WASHINGTON — Worldwide semiconductor sales were $44.5 billion in June, an increase of 29.2% year-over-year and 2.1% sequentially, says the Semiconductor Industry Association.

Second quarter sales were $133.6 billion, an increase of 29.2% over the second quarter of 2020, up 8.3% sequentially.

Monthly sales are compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics organization and represent a three-month moving average.

“Second quarter semiconductor sales were up significantly compared to the second quarter of last year, increasing across all major product categories and in every major regional market,” said John Neuffer, SIA president and CEO. “Demand for semiconductors is projected to continue to rise substantially in the long term, as the world continues using chips to become smarter, greener, more productive, and better connected. We urge leaders in Washington to enact funding for the CHIPS for America Act so America can capture a larger share of increased semiconductor production and innovation in the years ahead.”

Year-over-year sales increased in Europe (43.2%), Asia Pacific/All Other (34%), China (28.3%), the Americas (22.9%), and Japan (21.2%). Month-to-month sales increased in the Americas (5.4%), Japan (2.5%), Europe (2%), China (1.1%), and Asia Pacific/All Other (1%).
