April 13, 2026 /SemiMedia/ — Global semiconductor sales climbed to $88.8 billion in February, rising 7.6% from January and jumping 61.8% from a year earlier, data from the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) showed.
The increase points to steady demand across major end markets, with the industry continuing to recover after a softer period last year.
By region, Asia-Pacific and other markets saw the fastest growth, up 93.5% from a year earlier. Sales in the Americas rose 59.2%, while China recorded a 57.4% increase. Europe also posted solid growth at 42.3%, while Japan was flat with a slight decline of 0.3%.
On a monthly basis, all regions reported gains. The Americas led with a 12.6% increase, followed by Europe at 10.2%. Asia-Pacific, China and Japan also recorded smaller but steady growth.
SIA CEO John Neuffer said demand remained strong across regions, with multiple markets contributing to the increase. He added that the industry is expected to keep growing through 2026, with annual sales likely approaching $1 trillion.
