Driven by booming demand in Asia and the Americas, global semiconductor sales surged 21.7% YoY in August 2025, signalling a rebound in the chip industry.
Global semiconductor sales climbed to $64.9 billion in August 2025, marking a 21.7% increase from $53.3 billion in August 2024, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA). The latest figures, compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), also show a 4.4% month-on-month rise from $62.1 billion in July 2025.
SIA President and CEO John Neuffer said the global chip market continued its upward momentum, with strong demand across key regions. “Sales in the Asia-Pacific region and the Americas continue to drive growth, with sales of memory and logic chips notably increasing,” he noted.
Regionally, the Asia Pacific/All Other market led growth with a 43.1% jump year-on-year, reaching $18.31 billion in August, up from $12.80 billion last year. The Americas followed with a 25.5% rise, totalling $20.78 billion, compared with $16.56 billion a year earlier. China also posted a solid 12.4% increase to $17.63 billion, while Europe saw modest growth of 4.4% to $4.44 billion. However, Japan experienced a 6.9% decline, with sales slipping to $3.72 billion from $4.00 billion in 2024.
On a month-to-month basis, sales rose across all regions. The Asia Pacific/All Other segment recorded the highest increase at 6.9%, followed by the Americas at 4.3%, China at 3.3%, Japan at 2.0%, and Europe at 1%.
The three-month moving average for global semiconductor sales reached $64.88 billion for June–August, up 9.9% from $59.06 billion in the March–May period. Regionally, the Americas grew 12.7%, Asia Pacific/All Other rose 17.9%, and China advanced 3.9%, while Europe and Japan posted smaller increases of 0.6% and 0.7%, respectively.
With SIA representing 99% of US semiconductor revenues and two-thirds of non-US chip companies, the data highlights a strong rebound in global chip demand. The continuing rise in memory and logic chip sales indicates renewed strength across both consumer and industrial electronics markets.
