This week (June 15-19), the data highlights in the semiconductor industry are as follows: In the first quarter of this year, the global semiconductor market revenue reached $319 billion, up 27% quarter-over-quarter, with memory revenue being the main driver, surging by over 80%. Omdia predicts that the semiconductor market will continue to grow in the second quarter, but the growth rate may slow to just over 20%. Data from the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics organization shows that the global semiconductor market size reached $299 billion in the first quarter, up 25% quarter-over-quarter and 79% year-over-year, primarily driven by the artificial intelligence industry. Additionally, prices of compound semiconductor materials have risen across the board, with some varieties surging by over 200% within the year. In terms of wafer foundry, the top ten global wafer foundries achieved a combined revenue of $47.95 billion in the first quarter of 2026, up 3.7% quarter-over-quarter and 31.7% year-over-year. In the memory chip sector, the global NAND flash memory market revenue reached $46 billion in the first quarter, with the market size nearly doubling quarter-over-quarter.
