Description
Integrated circuits (ICs) include microprocessors (MPUs), memory chips (RAM/ROM), analog ICs, and digital ICs, which are the core components of modern electronic devices.
Changes in IC production value reflect trends in the global semiconductor industry and are closely linked to developments in consumer electronics, computers, communications, and automotive markets.
The data is published by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).
The indicator calculates the amount of foreign imports to Japan and can serve as a reference for assessing the supply and demand conditions of Japan and the overall electronics manufacturing industry.
The data is updated monthly.
