As we sell software products to developers and IT pros globally we get to see the different growth rates on a country and regional basis - as well as on a technological basis. We thought it might be useful for you to see what we did in 2012 worldwide and regionally. ComponentSource had a record sales year in 2012 with very strong growth in the USA, a good recovery in Japan after the earthquake and tsunami, plus surprisingly some growth in Europe, particularly in the last few months of 2012. So how do your growth rates and splits compare to what we see here at ComponentSource globally? Here is our growth for 2012 regionally: The Americas +26%, Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) +4%, Asia/Pac +20% - overall growth Worldwide was +15%. This helped us give a lot of our partners a record sales year for their products too. Europe was still our largest region for sales in 2012, but The Americas and Asia/Pac are catching up fast! We would like to know how your sales grew and what your regional growth rates were like. Can you share this data with us please (we will treat it confidentially). To discuss this further please email Harry Kelly on harryk@componentsource.com or you can call Harry to discuss it personally on his direct line: +44 118 982 2110.
