The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) has announced that global semiconductor industry sales were $ 50.9 billion in April 2022 * Sales in the Americas are growing by 40.9% year-on-year and leading all regional markets
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) announced that global semiconductor industry sales were $ 50.9 billion in April 2022, an increase of 21.1% compared to a total of $ 42.0 billion in April 2021 and 0.7% more than in March 2022 totaling $ 50.6 billion. The monthly sales are conducted by World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) and represent a moving average of three months. SIA represents 99% of the U.S. semiconductor industry in terms of revenue and nearly two-thirds of non-U.S. chip companies.
“Global semiconductor sales have grown more than 20% year-on-year for 13 consecutive months, indicating high and consistent demand for semiconductors in a variety of critical sectors,” said John Neufer, President and CEO of SIA. “High global demand for chips will require more semiconductor research, design and manufacturing in the coming years, and we call on leaders in Washington to enact innovation and competitiveness legislation that ensures more of the production and innovation of these chips takes place in the United States.”
Sales increased compared to April 2021 in the Americas (40.9%), Europe (19.2%), Japan (18.5%), Asia Pacific / the rest (18.1%) and China (13.3%). Month-on-month sales rose in the Americas (3.1%), Japan (1.6%) and Asia Pacific / the rest (1.2%), but fell slightly in China (-0.6%) and Europe (-3.3%).
