others. I would like to believe that Digi-Key’s willingness to take the lead on this issue clearly demonstrates our commitment to “Green.” What are the benefits to Digi-Key of taking the move to be web only ahead of its main rivals? The print catalogue simply cannot compete with real-time information. ![]() Our goal is to make the Digi-Key site the ultimate source for component content as well as the ultimate source for electronic components.Īre all global markets moving toward Internet buying of components at the same pace?Īlthough there might be some subtle differences from market-to-market, the fact is that the Internet is the medium of choice for both the engineer and the professional purchaser worldwide.ĭigi-Key gives customers the ability to get real-time pricing and availability information, lead-time information when required, access to new product information often the day the product is released, notice as to obsolescence, and more online.

These will now be offered On-Line in a dynamic format that continually updates and expands the content of these and other key technologies. Digi-Key has also published a series of TechZone Magazines focusing on technologies including Lighting, Microcontrollers, Wireless, Power, Sensors, and more. We will now accelerate the introduction of even more PTMs. Digi-Key is recognized for the broad product coverage of its Product Training Modules (PTMs). This provides the blend of traditional catalogue sourcing with enhanced access to real-time component information.ĭo you see opportunities to provide new services via the Internet?ĭefinitely. On the other hand, if a customer prefers browsing in a catalogue format but has no desire for the printed page, this can be done using Digi-Key’s On-Line Interactive catalogue. ![]() ![]() It’s a true win-win situation.Īnd for those customers that prefer the traditional catalogue format, our website gives them the ability to download single pages, sections of the catalogue, or the entire catalogue in PDF-format. Furthermore, the customer will no longer be subjected to a catalogue they don’t use, and thousands, maybe hundreds-of-thousands, of trees will be saved. The cost of millions of pounds required to publish and post our catalogue will be redirected to further strengthen the website and more than 80 other Digi-Key websites around the world that are already considered Best of Class. The difference to the Digi-Key customer will be universally positive. We are a citizen of the world and it is imperative that we do our part that we act responsibly. When the fact that our customers no longer rely on the catalogue was coupled with Digi-Key’s desire to preserve the earth’s resources, our decision to discontinue publishing became obvious.
