On July 10th, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) released its annual State of the U.S. Semiconductor Industry report that provides a snapshot of where the global semiconductor industry stands in 2025.
Here are some key highlights:
📌 In 2024, global semiconductor industry sales hit $630.5 billion, topping $600 billion in annual sales for the first time.
📌 Estimates from the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) project that worldwide semiconductor industry sales will increase to $701 billion in 2025, marking growth of 11.2% compared to 2024.
📌 Rising demand from cutting-edge applications such as AI, 5/6G communications, or autonomous vehicles has prompted industry to significantly increase global production capacity.
📌 As of July 2025, semiconductor companies have announced more than over half-a-trillion dollars in private-sector investments to revitalize the U.S. #chip ecosystem, setting in motion a projected tripling of U.S. chipmaking capacity by 2032.
📌 It is forecast that projects will create and support over 500,000 U.S. jobs – 68,000 facility jobs, 122,000 construction jobs, and over 320,000 additional jobs supported throughout the U.S. economy.
📌 Overseas governments provided hundreds of billions of dollars in financial incentives and a range of other support efforts to strengthen their domestic semiconductor ecosystems.
