The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), Washington, announces that the global semiconductor industry posted sales totaling $412.2 billion in 2017, the industry\u2019s highest-ever annual sales and an increase of 21.6 percent compared to the 2016 total. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Global sales for the month of December 2017 reached $38.0 billion, an increase of 22.5 percent over the December 2016 total and 0.8 percent more than the previous month\u2019s total. Fourth-quarter sales of $114.0 billion were 22.5 percent higher than the total from the fourth quarter of 2016 and 5.7 percent more than the third quarter of 2017. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Global sales during the fourth quarter of 2017 and during December 2017 were the industry\u2019s highest-ever quarterly and monthly sales, respectively. All monthly sales numbers are compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization and represent a three-month moving average.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Several semiconductor product segments stood out in 2017. Memory was the largest semiconductor category by sales with $124.0 billion in 2017, and the fastest growing, with sales increasing 61.5 percent. Within the memory category, sales of DRAM products increased 76.8 percent and sales of NAND flash products increased 47.5 percent. Logic ($102.2 billion) and micro-ICs ($63.9 billion) \u2013 a category that includes microprocessors \u2013 rounded out the top three product categories in terms of total sales. Other fast-growing product categories in 2017 included rectifiers (18.3 percent), diodes (16.4 percent), and sensors and actuators (16.2 percent). Even without sales of memory products, sales of all other products combined increased by nearly 10 percent in 2017.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Annual sales increased substantially across all regions: the Americas (35.0 percent), China (22.2 percent), Europe (17.1 percent), Asia Pacific\/All Other (16.4 percent), and Japan (13.3 percent). The Americas market also led the way in growth for the month of December 2017, with sales up 41.4 percent year-to-year and 2.1 percent month-to-month. Next were Europe (20.2 percent\/-1.6 percent), China (18.1 percent\/1.0 percent), Asia Pacific\/All Other (17.4 percent\/0.2 percent), and Japan (14.0 percent\/0.9 percent).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
