About this data
Monthly semiconductor sales (billings) reported by member companies of World Semiconductor Trade Statistics, the industry body whose figures the Semiconductor Industry Association releases each month, since January 1986. Sales are shown for the Americas - dominated by the United States - and for Asia Pacific, Europe and Japan, which add up exactly to the worldwide total. Values are monthly billings in millions of U.S. dollars, not seasonally adjusted and not the three-month moving average used in press releases. The series tracks the chip cycle that feeds U.S. electronics, data-centre and auto production. Source: World Semiconductor Trade Statistics.
Frequently asked questions
- What do WSTS semiconductor sales measure?
- They measure the monthly billings of semiconductor manufacturers, reported worldwide and split across four markets: the Americas, Asia Pacific excluding Japan, Europe and Japan.
- Who publishes this data and how far back does it go?
- World Semiconductor Trade Statistics compiles it and the Semiconductor Industry Association publishes it monthly, with the series on this page running from January 1986.
- Are the figures monthly or three-month averages?
- WSTS reports billings as three-month moving averages, which smooths the month-to-month swings caused by shipment timing.
- Why are semiconductor sales treated as a leading indicator?
- Because chips are an input to most manufactured goods, so orders turn before the output they feed, which has made the cycle an early signal for global industrial production.
