Description
This indicator measures monthly semiconductor sales in Japan, as published by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA). It covers demand across communication, computing, and automotive applications, serving as a reference point for the mature Asian semiconductor market.
The Year on Year (YoY) growth rate is used to compare the data of a particular month with the same month in the previous year, reflecting the growth or decline during this period.
The data is aggregated by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) from its 49 member companies, who report monthly through regional data collection agents that anonymize and transmit the data. Visit the WSTS for more information on how the organization produces its reports.
