Company Scale vs the Market

Trailing-12-month company revenue against trailing-12-month worldwide semiconductor sales (WSTS). Company totals can include non-semiconductor segments (e.g. Broadcom software) and equipment makers sell to fabs rather than into the chip market itself — bars are a scale comparison, not strict market share.

Semiconductors as an Economic Indicator

Semiconductor sales are one of the most watched leading indicators for global manufacturing and technology demand. Chips sit at the start of the electronics supply chain — orders respond to expected demand for servers, phones, cars, and industrial equipment months before those products ship. The industry is also famously cyclical: inventory swings amplify demand changes into boom-bust cycles of roughly three to five years.

Since 2023, AI infrastructure spending has driven an unprecedented concentration of industry revenue into data-center silicon, visible in the divergence between AI-exposed companies and the analog, automotive, and industrial chipmakers on this page. Our analysis Is the Chip Boom Just NVIDIA? quantifies that concentration quarter by quarter.

What Does This Data Show?

The market view tracks monthly billings by region from WSTS, the industry body whose data underpins most published market-size figures. Values are three-month moving averages in US dollars. The company view tracks quarterly revenue and net income for 15 major US-listed semiconductor companies, extracted from 10-Q and 10-K XBRL filings on SEC EDGAR. Fourth-quarter values are derived as full-year minus the three reported quarters where companies do not file a separate Q4 income statement.

Reading Market vs Company Data Together

WSTS measures sales of semiconductors into the market, while company filings measure revenue of individual producers. The two diverge for good reasons: fiscal calendars differ from calendar quarters, some companies (Broadcom, NVIDIA) report meaningful non-chip revenue, and equipment makers (Applied Materials, Lam Research, KLA) sell fab tools to chipmakers rather than chips themselves — their orders lead the market cycle by several quarters, which is exactly what makes them worth watching.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is the global semiconductor market?

Worldwide semiconductor sales totalled $1.15T over the trailing twelve months, based on WSTS monthly billings. The Americas and Asia Pacific are the largest regions by billings location, though most chips are ultimately consumed in products assembled in Asia.

Why is monthly data shown as a 3-month moving average?

WSTS publishes monthly billings as a three-month moving average to smooth out invoice timing between companies. This is the same convention used by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) in its widely-quoted monthly press releases, which are based on WSTS data.

Why don't company revenues sum to the market total?

Three reasons: this page covers 15 US-listed companies, not the full industry (TSMC, Samsung, SK Hynix, and European chipmakers file elsewhere); some company revenue is not semiconductor sales (software, services, systems); and equipment makers sell to fabs, upstream of the chip market WSTS measures.

How fresh is the company data?

Company fundamentals update after each 10-Q or 10-K filing with the SEC — typically within a month of quarter end. Revenue history extends back to roughly 2008 for most companies. All values are as-reported in USD, including subsequent restatements.

Is the semiconductor cycle a leading indicator for the economy?

Chip orders lead electronics production, which leads consumer and enterprise demand. Global semiconductor sales growth has historically turned several months ahead of world trade volumes and manufacturing PMIs, making it a useful early signal for the goods economy — though the AI investment boom has partially decoupled the cycle from consumer electronics since 2023.
