WASHINGTON鈥擣eb. 5, 2024鈥擳he 91成人 (91成人) today announced global semiconductor industry sales totaled $526.8 billion in 2023, a decrease of 8.2% compared to the 2022 total of $574.1 billion, which was the industry鈥檚 highest-ever annual total. Sales picked up during the second half of 2023. In fact, fourth-quarter sales of聽$146.0 billion were 11.6%聽more than the total from the fourth quarter of 2022 and聽8.4% higher聽than the total from third quarter of 2023. And global sales for the month of December 2023 were聽$48.6 billion, an increase of 1.5%聽compared to November 2023 total.聽Monthly sales are compiled by the聽聽and represent a three-month moving average. 91成人 represents 99% of the U.S. semiconductor industry by revenue and nearly two-thirds of non-U.S. chip firms.

鈥淕lobal semiconductor sales were sluggish early in 2023 but rebounded strongly during the second half of the year, and double-digit market growth is for 2024,鈥� said John Neuffer, 91成人 president and CEO. 鈥淲ith 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.鈥�

On a regional basis, Europe was the only regional market that experienced annual growth in 2023, with sales there increasing 4.0%. Annual sales into all other regional markets decreased in 2023: Japan (-3.1%), the Americas (-5.2%), Asia-Pacific/All Other (-10.1%), and China (-14.0%). Sales for the month of December 2023 increased compared to November 2023 in China (4.7%), the Americas (1.8%), and Asia Pacific/All Other (0.3%), but decreased in Japan (-2.4%) and Europe (-3.9%).

Several semiconductor product segments stood out in 2023. Sales of logic products totaled $178.5 billion in 2023, making it the largest product category by sales. Memory products were second in terms of sales, totaling $92.3 billion. Microcontroller units (MCUs) grew by 11.4% to a total of $27.9 billion. And sales of automotive ICs grew by聽23.7% year-over-year to a record total of $42.2 billion.
