Description
This indicator includes the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) forecasted annual sales of Microcomponents, including microprocessors (MPUs), microcontrollers (MCUs), and digital signal processors (DSPs). They are used in smartphones, PCs, automotive electronics, and embedded systems. This metric is key to tracking growth in edge computing, autonomous driving, and smart devices.
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.
