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 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.
