Description
This indicator is published by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) and tracks the total monthly global sales of semiconductor products, covering regional markets including the Americas, Europe, Japan, China, Asia Pacific, and Others. It serves as a key benchmark for analyzing global semiconductor market trends.
The data is compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS). It is based on reports from 49 member companies, which submit monthly sales data through regional data collection agents who aggregate and anonymize the information before delivering it to WSTS.
The 3-month moving average is calculated by averaging the sales figures for the past three months. This method helps smooth out short-term fluctuations and provides a clearer view of underlying trends.
This data is updated monthly, reflecting sales performance over the most recent three months.
