WASHINGTON, DC – Global semiconductor sales totaled $82.5 billion in January, increasing 3.7% from December’s $79.6 billion and jumping 46.1% compared with $56.5 billion in January 2025, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA).

The monthly figures, compiled by World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), reflect a three-month moving average of industry sales.

“Following the semiconductor industry’s highest-ever sales total in 2025, the global chip market continued to grow in January of this year, topping December’s results and far outpacing sales from January of last year,” said John Neuffer, SIA president and CEO. “Sales into the Asia Pacific region and China were major drivers of year-to-year growth, and global sales are projected to reach roughly $1 trillion in 2026.”

Regionally, year-over-year sales rose sharply in Asia Pacific/All Other (82.4%), China (47.0%), the Americas (34.9%), and Europe (26.1%), while Japan declined 6.2%.

Month-to-month sales increased in China (5.8%), Europe (5.3%), Asia Pacific/All Other (5.0%), and the Americas (1.2%), but slipped 1.7% in Japan.
