[Semiconductors](https://www.materialinsights.org/industries/semiconductors/) (industry) and [Water and sanitation](https://www.materialinsights.org/industries/water_sanitation/) (industry): 2 relationships.

## How they are linked

### 1. Buys from

*Physical flow · ₹0.8 per ₹100 · Semiconductors buys from Water and sanitation*

Semiconductors buys goods or services from Water and sanitation; counted through every round of supply, ₹0.8 of each ₹100 of its output goes to them (OECD input-output tables, India 2022).

- **₹0.8** of every ₹100 of Semiconductors output, all rounds
- **₹0.1** bought directly

### 2. Industry input

*Physical flow · Criticality 5 of 5 · Water and sanitation → Semiconductors*
