European semiconductor sales declined month-on-month
European semiconductor sales reached $3.359bn for the month of April 2019, a decrease of 1.2% from the March-2019 total of $3.358bn, the European Semiconductor Industry Association announced, based on the latest report compiled by the WSTS. The main drivers of April’s European sales were optoelectronic, logic and memory chips. All growth figures represent a three-month rolling average.
Looking at application-specific semiconductors, devices especially designed for automotive and computer applications performed particularly well in April. On a worldwide basis, semiconductor sales in April 2019 were $32.127bn, down 0.4 percent versus the previous month and up 0.5% versus the same month in 2018.
Exchange rate effects continued to affect the European sales picture, when comparing market growth in Euros and in Dollars. Measured in Euros, April’s semiconductor sales were €2.977bn Euros, down 0.7% versus the previous month; however, they increased compared to the same month one year ago. In the January-to-April timeframe, semiconductor sales also increased compared to the same period in 2018.
