Notably, the Americas and the Asia-Pacific region exhibited significant sales gains, with year-over-year jumps of 44.4% and 23.1%, respectively. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), this April's sales marked the first positive sequential growth of the year, primarily fueled by robust demand in the Americas and the Asia-Pacific region. The World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) anticipates that the global semiconductor market will continue its steady expansion in 2025, driven by surging demand for artificial intelligence (AI), cloud infrastructure, and advanced consumer electronics.
