August marked the market’s largest month-to-month growth since May 2013.
“The global market recently has shown signs of a rebound, punctuated by solid growth in August,” said John Neuffer, president and CEO, Semiconductor Industry Association. “The Americas market was particularly encouraging, with a 6% month-to-month growth for the first time in nearly three years. Global sales are still behind last year’s pace, but appear to be on the right track as 2017 draws closer.”
Month-to-month sales increased across all regions: the Americas (6.3%), Japan (4.8%), China (3.1%), Asia Pacific/All Other (2.7%), and Europe (0.7%). Year-to-year sales increased in China (7.1%) and Japan (2.2%), but fell in Asia Pacific/All Other (-2.7%), the Americas (-3.1%), and Europe (-3.3%).
