Description
This indicator tracks the annual global forecasted sales of optoelectronic semiconductors as defined by World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), including image sensors, photodiodes, LEDs, laser diodes, and infrared detectors. These components are commonly used in camera modules, optical communication, automotive LIDAR, and lighting systems.
The spring forecast is released in June and the fall forecast in December, projecting semiconductor sales figures for the category for the current and following year.
