Global semiconductor sales soared to $53.1 billion in August, setting a new record for the month, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), driven by a surge in demand from the AI wave. This is an increase of 20.6% year-on-year and the highest level since April 2022, demonstrating continued momentum in the semiconductor industry.
Money DJ, citing the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), reported that global semiconductor sales reached $53.1 billion in August, up from $44 billion in the same period last year. Data compiled by World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) and released by SIA also showed a 3.5% month-on-month increase from $51.3 billion in July.
“The global semiconductor market continued to grow significantly in August, with total sales in August reaching a record high and month-over-month sales growth,” said John Neufer, President and CEO of SIA. has increased for the fifth consecutive month.” “YoY sales growth of 43.9% in the Americas marked the largest year-over-year sales increase since April 2022, and the first month-over-month sales increase since October in all regions.” 2023 year. ”
By region, the Americas led growth in August with a 43.9% year-on-year increase in semiconductor sales, followed by China at 19.2%, Asia Pacific and the rest of the world at 17.1%, and Japan at 2%. The only region to record a decline was Europe, with a decline of 9%.
On a monthly basis, semiconductor sales increased in all regions. The Americas grew by 7.5%, followed by Japan at 2.5%, Europe at 2.4%, China at 1.7%, and Asia Pacific and the rest of the world at 1.5%.
According to a report in the Commercial Times, WSTS recently revised its 2024 global semiconductor sales forecast to $611 billion, reflecting a 16% year-on-year increase, reflecting strong demand in the computing end market over the past two quarters. I pulled it up. This year, sales in the Americas and Asia Pacific regions are expected to increase significantly by 25.1% and 17.5% annually, respectively. In contrast, Europe is expected to grow by just 0.5%, while Japan is expected to decline by 1.1%.
WSTS predicts that global semiconductor sales will further increase to $687 billion in 2024, but the growth rate will slow to 12.5%. However, positive growth is expected in all regions.
