After a double-digit growth spurt in 2010, semiconductor sales are expected to decline to the single digits over the next two years. The latest forecast from the Semiconductor Industry Association predicts worldwide chip sales for 2010 will top out at $300.5 billion–a 33 percent spike over 2009 sales.

Semiconductor Sales Growth Semi-Disappointing

Global chip sales continue to grow, though clearly not as quickly as some manufacturers–cough, Intel–would like. Though semiconductor sales rose to $25.2 billion in July–up 37 percent from a year ago–their month-over-month growth wasn’t nearly as impressive.

January Chip Sales Up 47 Percent Year-Over-Year

The Semiconductor Industry Association’s prediction of healthy growth for chip demand in 2010 seems to be panning out. Though January is typically a weak month, global semiconductor sales rose slightly thanks to solid demand for personal computers, cellphones and other consumer electronics.

Global Chip Sales Down 9 Percent in 2009–Not 11 Percent

Global chip sales fell nine percent in 2009, beaten down by the econalypse, which hamstrung demand for all manner of consumer electronics. A nasty drop, but not nearly as bad as it could have been or, indeed, what was expected. Because at $226.3 billion, total chip sales for the year were far better than the $219.7 billion the Semiconductor Industry Association had been expecting.

2009 semiconductor sales are down from 2008 by nearly record amounts, but they’re improving. That’s the latest word from the Semiconductor Industry Association, which said today that global chip sales rose in September from the previous month–the seventh straight month of gains.

Global Chip Sales Down 21.3 Percent Year-to-Date. But Hey, They Rose Five Percent in August!

Worldwide sales of semiconductors in August rose five percent over July, racking up their sixth month of consecutive gains, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association. Great news were it not for the fact that at $19.1 billion, August sales were down a horrific 16.1 percent year-over-year. Furthermore, for the first eight months of 2009, sales are at $133.8 billion–about 21.3 percent below what they were at this time last year.

Q2 Chip Sales Not Too Horribly Awful

Looks like the semiconductor industry has finally found a bottom from which to scramble upward. In the second quarter, chip sales registered their fourth consecutive monthly increase, the Semiconductor Industry Association said today, suggesting that we may be seeing the beginning of a gradual recovery in the industry. Though worldwide chip sales fell 20 percent year-over-year in the second quarter, they rose 17 percent from the first quarter.

April Chip Sales Less Awful Than Usual

A bit of good news today amid the chip industry’s seemingly endless procession of bad. Sales of semiconductors rose 6.4 percent globally from March to April to $15.6 billion, according to the latest metrics from the Semiconductor Industry Association. But at $15.6 billion, they were still about 25 percent below the $20.9 billion reported last April.
