Global semiconductor sales reached $517.7 billion in the third quarter of 2026, up 24.1% from the prior quarter, according to World Semiconductor Trade Statistics data released by the Semiconductor Industry Association, marking the third consecutive quarter of quarter-over-quarter growth above 20%. September sales alone totaled $172.6 billion, up 146.8% year-over-year and 7.9% from August on a three-month moving average basis. Year-over-year regional growth was led by the Americas at 191.7%, followed by Asia-Pacific/other at 141.4%, China at 124.9%, Europe at 102.5% and Japan at 73.4%, with the Americas also posting an 11.0% month-over-month gain. The sustained triple-digit annual increases across every major region signal an unusually broad and synchronized upcycle in semiconductor demand rather than growth concentrated in a single market.
