The New Majority
Millennial & Gen Z Engineers Are Reshaping Electronics
57% of engineers have 14 or fewer years of experience. They're not the future—they're your customers right now. And they buy differently.
Research Overview
The engineering workforce has fundamentally shifted. Millennial and Gen Z engineers now make up the majority—and they work, research, and buy differently than the generations before them. This exclusive infographic distills our comprehensive workforce study into a clear, actionable visual guide. In just a few minutes, you'll understand:
Where the generational gaps are widest (AI adoption, technical support expectations, distributor priorities)
What frustrates each generation most (schedule pressures for Career Pros, inadequate manufacturer support for younger engineers)
How purchasing decisions have evolved (supply chain reliability now trumps product breadth for Millennial/Gen Z)
Why your current strategy may be missing the mark (digital-first behaviors, self-serve expectations, AI-assisted research)
