Description
This forecasted indicator by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) reports the year-over-year growth rate in annual sales of Microcomponents, including microprocessors (MPUs), microcontrollers (MCUs), and digital signal processors (DSPs). These chips are widely used in mobile devices, industrial controls, automotive, and embedded computing, and are key to tracking growth in edge computing and smart 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.
