KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 7): Global semiconductor industry sales dipped 4.6% year-on-year (y-o-y) in October to US$46.9 billion from US$49.1 billion, according to the US-based Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA).

In a statement on its website on Monday (Dec 5), SIA said the figure was 0.3% lower month-on-month from US$47 billion in September.

Monthly sales are compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization and represent a three-month moving average.

SIA president and CEO John Neuffer said global semiconductor sales ticked down again in October, with sales decreasing on a year-to-year basis by the largest percentage since December 2019.

 “Sales into the Americas market stood out as a bright spot in October, increasing by double-digits compared to the same month last year,” he said.

SIA said that regionally, year-to-year sales increased in the Americas (11.4%), Europe (9.3%), and Japan (3.9%), but decreased in Asia-Pacific/all others (-10.1%) and China (-16.2%).

Month-to-month sales increased in the Americas (2.2%) and Europe (0.2%), but fell in Japan (-0.1%), China (-1.5%), and Asia-Pacific/all others (-1.6%).
