WASHINGTON — August 5, 2024 —The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today announced global semiconductor industry sales totaled $149.9 billion during the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 18.3% compared to the second quarter of 2023 and 6.5% more than the first quarter of 2024. Sales in June 2024 were $50.0 billion, an increase of 1.7% compared to the May 2024 total of $49.1 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 remained strong during the second quarter of 2024, with quarter-to-quarter sales increasing for the first time since the fourth quarter of 2021,” said SIA President and CEO John Neuffer. “Sales in the month of June were up both month-to-month and year-to-year, with the Americas market leading the way with growth of 42.8% compared to June 2023.”
