Asia-Pacific annual chip market growth joins Americas’ above 40%
The global chip market continued to boom in February with chip sales into the Asia-Pacific region up 41.4 percent higher than a year before on a three-month average basis, according to the US-based Semiconductor Industry Association.
Asia-Pacific joined the Americas region at above 40 percent annual growth, helping to pull the global chip market growth higher to 32.4 percent year-on-year.
Asia-Pacific’s growth was up from 21 percent growth the month before. Given the tempering characteristic of moving averages this suggests a phenomenal change in the most recent data added. The latest market movements also give rise to the unusual circumstance of the China being on a par with Japan as the slowest growing regions albeit with a respectable 21 percent annual growth.
根据世界半导体贸易统计组织（SIA）报告的三个月平均销售，欧洲芯片市场的年增长率为29.3％，年增长率为29.3％。
As a result, the global semiconductor market in February 2022 was valued at US$52.48 billion up 32.4 percent on a year before.
