Selling, general and administrative expenses were $486.3 million and $457.9 million in 2011 and 2010, or approximately 12% and 13% of net sales for 2011 and 2010, respectively. Selling and marketing expenses increased approximately $10.4 million in 2011 due primarily to the higher sales volume and the impact on related costs such as freight and employee-related costs. Research and development expenditures increased approximately $11.3 million in 2011, reflecting increases in expenditures for new product development and represented approximately 2% of sales for both 2011 and 2010. Administrative expenses increased approximately $6.7 million in 2011, primarily related to increases in stock-based compensation expense, salaries and employee-related benefits and amortization of acquisition related identified intangible assets, and represented approximately 5% of sales for both 2011 and 2010.
Net sales were $3,554.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $2,820.1 million for 2009, an increase of 26% in U.S. dollars and in local currencies and 22% organically (excluding both currency and acquisition impacts). Sales of interconnect products and assemblies in 2010 (approximately 93% of net sales) increased 28% in U.S. dollars and 29% in local currencies compared to 2009 ($3,293.1 million in 2010 versus $2,566.6 million in 2009). Sales increased in all of the Companys major end markets, including the telecommunications and data communications, wireless communications, industrial, military/aerospace and automotive markets as a result of a broad strengthening from a product, customer and geographic perspective and to a lesser extent from acquisitions. Sales to the telecommunications and data communications market increased (approximately $202.7 million) primarily due to increased sales of high speed interconnect products for servers and switching as well as network and storage equipment. The wireless communications market sales increased (approximately $181.3 million) in all areas, including the wireless device market, primarily related to higher handset and tablet computer demand and in the wireless infrastructure market due to higher cell site installation demand, which also drove higher demand at base station/equipment manufacturers. Industrial market sales increased (approximately $163.9 million) primarily reflecting increased sales to the geophysical and oil and gas, alternative energy, factory automation and instrumentation markets. Sales to the military/aerospace markets increased (approximately $125.2 million), primarily due to higher demand in the defense market and to a lesser extent the commercial market. Sales to the automotive market increased (approximately $42.8 million) primarily due to the increased demand in the European and U.S. automotive markets including the ramp up of new hybrid electric vehicle platforms. Sales of cable products in 2010 (approximately 7% of net sales) increased 3% in U.S. dollars and were relatively flat in local currencies compared to 2009 ($261.0 million in 2010 versus $253.5 million in 2009), primarily attributed to an increase in spending in international broadband communications markets, partially offset by lower spending in North American broadband communications markets.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $457.9 million and $397.6 million in 2010 and 2009, or approximately 13% and 14% of net sales for 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in expense in 2010 is primarily attributable to increases in the major components of selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased approximately $17.1 million in 2010 due primarily to the higher sales volume and the impact on related costs such as freight and employee costs. Research and development expenditures increased approximately $13.6 million, reflecting increases in expenditures for new product development and represented approximately 2% of sales for both 2010 and 2009. Administrative expenses increased approximately $29.6 million, primarily related to an increase in stock-based compensation expense, amortization of identified intangible assets and employee incentive payments, and represented approximately 5% of sales for both 2010 and 2009.
The following represents the significant changes in the amounts as presented on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets in 2011. Accounts receivable increased $48.6 million to $767.2 million resulting from higher sales levels, the impact of acquisitions of $34.8 million and translation resulting from the comparatively weaker U.S. dollar at December 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010 (Translation). Days sales outstanding increased to approximately 71 days from 68 days in 2010. Inventory increased $100.7 million to $649.9 million, primarily due to the impact of higher sales activity, a planned increase in certain raw materials due to expected increases in commodity prices, the increase of certain inventory to support first quarter 2012 sales and the impact of acquisitions of $19.0 million. Inventory days at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were 89 and 77, respectively. Other current assets increased $15.1 million to $115.3 million, primarily due to an increase in the fair value of a foreign exchange forward contract as well as increases in VAT-related receivables and deferred taxes. Land and depreciable assets, net, increased $13.5 million to $380.5 million reflecting capital expenditures of $100.2 million, as well as assets from acquisitions of approximately $28.5 million offset by depreciation of $101.6 million and disposals of $13.2 million, which included a write-off of certain flood damaged assets. Goodwill increased $212.8 million to $1,746.1 million, primarily as a result of two acquisitions in the Interconnect Products and Assemblies segment completed during the year. Other long-term assets increased $13.9 million to $137.4 million, primarily due to an increase in identifiable intangible assets resulting from 2011 acquisitions. Accounts payable decreased $7.1 million to $377.9 million, primarily as a result of a decrease in days payable and also due to accelerated payments for certain commodities, partially offset by the impact of acquisitions of $13.4 million and Translation. Total accrued expenses decreased $5.4 million to $264.3 million, primarily due to the payment of acquisition-related contingent consideration of $40.0 million, partially offset by an increase in accrued income taxes of $22.0 million and Translation. Accrued pension and post-employment benefit obligations increased $30.4 million due primarily to an increase in the projected benefit obligation as a result of a lower discount rate assumption. Other long-term liabilities decreased $7.8 million to $34.1 million, primarily due to the reduction in an acquisition-related contingent payment obligation of $17.8 million, partially offset by an increase in deferred tax liabilities.
