Global Semiconductor Sales Increase 29.8% Year-to-Year in November

November’s sales mark the global industry’s highest-ever monthly total; worldwide chip sales increase 3.5% month-to-month

WASHINGTON — Jan. 8, 2026 —The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today announced global semiconductor industry sales totaled $75.3 billion during the month of November 2025, an increase of 29.8% compared to the November 2024 total of $58.0 billion and 3.5% more than the October 2025 total of $72.7 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 industry posted its highest-ever monthly sales total in November, with demand increasing across all major product categories on a month-to-month basis,” said John Neuffer, SIA president and CEO. “Looking ahead, the global chip market is projected to grow substantially in 2026, reaching nearly $1 trillion in annual sales.”

Regionally, year-to-year sales were up in Asia Pacific/All Other (66.1%), the Americas (23.0%), China (22.9%), and Europe (11.1%), but down in Japan (-8.9%). Month-to-month sales increased in Asia Pacific/All Other (5.0%), China (3.9%), the Americas (3.0%), and Europe (1.2%), but decreased slightly in Japan (-0.1%).
