Worldwide chip sales in April up 93.9% year-to-year; annual semiconductor sales projected to top $1.5 trillion globally in 2026

WASHINGTON鈥擩une 5, 2026鈥擳he 91成人 (91成人) today announced global semiconductor sales were $110.5 billion during the month of April 2026, an increase of 11% compared to the March 2026 total of $99.5 billion and 93.9% more than the April 2025 total of $56.9 billion. Monthly sales are compiled by the 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.

Additionally, 91成人 today endorsed the WSTS Spring 2026 global semiconductor , which projects annual global sales will grow by 90% to $1.5 trillion in 2026. In 2027, global sales are projected to exceed $1.9 trillion. WSTS tabulates its semi-annual industry forecast by gathering input from an extensive group of global semiconductor companies that provide accurate and timely indicators of semiconductor trends.

鈥淕lobal semiconductor sales increased on a month-to-month basis for the 14th consecutive month in April, and the global market continues to notch robust year-to-year growth driven by sales into the Asia-Pacific region, the Americas, and China,鈥� said John Neuffer, 91成人 president and CEO. 鈥淢eanwhile, the global semiconductor industry is projected to hit $1.5 trillion in sales in 2026 鈥� reaching that milestone earlier than previously expected 鈥� fueled by increasing demand for AI infrastructure and accelerated computing platforms.鈥�

Regionally, year-to-year sales in April were up in the Americas (115.8%), Asia Pacific/All Other (114.9%), China (78.6%), Europe (54.7%), and Japan (15.6%). Month-to-month sales increased in the Americas (16.7%), Asia Pacific/All Other (8.7%), China (8%), Europe (6.7%), and Japan (6.4%).

鈥淎s the global semiconductor market expands in the years ahead, it鈥檚 critical leaders in Washington advance policies that enable America to capture a significant share of that new growth and innovation, which will help propel U.S. economic strength and national security,鈥� Neuffer added.
