Semiconductor industry on track to hit $1 trillion in sales in 2026, SIA predicts — bumper forecast follows $791.7 billion haul for 2025

The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) predicts that the global semiconductor industry is set to surpass $1 trillion in sales in 2026 following a record revenue of $791.7 billion in 2025. The growth is attributed to demand from the AI sector and increased prices across various microelectronics. Logic devices generated the most revenue in 2025, with memory products following closely. The industry's momentum accelerated towards the end of the year, with Q4 2025 sales reaching $236.6 billion. Sales growth was most significant in Asia Pacific and 'all other' markets, with notable increases in the Americas and China, while Japan experienced a decline in sales.
