July delivered better news after a disappointing June, as the AV Sales Index (AVI-S) accelerated 2.3 points from 56.6 to 58.7. With this new reading, the AVI-S is now averaging the same level in 2024 as it did in 2023: 58.9 this year vs. 58.8 last year.   he AV Employment Index (AVI-E) is reliably steadier than the AVI-S. Last month, the AVI-S was surprisingly down, while the AVI-E was down only slightly. Now the AVI-S is back up, and the AVI-E is up slightly. To share the numbers, the last three months of the AVI-E have been, in order, 57.7, 57.1, 57.5. Like the AVI-S, this level is roughly in line with what was normal pre-pandemic.  To see the latest Index report go to https://www.avixa.org/market-intelligence/pro-av-business-index.  

Each month AVIXA sends out a monthly survey to service providers who are “moderately” to “extremely” familiar with their company’s business conditions to collect data on the past month's business conditions within their company. The AV Sales and AV Employment Indexes are computed as diffusion indexes. The monthly score is calculated as the percentage of firms reporting a significant increase plus half the percentage of firms reporting no change.
