Fourth quarter sales of&nbsp;$93.0 billion&nbsp;were 12.3% higher than the total from the fourth quarter of 2015 and 5.4 % more than the third quarter of 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAll monthly sales numbers are compiled by the&nbsp;World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization&nbsp;and represent a three-month moving average.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&#8220;Following a slow start to the year, the global semiconductor market picked up steam mid-year and never looked back, reaching nearly&nbsp;$340 billion&nbsp;in sales in 2016, the industry&#8217;s highest-ever annual total,&#8221; said&nbsp;John Neuffer, president and CEO, Semiconductor Industry Association. &#8220;Market growth was driven by macroeconomic factors, industry trends, and the ever-increasing amount of semiconductor technology in devices the world depends on for working, communicating, manufacturing, treating illness, and countless other applications. We expect modest growth to continue in 2017 and beyond.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSeveral semiconductor product segments stood out in 2016. Logic was the largest semiconductor category by sales with&nbsp;$91.5 billion&nbsp;in 2016, or 27.0% of the&nbsp;total semiconductor market. Memory ($76.8 billion) and micro-ICs ($60.6 billion) \u2013 a category that includes microprocessors \u2013 rounded out the top three segments in terms of total sales. Sensors and actuators was the fastest growing segment, increasing 22.7% in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.semiconductors.org\/\">www.semiconductors.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), Washington, D.C., announces that the global semiconductor industry posted sales totaling $338.9 billion in 2016, the industry&#8217;s highest-ever annual sales and a modest increase of 1.1%  over the 2015 total.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63082,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[446,434,450,438,435,436,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4021","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-consumer-products","category-electronics","category-general","category-nanotechnology","category-news","category-news-articles","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
