“Following its highest-ever annual sales total in 2024, the global semiconductor market maintained momentum in January, hitting its highest-ever monthly sales total for the month of January, despite a slight decline from the month of December,” said John Neuffer, SIA president and CEO, in a press release. “Year-to-year sales increased by more than 17% for the ninth consecutive month, driven by a 50.7% year-to-year sales increase into the Americas.”
