The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today announced global semiconductor sales totaled $88.8 billion in February 2026. This represents an increase of 7.6% compared to the January 2026 total of $82.5 billion and 61.8% more than the February 2025 total of $54.9 billion. Monthly sales are compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization and represent a three-month moving average. SIA represents 99% of the U.S. semiconductor industry by revenue and nearly two-thirds of non-U.S. chip firms.
Regionally, year-to-year sales in February increased in Asia Pacific/All Other by 93.5%, the Americas by 59.2%, China by 57.4%, and Europe by 42.3%, but declined in Japan by 0.3%. Month-to-month sales increased in the Americas by 12.6%, Europe by 10.2%, Asia Pacific/All Other by 6.0%, China by 3.6%, and Japan by 3.0%.
“Global chip sales remained very strong in February, exceeding January’s totals and far outpacing sales from February of last year,” said John Neuffer, SIA president and CEO. “Sales into the Asia-Pacific region, the Americas, and China were all major drivers of year-to-year growth. Strong global demand is expected to persist during the remainder of the year, with annual sales projected to reach roughly $1 trillion globally.”
