Global chip sales jump 20% in July as industry continues strong growth

Asia Pacific region's sales increaseed 35.6% year-to-year.

The global semiconductor industry posted strong results in July, with worldwide chip sales reaching $62.1b, a significant 20.6% increase from the same month last year, according to new data released by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA).

The July figures also showed steady month-to-month growth, rising 3.6% from June's $59.9b total.

This continued momentum reflects what industry leaders describe as robust demand, particularly in key markets across Asia and the Americas.

"Global semiconductor sales remained robust in July, topping June's results and far outpacing July of last year," said John Neuffer, president and CEO of the Semiconductor Industry Association. "Growth continues to be driven by solid demand in the Asia Pacific region and the Americas."

The year-over-year growth varied significantly by region. The Asia Pacific region led with a 35.6% increase, followed by the Americas at 29.3%. China saw more modest growth of 10.4%, while Europe recorded a 5.7% gain. Japan bucked the trend, experiencing a 6.3% decline compared to July 2024.

Looking at month-to-month changes, the Americas showed the strongest performance with an 8.6% increase from June, while the Asia Pacific region grew 4.9%. Europe remained flat, and both Japan and China saw slight declines of 0.2% and 1.3%, respectively.

The Semiconductor Industry Association represents 99% of the U.S. semiconductor industry by revenue and nearly two-thirds of chip companies outside the United States.
