Kunkune has unveiled its comprehensive research study, “State of Global Electronic Components Industry 2025,” which gives an outlook on the electronic components market. The report captures how global semiconductor sales surged to $630.5 billion in 2024 and are projected to hit $700.9 billion in 2025 amid supply chain pressures, advancing technologies, and rising demand from automotive and IoT sectors.
The report provides a detailed map of the semiconductor industry’s rapid changes, clearly linking trends to their underlying causes. It examines market performance, capacity, trade flows, and innovation shaping the global electronic components market. Readers can access the full analysis in the State of Global Electronic Components Industry 2025, which translates raw data into forecasts that help industry leaders mitigate risks and pursue opportunities.
A Kunkune spokesperson remarked, “This report captures the seismic shifts redefining the electronic components landscape. AI-driven chip design and the surge in electric vehicle adoption signal an era of extraordinary acceleration. Yet, the industry’s true trajectory will depend on its ability to fuse innovation with supply chain resilience, ensuring that momentum translates into lasting growth.”
The report underscores the dynamic evolution of the semiconductor industry. That transformation is evident in the numbers: Global semiconductor sales rose 19.1% in 2024 to $630.5 billion and projections for 2025 point to another 11.2% climb, reaching $700.9 billion. The growth is led by logic and memory chips, while fab expansion is set to raise the output to 33.7 million wafers per month. More insights are available in the State of Global Electronic Components Industry 2025, which highlights how performance trends tie directly to innovation cycles and supply resilience.
Growth is strong, but the parts pipeline is tight. In April 2025, wait times to get components hit a new high — worse than during the pandemic — making it harder for manufacturers to source parts and keep shelves stocked.
Big demand is driving that crunch. Electric car sales reached 17 million in 2024 (over 1 in 5 cars sold worldwide). Connected devices, everything from smart speakers to factory sensors, climbed to 18.8 billion. Tiny sensors and switches (MEMS) also had a solid year, bringing in $15.4 billion.
Companies are answering with more research and smarter designs. U.S. chipmakers spent $62.7 billion on R&D in 2024, about 18 cents of every dollar earned. That money fuels advances in AI, “chiplet” Lego-style chip building, and early quantum tech.
Looking ahead, the industry faces risks from geopolitics and reliance on a few key suppliers, but opportunities are growing in 5G, electric vehicles, and faster chip production. Companies that strengthen supply chains while advancing technology are likely to lead.
Kunkune’s latest report reinforces its position as a trusted source for global semiconductor sales data and electronic components market insights. The State of Global Electronic Components Industry 2025 underscores both the challenges and opportunities shaping the industry’s future.
