Sales in 2020 grew 6.8% over the previous year, while 2021 was the first year since 2018 that the number of chips sold exceeded 1 trillion.

The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) said on Monday that global chip sales hit a record $555.9 billion in 2021, up 26.2% year on year, and it forecasts 8.8% growth for 2022 as chipmakers continue to beat demand. continue to build production capacity to completion.
SIA CEO John Nefer of very slow growth projected for 2022 said, “It’s still really moving very strongly towards increased demand. We’re not going to get the kind of slingshot effect we had in the pandemic.” “
Sales in 2020 grew 6.8% compared to the prior year, while 2021 was the first year since 2018 when the number of chips sold exceeded 1 trillion, he said.
While major semiconductor manufacturers such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Samsung Electronics Co. and Intel Corp. have announced investments of tens of billions of dollars for new factories over the past year, Nefer said the digitization trend from the pandemic will continue to increase. higher.
“We think in the near future that there will be a lot of demand for us to do very aggressive plant construction,” he said.
1.15 trillion semiconductors were sold in 2021, with the biggest increase in auto-grade chips that can withstand heat and other physical challenges, Nefer said. Sales for that segment increased 34% over the prior year to $26.4 billion. Unit sales grew 33%, he said.
SIA said China remained the largest individual market for semiconductors with total sales of $192.5 billion in 2021, an increase of 27.1%.
