On a worldwide basis, semiconductor sales in July 2016 were US$ 27.081 billion, up 2.6% versus the previous month. All growth figures represent a three-month rolling average.
The semiconductor product categories, which contributed most to the July growth in Europe, were Logic devices, MOS Memory and Optoelectronics, up 8.5%, 6% and 0.5% respectively compared to June.
Sales of application-specific chips also grew in July over June, both worldwide (up 1.2%) and in Europe (up 1.4%).
