The global chip industry is poised for a significant rebound this year with sales expected to jump to a record level, fueled by a greater need for the electrical components from a broad range of businesses, according to a forecast from the Semiconductor Industry Association.

Worldwide sales declined 8.2% to $526.8 billion in 2023, although the fall was mitigated by improving conditions in the second half of the year, the association said Monday in a statement. The increasing momentum indicates sales will gain 13% this year to almost $600 billion, the SIA said.
