Semiconductor sales up 93.9% y-o-y in April, says SIA
April semiconductor sales of $110.5bn were 11% up on the $99.5bn of March 2026 and 93.9% more than the April 2025 total of $56.9bn, according to the SIA.
The SIA endorsed the WSTS Spring 2026 global semiconductor sales forecast, which projects annual sales will grow by 90% to $1.5tn in 2026.
In 2027, global sales are projected to exceed $1.9tn.
“Global semiconductor sales increased on a month-to-April semiconductor sales up 93.9% YoY says SIAmonth basis for the 14th consecutive month in April, and the global market continues to notch robust year-to-year growth driven by sales into the Asia-Pacific region, the Americas, and China,” said SIA CEO John Neuffer. “Meanwhile, the global semiconductor industry is projected to hit $1.5tn in sales in 2026 – reaching that milestone earlier than previously expected – fuelled by increasing demand for AI infrastructure and accelerated computing platforms.”
Regionally, year-to-year sales in April were up in the Americas (115.8%), Asia Pacific/All other (114.9%), China (78.6%), Europe (54.7%) and Japan (15.6%). Month-to-month sales increased in the Americas (16.7%), Asia Pacific/All other (8.7%), China (8%), Europe (6.7%) and Japan (6.4%).
“As the global semiconductor market expands in the years ahead, it’s critical leaders in Washington advance policies that enable America to capture a significant share of that new growth and innovation, which will help propel US economic strength and national security,” Neuffer added.
