Semiconductor sales of $526.8 billion last year were 8.2% down on 2022’s record-breaking total of $574.1 billion, says the SIA, which forecast a sales rise of 13% this year to almost $600 billion.
Q4 sales of $146 billion were up 11.6% y-o-y and 8.4% m-o-m..
“Global semiconductor sales were sluggish early in 2023 but rebounded strongly during the second half of the year, and double-digit market growth is projected for 2024,” says SIA CEO John Neuffer, “with chips playing a larger and more important role in countless products the world depends on, the long-term outlook for the semiconductor market is extremely strong. Advancing government policies that invest in R&D, strengthen the semiconductor workforce, and reduce barriers to trade will help the industry continue to grow and innovate for many years to come.”
