Global semiconductor sales increase 2.7% in September
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) has announced that worldwide sales of semiconductors were $25.8bn for the month of September, an increase of 2.7% from the prior month when sales were $25.1bn (see Ti Dashboard – Semi Conductor Sales).
Overall quarter-over-quarter sales increased 2.1% and on a year-to-date basis sales grew 2.2%. All monthly sales numbers represent a three-month moving average.
"September’s global sales demonstrate an optimistic close to the third quarter," said Brian Toohey, president, Semiconductor Industry Association. "While global economic uncertainty creates limited visibility for the remainder of the year, recent positive indicators and developments in the US and Europe are encouraging."
Most notable was a 13.7% quarter-over-quarter increase in Japan which was driven by progress made in the country’s recovery efforts. Additionally, strong demand for automotive applications and mobile processing in handheld devices like smart phones, tablets and eReaders added to the quarter-over-quarter increase.
