How this number is made
- Source
- WSTS, Global Semiconductor Market grows 26% in 2025 to $796 billion (Q4 2025 release) (6 Mar 2026)
“Global semiconductor sales reached USD 795.6 billion in 2025, representing an increase of 26.2 percent year-over-year and marking one of the strongest annual expansions in the industry's history.”
- Step 01
Take WSTS’s figure for 2025: USD 795.6 billion.
- Step 02
Spread it evenly over a year of 31,557,600 seconds (365.25 days): about 25,211 US dollars per second.
- Step 03
Count from 00:00 UTC on 1 January of the current year, so the number resets every New Year.

- The result of those steps, recomputed four times a second in your browser. Nothing on this page is fetched live from the publisher.
- Why this can't be exact
- Real activity is not spread evenly: it clusters in working hours, weekdays and seasons, so the count runs ahead or behind the true figure at any given moment. It runs at the 2025 pace until a figure for the current year is published. Digits beyond the first two or three are the model ticking, not extra precision.
