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 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.
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.
