Global Semiconductor Sales Decrease 15.5 Percent Year-to-Year in July
Global sales increase slightly on a month-to-month basis, but all regional markets down compared to last year
WASHINGTON—Sept 3, 2019—The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today announced worldwide sales of semiconductors were $33.4 billion in July 2019, 1.7 percent more than the June 2019 total of $32.8 billion, but 15.5 percent less than the July 2018 total of $39.5 billion. Monthly sales are compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization and represent a three-month moving average. SIA represents U.S. leadership in semiconductor manufacturing, design, and research.
“While global semiconductor sales in July were once again down on a year-to-year basis, month-to-month sales were up slightly,” said John Neuffer, SIA president and CEO. “Month-to-month sales increased modestly across most regional markets in July, with Asia Pacific and the Americas posting the largest gains, although sales into the Americas remained down on a year-to-year basis.”
Regionally, sales increased on a month-to-month basis in Asia Pacific/All Other (3.1 percent), the Americas (2.5 percent), China (1.1 percent), and Japan (0.7 percent), but decreased in Europe (-0.5 percent). On a year-to-year basis, sales were down across all regional markets: Europe (-8.6 percent), Asia Pacific/All Other (-11.0 percent), Japan (-12.0 percent), China (-14.1 percent), and the Americas (-27.8 percent).
