Semiconductor Industry Leading Indicator

The semiconductor industry has spiked and dropped dramatically over the past twenty years. These trends vary by region. With this in mind, we have developed regional semiconductor industry leading indicators and forecasts which clearly paint the picture of the industry’s turning points in each of the major regions in the global economy: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and also Japan.
 
A look at regional semiconductor leading indicator reports and forecasts is an indispensable tool in comparing regions, or focusing on a single region to help determine the best allocation of resources and areas of potential growth.
 
e-forecasting has developed the semiconductor industry regional leading indicators as composite leading indicators, designed to signal peaks and troughs in the business cycle of the industry before these turning points in economic activity take place. The main value of the leading indicator is in signaling that either the risk of a recession has increased or that a recession may be coming to an end.
 
In the last two decades, the global semiconductor industry has gone from just a $1.5 billion dollar industry to nearly $30 billion. It has experienced four recessions, all signaled by preceding weakness in our global semiconductor industry leading indicator.

Notable Semiconductor Industry Leading Indicator Highlights:

The Asia Pacific region has experienced four recessions, the last ending in July 2001. Since then, the index has increased from 60 to over 350, the highest jump of any of the major regions.

The Japanese semiconductor leading indicator has experienced seven recessions, all lasting a short period of time, less than two years. The index has increased twenty fold over the last two decades.

The European semiconductor leading indicator has a long-term growth rate of 9.4%. Since mid-2004, the growth rate has been held well below this average.

In North America, the semiconductor industry experienced a lengthy last recession, spanning nearly five years. Overall, the North American semiconductor leading indicator has helped identify five total recessions, two mini recessions and three long-term recessions...
