The following query comes from David Williams of Benchmark. Please go forward.
David Williams — Benchmark — Analyst
Hey, good afternoon and congratulations on the actually strong outcomes particularly on this macro.
Emily Yang — Senior Vice President, Worldwide Gross sales & Advertising
Thanks.
Keh-Shew Lu — Chairman, President, and Chief Govt Officer Member, Threat Oversight Committee
Thanks.
David Williams — Benchmark — Analyst
Emily, simply first, possibly you simply sort of serious about the automotive progress, you’re clearly seeing quite a lot of traction, and also you’ve had this initiative to essentially drive the content material and the share good points there. I’m simply sort of questioning, it looks as if you’ve had actually strong progress during the last a number of quarters and this quarter significantly. However simply are you seeing something possibly being pulled in? Or is that this actually simply due to the demand that you simply’re seeing and the brand new design wins, or is there something there that we needs to be serious about by way of possibly slowing afterward the automotive aspect?
Emily Yang — Senior Vice President, Worldwide Gross sales & Advertising
Sure. So David, if we take a look at the consequence, so that you’re completely proper. For Q3, we really achieved 16%, which is certainly a file for automotive. If we examine year-over-year, that’s 48% progress and even quarter-over-quarter, that’s 17% progress. So — however I wish to additionally level consideration not only for the third quarter. So we’ve been brazenly speaking about from 2013 to 2021, we even have a compounded annual progress fee of 30%. So this isn’t only a one quarter or few quarter, however persistently over a few years. So we established automotive focus years again. What we’re seeing is definitely a big change from the topology and design construction perspective. So I’ve been speaking in regards to the pleasure is we begin seeing quite a lot of new proto prices expanded into completely different areas. So one good instance is Pericom product household, proper? We begin seeing PCI Categorical as gigabit Ethernet being tailored. And this adoption is the start of the adoption. So that provides us quite a lot of confidence in regards to the progress sooner or later. We additionally take a look at our design pipeline, so it continued to develop considerably. In order that’s the rationale to assist our ongoing progress quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year.
Keh-Shew Lu — Chairman, President, and Chief Govt Officer Member, Threat Oversight Committee
Sure, David, we implement a coverage within the actions. All the brand new product if attainable, must be automotive nice certified, we name two half. So most of our new product after we go to, we give attention to two elements if attainable. And due to this fact, we’ve got quite a lot of design win, and you understand the automotive bid half, they ramp up a lot slower than client or different market seen. It takes us two years for the half to — for the brand new product to be ramped up. Okay? And so when you take a look at, we’ve got been persistently year-over-year, quarter-over-quarter to extend a % of the income. And that’s one other key measurement we implement is automotive section as a % of the full income. And you’ll see now we’re attending to 16% of our income is coming from automotive section. So this isn’t a really brief time period. That is the long-term driver. And so I don’t see that progress might be — it could be taper slightly bit, however you received’t go to the opposite course, then we as a % of the income will proceed. Okay?
David Williams — Benchmark — Analyst
Okay. Improbable. Thanks Shew Lu for the colour there. After which possibly final one for me, only a broader query. However was there something possibly within the quarter that stunned you both from demand shifting or possibly issues which might be stronger than you’d have anticipated? Something that you have to be or possibly we must always take into consideration by way of the following few quarters the place we may see some shifting round or any warning?
Emily Yang — Senior Vice President, Worldwide Gross sales & Advertising
Sure. So I might say, undoubtedly the demand from automotive aspect remains to be very, very sturdy. In order that’s actually a optimistic information, and it provides us a possibility to steadiness with among the different gradual demand markets. I believe the second shock is actually the facility constraint in Chengdu. However once more, we demonstrated our sturdy functionality to handle by means of the disaster as properly, proper?
Keh-Shew Lu — Chairman, President, and Chief Govt Officer Member, Threat Oversight Committee
And when you say — you’re asking for any shock, you possibly can see we nonetheless meet our steering. And due to this fact, you understand we will see a lot clear, properly, is probably not two, three quarters later, however no less than within the third quarter after we make the third quarter steering, we will see a lot clear. And now we’re within the fourth quarter, and once more, we will see a lot clear within the fourth quarter enterprise and market.
David Williams — Benchmark — Analyst

Emily Yang — Senior Vice President, Worldwide Gross sales & Advertising
Properly, I believe, Tristan, total the market remains to be extraordinarily dynamic. I believe it’s troublesome for us to foretell what precisely goes to occur or the restoration.

So I might say we did our greatest based mostly on greatest information. We put every part into our estimated steering already. It’s slightly bit troublesome for us to essentially predict when the restoration goes to occur in China.
Keh-Shew Lu — Chairman, President, and Chief Govt Officer Member, Threat Oversight Committee
However when you take a look at even in China scenario that you simply talked about, we nonetheless [Indecipherable] a part of income like a similarity. So usually, within the fourth quarter, we usually are down considerably — seasonality-wise 5%, and a great time, we could also be slightly bit higher than 5% down. After which even this 12 months, we mentioned we’ve got a problem of we mentioned the market had problem. We nonetheless information our fourth quarter someplace round…
Emily Yang — Senior Vice President, Worldwide Gross sales & Advertising
Seasonality.
Keh-Shew Lu — Chairman, President, and Chief Govt Officer Member, Threat Oversight Committee
5%. So I believe we — sure, the market could be very dynamic, very unstable, however we’re nonetheless in a position to information and working our enterprise very near the seasonality sort of [Indecipherable]
Emily Yang — Senior Vice President, Worldwide Gross sales & Advertising

Nice, thanks for taking my query. And I wish to add my congratulations on the superb outcomes and outlook. I believe I wish to form of distill this to what I believe is the massive form of level of rivalry between buyers and plenty of firms proper now. We’re seeing — we’ve already seen a few of these client finish markets weaken fairly considerably. We’re seeing that in your mannequin for the final couple of quarters even. And I believe the consensus amongst buyers is, look, it is a downturn and it’s simply rolling throughout finish markets from one to the following. And after we take into consideration industrial and automotive, it’s only a matter of time. What we’re listening to from some firms is that it’s probably not proper, that the downturn is actually simply in a few unhealthy finish markets after which you’ve automotive and industrial that are holding up fairly properly, and we don’t suppose they’re going to maneuver.
