Global Semiconductor Sales Increase 18.7% Year-to-Year in July

Sales into the Americas jump 40.1% year-to-year to lead all markets; worldwide chip sales increase 2.7% month-to-month

WASHINGTON — Sept. 3, 2024 — The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today announced global semiconductor industry sales hit $51.3 billion during the month of July 2024, an increase of 18.7% compared to the July 2023 total of $43.2 billion and 2.7% more than the June 2024 total of $50.0 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.

“The global semiconductor market continued to grow substantially on a year-to-year basis in July, and month-to-month sales increased for the fourth consecutive month,” said John Neuffer, SIA president and CEO. “The Americas market experienced particularly strong growth in July, with a year-to-year sales increase of 40.1%.”
