Interesting and educational. Electronic components are doing well. Of course they will be doing well. Every bit of electronic equipment is built with components, fron wide screen smart TVs to dumb internet-enabled toasters.. And the beauty of the component side is that much of it is nothing new. So there is not much risk involved. Just build in adequate quality and the product will sell.
