Everything published for this period
2 statements. Ordered by the date each was issued.
| Issued | Value as published | Source | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-10-08 | $120 billion | first on the record | 300mm Fab Outlook, October 2025 |
| 2026-04-01 | $151 billion | restated | 300mm Fab Outlook, April 2026 |
The result
No result for this period is on the record. That means this record does not hold one, which is not the same as the publisher not having reported one.
Cite this
The figure, the publisher, the date it was issued, the source, and what it replaced. The last of those is the part no other source can give you. Every qualifier the publisher attached travels with it.

One line. The value is deliberately not repeated here: on a slide the number is on the slide, and a footnote that restates it is one edit away from disagreeing with it.

Two lines, tab separated: the headings and one row. Tabs rather than commas because several of these values contain commas, and quoting rules are a second thing to get wrong. The columns do not line up on screen and do line up once pasted.
Keep this citation on your desk → The desk keeps the value you took and the date you took it, and tells you if the publisher restates it.
Elsewhere in this record
No values here, only where to find them. Two figures put side by side is a comparison, and a comparison this site chose would be a claim it did not source.
