Electronicsweekly According to foreign media reports, the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics ( Association ) (WorldSemiconductorTradeStatistics, WSTS) released data show that in September 2013 the European semiconductor industry sales total ( 3 month moving average ) was $ 2.964 billion , increasing by 1.7% qoq month , an increase of 6.4% in May .Among them, the discrete devices over August 2013 sales rose 1.9 percent , sensors and actuators growth of 1.2%, MOS microprocessor growth of 3.3%, MOS chip growth of 1.7%, MOS memory growth of 5.4%.As of September 30 in the first half of 2013 the European semiconductor industry sales totaled $ 2.964 billion , an increase of 2.6%. Its growth by the greater impact on the euro and the U.S. dollar exchange rate ; denominated in euro , the European semiconductor industry sales amounted to 2.237 billion euros , growth of 1.2% , an increase of 0.6%. In contrast, the September sales affected by the exchange rate is not obvious .Partition , the Americas September sales increased 24.3% in the best performance, followed by the 9.9 per cent annual growth in Asia Pacific , the annual growth rate of 6.4% in Europe, ranking third in Japan due to the depreciation of Japanese yen reduction from 12.9%.At the same time , the World Semiconductor Industry Association (SemiconductorIndustryAssociation, SIA) official website has announced in September 2013 , the global semiconductor sales ( 3 month moving average ) was $ 26.97 billion , up by 3.3% , up by 8.7 percent , the highest in history the best single month since record . 2013 global semiconductor sales in the third quarter was $ 80.92 billion , compared with $ 74.64 billion in the second quarter increased by 8.4 % quarter also created new initiatives
