The World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) spring forecast sharply raised 2026 and 2027 growth estimates. Global semiconductor revenue is expected to jump 90% in 2026 to $1.51 trillion** , driven by **memory up 250% to over $800 billion . Logic chips follow with 37% YoY growth .

Other categories: microprocessors +20%, analog +10%, discretes +8%, sensors/optoelectronics +3%.

By region: Americas +112% (doubling) , Asia‑Pacific +87% , Europe +58%, Japan +28%.

For 2027, WSTS projects another 27% growth to nearly $1.9 trillion , with memory up 32% and logic up 27%. AI device deployment, high‑end compute infrastructure, and rising chip content per device will sustain the cycle.

ICgoodFind: WSTS sees two explosive years for semiconductors – memory leads the charge, but logic and even analog ride the AI wave.
