The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today announced global semiconductor sales were $167.7 billion for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 18.8% compared to the first quarter of 2024 but 2.8% less than the fourth quarter of 2024. Global sales were $55.9 billion during the month of March 2025, an increase of 1.8% compared to the February 2025 total of $54.9 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.
“Global semiconductor demand remains high, with first-quarter sales substantially outpacing the first quarter of last year,” said John Neuffer, SIA president and CEO. “Year-to-year sales increased by more than 17% for the 11th consecutive month, driven by a year-to-year sales increase of roughly 45% in the Americas.”
Regionally, year-to-year sales in March were up in the Americas (45.3%), Asia Pacific/All Other (15.4%), China (7.6%), and Japan (5.8%), but down in Europe (-2.0%). Month-to-month sales in March increased in Europe (5.7%), Asia Pacific/All Other (3.6%), and China (2.4%), but decreased in the Americas (-0.4%) and Japan (0.4%).
