The Semico Inflection Point Indicator Service
Insight and Analysis for the Semiconductor Industry Professional

Semico Research developed the IPI to assist in forecasting semiconductor revenues approximately three quarters in advance. The IPI combined with our bill of materials, end market analysis and primary research has led Semico Research to forecast the industry more accurately than all the other prognosticators.

The IPI Service delivers monthly reports that contain a detailed overview of the data and analysis released in selected Semico studies. These summaries provide a high-level overview of end-use market and semiconductor product forecasts.  

More Information: The IPI is based on a mathematical model using time series data and first derivative analysis to calculate industry inflection points. The prime data inputs are semiconductor sales, inventories, printed circuit board sales and end market data from Semico's MAP model (Market Analysis and Planning Model).

The IPI provides executives and key company decision-makers a leading indicator with a proven track record. It will give you 8-9 month warning of an impending change in the direction of the semiconductor industry.

Industry executives from all segments of the semiconductor industry have successfully used the IPI as a primary tool for contingency planning. To survive in today's highly competitive environment, successful companies must be proactive, not reactive to industry changes.

IPI Service subscribers also receive the Semico Spin, a weekly compilation of timely news analysis from Semico's respected industry analysts.  This popular newsletter covers a broad range of topics and gives readers a unique perspective on the events that are impacting the semiconductor industry.
