The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) reported a remarkable rise in global semiconductor sales, reaching $53.1 billion in August 2024—up 20.6% from $44.0 billion in August 2023. This marks the highest recorded sales for August and a 3.5% increase compared to July. According to SIA President John Neuffer, this growth is driven by a significant 43.9% year-over-year increase in the Americas and marks the fifth consecutive month of rising sales. Monthly sales were up across all regions for the first time since October 2023.
