The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) recently reported that global semiconductor sales reached $110.5 billion in April 2026, a rise by 11% compared to March 2026 ($99.5 billion) and 93.9% more than April 2025 ($56.9 billion).
In addition, SIA endorsed the WSTS Spring 2026 global semiconductor sales forecast, which projects annual global sales will grow by 90% to $1.5 trillion in 2026 – reaching that milestone earlier than previously expected – fueled by increasing demand for AI infrastructure and accelerated computing platforms. In 2027, global sales are projected to exceed $1.9 trillion.
Global semiconductor sales increased on a month-to-month basis for the 14th consecutive month in April, and the global market continues to notch robust year-to-year growth driven by sales into the Asia-Pacific region, the Americas, and China.
