Description
This indicator, released by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), tracks the monthly semiconductor sales in the Americas, primarily including the United States and Canada.
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.
