European semiconductor sales in June rose to $3.185 billion, an increase of 12.1% from the same month one year ago, says the European Semiconductor Industry Association.
Q2 sales were $9.556 billion, an increase of 12.1% from Q2 2013 and of 3.5% from Q1 2014.
In the first half of 2014, European semiconductor sales grew by 10.2% compared with the first half of 2013.
On a month-to-month basis, the European market increased by 1.9% in June and performance remained robust across all the main product groups.
Some noteworthy improvement was seen in the areas of Discrete, Logic and Optoelectronics, up 4.8%, 4.1% and 2.5%, respectively from May.
Leading end use market segments in June were consumer, wired and wireless communication applications.
Worldwide sales of semiconductors in June 2014 were $27.567 billion, up 2.6% from May 2014 and up 10.8% from June 2013. It was the highest ever monthly sales figure for the industry.
Q2 sales were up 5.4% on Q1 and up 10.8% on Q2 2013.
Year-to-date sales during the first half of 2014 were 11.1% higher than they were at the same point in 2013, which was a record year for semiconductor revenues, reports the SIA.
“Through the first half of 2014, the global semiconductor market has demonstrated consistent, across-the-board growth, with the Americas region continuing to show particular strength,” says SIA CEO Brian Toohey, “the industry posted its highest-ever second quarter sales and outperformed the latest WSTS sales forecast. Looking forward, macroeconomic indicators – including solid U.S. GDP growth announced last week – bode well for continued growth in the second half of 2014 and beyond.”
Regionally, sales were up compared to last month in the Americas (4.9 percent), Asia Pacific (2.1 percent), Japan (2.1 percent), and Europe (1.9 percent). Compared to June 2013, sales increased in the Americas (12.1 percent), Europe (12.1 percent), Asia Pacific (10.5 percent), and Japan (8.5 percent).
All four regional markets have posted better year-to-date sales through the first half of than they did through the same point last year.
