　　April semiconductor sales were up 0.7% onMarch and up 11.5% on April 2013 to reach $26.34 billion, reports the SIA.

　　“The global semiconductor market maintained its strong momentum inApril, with year-over-year sales increasing across every region and productcategory,” says SIA CEO Brian Toohey, “the market remains well ahead of thepace set in 2013, which was a record year for semiconductor revenues. Aprilmarked the twelfth consecutive month that year-over-year sales have increased,and we expect that trend to continue during the remainder of 2014 and into2015.”

　　Regionally, sequential monthly salesincreased in Asia Pacific (1.7%) and Japan (1.1%), but decreased in Europe(-0.6%) and the Americas (-1.6%).

　　The SIA endorses the WSTS Spring 2014global semiconductor sales forecast, which projects the industry’s worldwidesales will reach $325.4 billion in 2014, a 6.5% increase from the 2013 salestotal.

　　WSTS now predicts year-over-year increasesfor 2014 in Asia Pacific (9.3%), Europe (7.9%), and the Americas (2.1%), with aslight decline projected for Japan (-1.3%).

　　Beyond 2014, the industry is expected togrow steadily and moderately across all regions, according to the WSTSforecast. WSTS predicts 3.3% growth globally for 2015 ($336.1 billion in totalsales) and 4.3% growth for 2016 ($350.5 billion).
