Through November, total manufacturing output rose 9.9% over last year. Electronics was up 7.5% over that period.

Semiconductor production spiked 42% in November, computer peripherals were up 24.4% and storage was up 10.4%.

Telecom and consumer electronics fell 4.2% as lower demand for mobile products offset increased production of PCs and consumer items.
