Global semiconductor sales are increasingly positive with overall sales totaling $28.5 billion! This is an increase of 8.7% from January 2014 which is great news indeed! The totals for January 2015 is the industry's highest ever January total. Doing particularly well are the Americas which have increased by 16.4% compared to this time last year.
The figures come from the Semiconductor Industry Association and their CEO John Neuffer was very pleased with the results: "After a record-setting 2014, the global semiconductor industry is off to a promising start to 2015, posting its highest-ever January sales led by impressive growth in the Americas market."
After such a great year in 2014 it seems like 2015 may well be shaping up to be just as positive! Keep up to date with all the industry news by subscribing to our blog, liking us on Facebook or connecting on LinkedIn

Semiconductor Industry Posts Highest-Ever January Sales
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) announced that worldwide sales of semiconductors reached $26.28 billion for the month of January 2014. This was an increase of 8.8% from January 2013 when sales reached $24.15 billion, meaning this was the industry's highest-ever January sales total.
Global sales from January 2014 were 1.4% lower than the December 2013 total of $26.65 billion which reflects normal seasonal trends.
“The global semiconductor industry has built on its record revenues from 2013 with an impressive start to 2014, led largely by continued strength in the Americas market,” said Brian Toohey, president and CEO, Semiconductor Industry Association. “Sales in January were up across most regions and nearly all product categories compared to last January, which bodes well for continued growth during the rest of 2014.”
Regionally, year-over-year sales increased in the Americas by 17.3%, Europe by 11.3%, and Asia Pacific by 8.3%, but decreased in Japan by -4.7%. Sales were flat in Europe compared to the previous month, but decreased slightly in Asia Pacific by -0.6%, Japan by -2.3%, and the Americas by -3.5%.
