August 5, 2025 /SemiMedia/ — Global semiconductor sales reached $179.7 billion in the second quarter of 2025, up 7.8% from the previous quarter, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA). The figures underscore continued momentum in chip demand, especially in Asia and the Americas.

SIA President and CEO John Neuffer noted that Q2 sales rose nearly 8% from Q1 and were almost 20% higher than the same period last year. He attributed the strong year-on-year performance to robust growth in the Asia-Pacific (excluding China and Japan) and Americas regions. Neuffer expects the market to maintain this upward trajectory through the second half of the year.

In June 2025 alone, global chip sales totaled $59.9 billion, a 19.6% increase from June 2024 and a 1.5% rise from May 2025.

By region, year-on-year sales growth was recorded in Asia Pacific excluding China and Japan (+34.2%), the Americas (+24.1%), China (+13.1%), and Europe (+5.3%). Japan was the only region to see a decline, down 2.9% from a year ago.

Month-on-month, sales edged up in Asia Pacific excluding China and Japan (+5.8%) and in China (+0.8%), while declining slightly in the Americas (-0.2%), Europe (-0.7%), and Japan (-1.7%).
