iSuppli’s Semiconductor Value Chain analysts own years of first-hand experience, extensive knowledge, and recognized expertise in semiconductor industry analysissupply chain research, and the markets they cover.

Straddling an exhaustive, far-reaching sample that embraces 48 semiconductor segments, 95 application markets, and 108 global OEMs, iSuppli’s semiconductor research analysts track virtually every significant channel in the electronics supply chain industry and semiconductor market, covering spend analysis, semiconductor companies, semiconductor equipment, semiconductor fabrication, and a slew of other semiconductor- and electronics-related areas.

Using proven methodologies with modeled estimates and validation through primary research and/or expert interviews, as well as continually updated systems data drawn from a large collection of datasets, iSuppli semiconductor analysts provide pre-eminent resources and unmatched semiconductor industry proficiency to aid clients in decision making and the successful management of their business.

In particular, iSuppli analysts employ a two-step “Model and Validate” process to determine spending levels. Modeled estimates are first created on what spending should be, based on system revenues and semiconductor content. Spend analysis results are then validated through primary research surveys and expert interviews.

iSuppli’s analysts also help OEMs determine their spending to account for variability, after discovering that even large OEMs in some cases had trouble knowing their own spend, given the complexity of their contractual relationships.

Overall, our experts in systems markets, EMS/ODM outsourcing, and semiconductor industry analysis use the extensive databases we have culled to assure quality of information.
