Global semiconductor sales hit $64.9 billion in August 2025, marking a 21.7% year-on-year increase and signaling strong chip market growth worldwide. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), sales rose 4.4% from July’s $62.1 billion, further continuing the industry’s steady recovery driven by memory and logic demand.
This growth reflects key dynamics shaping component supply, pricing, and technology development across Europe’s semiconductor value chain — from design to manufacturing.

Asia Pacific and Americas lead the charge
According to SIA, sales growth was particularly strong in the Asia Pacific/All Other region, which surged 43.1% year-on-year, followed by the Americas with 25.5% growth. China also posted a solid 12.4% gain, while Europe saw a modest 4.4% increase. Japan, however, recorded a 6.9% decline.
Furthermore, on a month-to-month basis, sales rose across all major regions: Asia Pacific/All Other (6.9%), Americas (4.3%), China (3.3%), Japan (2.0%), and Europe (1.0%).
“Global semiconductor sales continued to grow in August, far exceeding sales in August of last year,” said John Neuffer, SIA president and CEO. “Sales in the Asia Pacific region and the Americas continue to drive growth, with sales of memory and logic chips notably increasing.”
Strong outlook for chipmakers
The continuing rebound in semiconductor demand points to renewed investment momentum across the global chip industry — with European players benefiting from stable regional growth and expanding global capacity.
