Worldwide semiconductor sales reached a record $55.3 billion in September 2024, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association. This figure represents a 4.1% increase month-over-month and marks the highest monthly total ever recorded. In the third quarter of 2024, total sales surged to $166 billion, reflecting the largest quarterly increase since 2016. Regional sales data showed significant growth, with the Americas reporting a 46.3% year-over-year increase, China at 22.9%, and the Asia Pacific region at 18.4%. Despite this growth, some analysts have raised concerns about the semiconductor industry's valuation, noting that it is currently the most overvalued sector, with price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios exceeding two standard deviations above historical averages.
