Electronics Supply Chain Weekly Digest 5-2-25.

DATAPOINT OF THE WEEK: ISM reported US mfg PMI downticked to 48.7 in April from 49.0 in March, contracting for a second straight month and reaching a five-month low as tariffs on imported goods continue to strain supply chains and raise prices at the factory gate.

China’s factory activity shrank in April at the fastest pace in 16 months, with the official PMI falling to 49.0 in April, down from 50.5 in March as new US tariffs disrupted exports and dimmed hopes for continued recovery. Despite this, Chinese officials insist the country can weather the trade shock without conceding to US demands.

In Europe HCOB mfg PMI rose to a 32-month high of 49.0 in April, up from 48.6 in March, signaling improving output in Germany, France, and Italy despite ongoing contraction, weak demand, and falling exports. New orders neared stabilization and input costs eased, but job cuts persisted, and business confidence hit a 2025 low, reflecting lingering economic uncertainty.
