Electronics purchasers can expect the buyer's market for most semiconductors, passive components and connectors to continue through the rest of the year, but 2010 may be a different story.While many semiconductor companies and other component manufacturers have cut back on capital expenditures, the effect of those reductions won't be felt for the rest of the year for the most part. While there will be price firming for some chips later in year, there will be more than adequate supply. Prices for many components will decline, albeit at a slower rate than the past 12 months. The average integrated circuit price will fall 2-3% in 2009.
