The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) has recently divulged a striking rise in global semiconductor industry sales, which totalled $48.0 billion in November 2023. This represents a noteworthy 5.3% increase compared to the £45.6 billion recorded in November 2022 and a 2.9% upturn from October 2023’s figure of £46.6 billion. Compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organisation, these monthly sales are indicative of a three-month moving average. Importantly, SIA embodies 99% of the American semiconductor industry by revenue and nearly two-thirds of non-U.S. chip companies.
Renewed Momentum in the Global Chip Market
John Neuffer, the President and CEO of SIA, shed light on this encouraging trend, remarking, “For the first time since August 2022, global semiconductor sales have seen a year-on-year increase in November, signalling a continuation of the global chip market’s growing strength as we embark on the new year.” He anticipates that the global semiconductor market will enjoy double-digit growth throughout 2024.
