[SMM Tin Express: Semiconductor Industry Expected to Break Through the $10 Trillion Mark for the First Time in 2026]

Published: Feb 9, 2026 09:34
Driven by the widespread application of artificial intelligence and computer chips across various sectors of the economy, the semiconductor industry's revenue is expected to reach $1 trillion for the first time this year. According to forecasts by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), total semiconductor sales will reach $791.7 billion in 2025 and grow by an additional 26% in 2026. SIA CEO John Neuffer stated that the semiconductor market's breakthrough of the trillion-dollar milestone has occurred much faster than anticipated, which is a positive sign for the entire business world. Strong demand for new-type data center computers has brought substantial profits to NVIDIA, Micron Technology, and other chip manufacturers. This has enabled the industry to consistently exceed growth expectations. Neuffer noted that previous forecasters believed it might take another four years for the industry to reach the trillion-dollar scale.
