Global Semiconductor Sales Increase 21.7% Year-to-Year in August
October 6, 2025 | SIAEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) announced global semiconductor sales were $64.9 billion during the month of August 2025, an increase of 21.7% compared to the August 2024 total of $53.3 billion and 4.4% more than the July 2025 total of $62.1 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 continued to grow in August, far exceeding sales in August of last year,” said John Neuffer, SIA president and CEO. “Sales in the Asia Pacific region and the Americas continue to drive growth, with sales of memory and logic chips notably increasing.”
Regionally, year-to-year in August sales were up in the Asia Pacific/All Other (43.1%), Americas (25.5%), China (12.4%), and Europe (4.4%), but decreased in Japan (-6.9%). Month-to-month sales in August increased in the Asia Pacific/All Other (6.9%), Americas (4.3%), China (3.3%), Japan (2.0%), and Europe (1.0%).
