April semiconductor sales of $57 billion were up 2.5% on the March total of $55.6 billion and 22.7% up on the $46.7 billion total of April 2024, reports the SIA.

“Global semiconductor sales in April ticked up on a month-to-month basis for the first time in 2025, and the global market continues to notch year-to-year growth driven by increasing sales into the Americas and Asia Pacific,” says SIA CEO John Neuffer, “meanwhile, a new WSTS industry forecast calls for solid global market growth in 2025 driven by demand for AI, cloud infrastructure, and advanced consumer electronics.”

Regionally, year-to-year sales in April were up in the Americas (44.4%), Asia Pacific/All Other (23.1%), China (14.4%), Japan (4.3%), and Europe (0.1%). Month-to-month sales in April increased in China (5.5%), Asia Pacific/All Other (5.3%), and Europe (0.5%), but decreased in Japan (-0.6%) and the Americas (-1.1%).

Additionally, SIA today endorsed the WSTS Spring 2025 global semiconductor sales forecast, which projects annual global sales will grow by 11.2% to $700.9 billion in 2025.

In 2026, global sales are projected to reach $760.7 billion.
