Global semiconductor sales reached 88.8 billion dollars in February 2026, up 61.8 percent from a year earlier. The figures, published by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) and based on data provided by WSTS, point to a market that’s still accelerating. WSTS currently forecasts the global chip market to reach about 975 billion dollars this year, close enough for the industry to start talking about the 1-trillion threshold that only a few years ago was still projected for 2030.
