Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

The market is built upward from unit shipment volumes, semiconductor units by device type (memory, logic, analog and discrete) and audio-video equipment units by category, multiplied by average selling prices drawn from World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) device-level pricing and customs unit-value data reported under HS code 8542 for integrated circuits and HS code 8528 for video and display equipment. This bottom-up build is then checked against the disclosed semiconductor and consumer electronics segment revenue reported in the filings of Samsung Electronics, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Intel, SK Hynix, Micron Technology and Sony. Where the two diverge, the unit-price or shipment-volume assumption underlying the bottom-up build is the one corrected, not averaged against the disclosed figure.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Interviews target procurement and component-sourcing leads at device original equipment manufacturers, design engineering managers responsible for component selection, distribution and channel executives who move semiconductors and finished electronics to smaller buyers, and regulatory or compliance officers who manage import certification against standards such as RoHS, CE and FCC requirements. Sampling weights toward East Asia, specifically China, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan, where component fabrication and assembly concentrate, while also covering North America and Europe, where end-device design decisions and much of automotive and industrial component specification take place. This mix reflects where component supply and demand-side design decisions actually sit, rather than treating the market as a single undifferentiated geography.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on World Semiconductor Trade Statistics billing data, SEMI capital equipment and materials shipment reports, and customs trade data filed under HS code 8542 (integrated circuits), HS code 8541 (diodes and discrete semiconductor devices) and HS code 8528 (video and display equipment), compiled through UN Comtrade and national trade agencies including South Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Company-level detail is cross-checked against the annual report disclosures filed by Samsung Electronics, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Intel, SK Hynix, Micron Technology, Qualcomm, Broadcom and Sony.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast is built from device replacement cycles in consumer electronics, rising electronic content per vehicle as electrification and driver-assistance systems are designed into new vehicle platforms, already-announced 5G network and data center build schedules from telecom operators and hyperscale operators, and a normalization of semiconductor average selling prices following the inventory correction that ran through 2022 and 2023. The forecast holds if design-in of semiconductor content in automotive and industrial equipment continues at its recent pace and no renewed multi-year inventory correction of comparable scale interrupts shipment volumes before 2034.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Outputs are back-tested against recorded 2020 to 2024 growth in WSTS billings and in the segment revenue reported by the named component manufacturers, confirming the historical build tracks disclosed results within a narrow margin. Segment share shifts, particularly the rising share of automotive and industrial applications, are reviewed against analyst commentary on design wins and platform announcements from vehicle and equipment makers. Sensitivities are tested on the semiconductor average selling price decline rate and on unit shipment growth assumptions, since those two inputs carry the most weight in the bottom-up build.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Confidence is firmest for the semiconductor product axis, where public company disclosures are granular enough to check the bottom-up build directly. It is softer for application-level splits such as automotive, industrial and healthcare electronics, where allocation relies on proxy shipment and customs data rather than a direct disclosure of end-market revenue, and for country-level detail beyond the largest markets in each region. A renewed multi-year semiconductor inventory correction, or a material tightening of cross-border trade and export-control restrictions, are the structural risks most likely to force a revision of this estimate.
