Global semiconductor sales reached $64.9 billion in August 2025, marking a 21.7% rise compared to $53.3 billion in August 2024, according to figures released by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA). The total also represents a 4.4% month-on-month increase from July’s $62.1 billion.
The data, compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organisation, is based on a three-month moving average and reflects continued momentum across major markets.
John Neuffer, SIA President and CEO, commented: “Global semiconductor sales remained robust in July, topping June’s results and far outpacing July of last year. Growth continues to be driven by solid demand in the Asia Pacific region and the Americas.”
Regional figures show varied performance. Year-on-year sales rose sharply in the Asia Pacific/All Other region (up 43.1%) and the Americas (up 25.5%), with more modest growth in China (up 12.4%) and Europe (up 4.4%). Japan, however, recorded a 6.9% decline.
On a month-to-month basis, growth was also seen across all major regions: Asia Pacific/All Other (up 6.9%), Americas (up 4.3%), China (up 3.3%), Japan (up 2.0%), and Europe (up 1.0%).
The SIA represents 99% of the US semiconductor industry by revenue and nearly two-thirds of non-US chip companies.
