Description
The indicator refers to the global semiconductor sales forecast published by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), presented on an annual basis. The forecast covers regions including the Americas, Europe, Japan, and the Asia Pacific, and encompasses semiconductor categories such as logic, memory, analog, discrete semiconductors, and microcomponents. It serves as a key reference for anticipating global semiconductor industry growth, assessing market size, and planning upstream and downstream production capacity.
The spring forecast is released in June and the fall forecast in December, projecting semiconductor sales figures for the region for the current and following year.
