Description
Electronic components are primarily used to control the flow of electrical currents for information processing and system control. They are the smallest units that make up circuits and are typically simple with a single function, such as capacitors and resistors.
Electronic devices, on the other hand, are more complex functional units composed of multiple components, each having a specific function.
The data is published by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).
The indicator tracks foreign imports to Japan, with the accumulated year-over-year rate reflecting growth or decline in total value from January to the statistical month compared to the previous year.
The data is updated monthly.
