Global Semiconductor Sales Increase 2.5% MoM in April
June 9, 2025 | SIAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) announced global semiconductor sales were $57.0 billion during the month of April 2025, an increase of 2.5% compared to the March 2025 total of $55.6 billion and 22.7% more than the April 2024 total of $46.4 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.
“Global semiconductor sales in April ticked up on a month-to-month basis for the first time in 2025, and the global market continues to notch year-to-year growth driven by increasing sales into the Americas and Asia Pacific,” said John Neuffer, SIA president and CEO. “Meanwhile, a new WSTS industry forecast calls for solid global market growth in 2025 driven by demand for AI, cloud infrastructure, and advanced consumer electronics.”
Regionally, year-to-year sales in April were up in the Americas (44.4%), Asia Pacific/All Other (23.1%), China (14.4%), Japan (4.3%), and Europe (0.1%). Month-to-month sales in April increased in China (5.5%), Asia Pacific/All Other (5.3%), and Europe (0.5%), but decreased in Japan (-0.6%) and the Americas (-1.1%).
Additionally, SIA today endorsed the WSTS Spring 2025 global semiconductor sales forecast, which projects annual global sales will grow by 11.2% to $700.9 billion in 2025. In 2026, global sales are projected to reach $760.7 billion. WSTS tabulates its semi-annual industry forecast by gathering input from an extensive group of global semiconductor companies that provide accurate and timely indicators of semiconductor trends.
