November Semiconductor Sales to Americas Up for 11th-Straight Month: SIA

Global semiconductor sales increased 7% in November from a year earlier, up 1.1% sequentially, reported the Semiconductor Industry Association. It was the largest year-on-year monthly increase since March, said CEO John Neuffer. Sales for 2020 were tracking “well ahead of the total from 2019, despite substantial headwinds caused by the pandemic and other macroeconomic factors,” he said. Sales into the Americas jumped 12.5% from a year earlier in November, the 11th-straight month of double-digit increases, he said.
