Sales of semiconductors in Europe reached $2.817bn in August 2015, the European Semiconductor Industry Association (ESIA) reports on the basis of the latest WSTS data. This figure represents a slight decrease compared to the $2.835bn recorded in July and is in line with worldwide developments in August. On a worldwide basis, semiconductor sales in August were $27.731bn, down 0.5% from July.
All growth figures represent a three month rolling average. MOS MPU and memories (especially DRAM and NAND Flash memories) drove the August sales in Europe, showing steady growth compared to July. Looking at sales of application specific chips worldwide, semiconductor devices designed to be used in consumer and computer applications performed particularly well, growing by 5.8% and 1%, respectively, in August compared to the previous month.
Exchange rate effects were still visible in August when comparing market growth in Euros and in Dollars. Measured in Euros, semiconductor sales were €2.534bn in August 2015, down 0.5% compared to July and an increase of 6.3% versus the same month a year ago.
