The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today announced global semiconductor industry sales totaled $75.3 billion during the month of November 2025, an increase of 29.8% compared to the November 2024 total of $58.0 billion and 3.5% more than the October 2025 total of $72.7 billion. Monthly sales are compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization and represent a three-month moving average. SIA represents 99% of the U.S. semiconductor industry by revenue and nearly two-thirds of non-U.S. chip firms.
“The global semiconductor industry posted its highest-ever monthly sales total in November, with demand increasing across all major product categories on a month-to-month basis,” said John Neuffer, SIA president and CEO. “Looking ahead, the global chip market is projected to grow substantially in 2026, reaching nearly $1 trillion in annual sales.”
Regionally, year-to-year sales were up in Asia Pacific/All Other (66.1%), the Americas (23.0%), China (22.9%), and Europe (11.1%), but down in Japan (-8.9%).
