Why it matters
The World Semiconductor Trade Statistics, endorsed by the Semiconductor Industry Association, projects that semiconductor sales are expected to grow 11.2% year over year, reaching $700.9 billion in 2025 and $760.7 billion in 2026. This growth trajectory is linked to the ongoing trend of U.S. investments supporting the return of chip production to the United States.
