“The global semiconductor market has had its highest ever sales year in 2024, surpassing $600 billion in annual sales for the first time, with double-digit market growth expected in 2025,” released. “Semiconductors enable virtually all the latest technologies, including medical devices, communications, defense applications, AI, advanced transport and countless other, and the long-term industry outlook is extremely strong.”
Regionally, annual sales increased in the US (44.8%), China (18.3%), and Asia-Pacific/All others (12.5%), but in Japan (-0.4%) and Europe (-8.1%) It has decreased. Monthly sales in December increased in the US (3.2%) but declined in Asia-Pacific/All others (-1.4%), China (-3.8%), Japan (-4.7%) and Europe (-) I was doing it. 6.4%).
“As semiconductor sales increase globally, the US is projected to triple domestic chip manufacturing capacity by 2032, strengthening its supply chain and meeting the growing global demand to ensure that it can strengthen its supply chain and meet the growing global demand. We put our country in a strong position. To help America maintain chip technology, Washington leaders promote semiconductor production and innovation, strengthen the high-tech workforce, and restore US trade leadership We need to advance policies to do so.”
In 2024, several semiconductor product segments stood out. Logic products sold totaled US$212.6 billion in 2024, making it the largest product category per sale. Memory products are second in terms of sales, increasing 78.9% in 2024 to a total of USD 165.1 billion.
