The European Semiconductor Industry Association (ESIA) said that sales in January 2015 were weak – but that’s true for most other regions too because of seasonal factors.
Sales in Europe were driven by discrete semi devices, optoelectronic devices, microprocessors and MOS.
Semiconductor sales amount to $2.944 billion – that’s a drop of 3.2 percent compared to the same period the year before.
Worldwide, semiconductor sales in January amounted to $28.532 billion – up by 8.7 percent compared to January 2014.
EISA released the following chart for the worldwide market.
