Despite the economic uncertainties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the worldwide semiconductor sales demonstrated an upward trend in July 2020. All major regional markets reported sales increases on a month-to-month basis.

The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) announced global sales of semiconductors were $35.2 billion in July 2020, up 4.9 percent from July 2019 total of $33.5 billion and up 2.1 percent from the June 2020 total of $34.5 billion.

"The global semiconductor market has remained largely resistant to global macroeconomic headwinds through the first seven months of the year, with sales in July increasing on both a year-to-year and month-to-month basis, but substantial market uncertainty remains for the rest of the year," commented John Neuffer, SIA president and CEO, in a statement.

Taking a closer look at different regions, SIA reported that sales increased on a year-to-year basis in the Americas (26.3 percent), China (3.5 percent), and Asia Pacific/All Other (1.4 percent), but decreased in Japan (-0.4 percent) and in Europe (-14.7 percent).

On a month-to-month basis, semiconductor sales improved across all regions: Asia Pacific/All Other (4.5 percent), Japan (3.4 percent), Europe (3.2 percent), the Americas (0.9 percent), and China (0.5 percent).
