Description
According to World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) forecasts, this indicator measures the annual global sales of Analog Integrated Circuits (ICs), used primarily in signal conditioning, power management, and sensor interfaces. These ICs are critical in automotive electronics, industrial automation, and communication equipment. Analog chips act as the bridge between the physical world and digital 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.
