According to the Semiconductor Industry Association (Semiconductor Industry Association), according to statistics released by the 2021 global chip sales and sales record highs. Among them, the sales of 1.15 trillion; Sales of $555.9 billion, up 26.2% from a year earlier. In 2022, according to the association of global chip sales growth is expected to slow.

Global chip sales in 2021 for the first time since 2018, more than 1 trillion. The semiconductor industry association, President and chief executive John Neuffer, points out that "in 2021, under the condition of the shortage of global chip continues, semiconductor, dramatically improves the production reached unprecedented levels, in response to continued high demand, so as to realize the chip sales and sales record."

In regional terms, in 2021, the U.S. market biggest chip sales growth (27.4%); China still is the biggest single semiconductor market, the Chinese chip sales amounted to $192.5 billion, up 27.1%; Europe, Asia Pacific/other area and Japanese chip sales year-on-year growth of 27.3%, 25.9% and 19.8% respectively.

In 2021, a number of areas of semiconductor products performance is very outstanding. Which used in the field of automobile, consumer goods, computer simulation of semiconductor sales reached $74 billion, up 33.1% from a year earlier, a record high.

In terms of specific products, semiconductor logic and storage of semiconductor sales were $154.8 billion and $153.8 billion respectively, year-on-year growth of 30.8% and 30.9%, is one of the largest semiconductor products sales. Microprocessors, such as micro IC sales rose 15.1%, to $80.2 billion. All the storage products sales up 24.5% from a year earlier. Auto IC sales rose 34.3% to a record $26.4 billion.

The society also predicts that as the chip manufacturers continue to expand production capacity to meet market demand, global chip sales to increase by 8.8% in 2022. Neuffer said, "I think demand tends to increase, but not as sharply as during epidemic growth." Overall, relative to 2021, global chip sales growth in 2022 is expected to slow.

It is understood that in the past year, TSMC, major semiconductor manufacturers such as samsung electronics and Intel announced tens of billions of dollars in investment, to build the new factory.

【 commentary 】

2021 for chip with high demand related manufacturing industry is a tough year, "seize" a chip become the main work of purchasing department, but also in the face of price increases for dozens of times purchasing cost. As countries, to the attention of the chip industry chain gradually put into production of the new factory, semiconductor manufacturers production capacity, alleviate and gradually expand, in 2021, the shortage of "core" status will be rare.
