Global semiconductor sales reached $41.8 billion in April, increasing 1.9% from March and 21.7% from April 2020, reported the Semiconductor Industry Association Wednesday. “Global demand for semiconductors remained high in April, as reflected by rising sales across a range of chip products and throughout each of the world’s major regional markets,” said SIA President John Neuffer. “The global chip market is projected to grow substantially in 2021 and 2022 as semiconductors become increasingly integral to the game-changing technologies of today and the future.” Year-over-year sales increased 25.7% in China, 24.3% in Asia Pacific, 20.1% in Europe, 17.6% in Japan and 14.3% in the Americas, said SIA.
