Hot News
The global semiconductor industry is undergoing an unprecedented structural transformation. According to the latest forecast released on June 2 by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), the global semiconductor market is expected to reach US$1.511 trillion in 2026, nearly 90% higher than in 2025 and surpassing the US$1 trillion mark for the first time. This growth rate will far exceed the previous record of 42% set in 1995. Even more striking, WSTS had projected a market size of US$975.4 billion for 2026 in December 2025; just six months later, that estimate has been sharply revised upward by 55%.
