Global Semiconductor Sales Increase 17.9% Year-to-Year in January
March 7, 2025 | SIAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) announced global semiconductor sales hit $56.5 billion during the month of January 2025, an increase of 17.9% compared to the January 2024 total of $47.9 billion and 1.7% less than the December 2024 total of $57.5 billion. Monthly sales are compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization and represent a three-month moving average. SIA represents 99% of the U.S. semiconductor industry by revenue and nearly two-thirds of non-U.S. chip firms.
“Following its highest-ever annual sales total in 2024, the global semiconductor market maintained momentum in January, hitting its highest-ever monthly sales total for the month of January, despite a slight decline from the month of December,” said John Neuffer, SIA president and CEO. “Year-to-year sales increased by more than 17% for the ninth consecutive month, driven by a 50.7% year-to-year sales increase into the Americas.”
Regionally, year-to-year sales were up in the Americas (50.7%), Asia Pacific/All Other (9.0%), China (6.5%), and Japan (5.7%), but down in Europe (-6.4%). Month-to-month sales in May increased in Asia Pacific/All Other (1.6%), but were down in Europe (-1.3%), China (-2.0%), Japan (-3.1%), and the Americas (-3.5%).
