The European semiconductor market continued its recovery in the third quarter of 2025, with sales reaching $14.1 billion. This represents a 7.2% increase from the previous quarter and a 6% rise compared to the same period last year, according to data from the European Semiconductor Industry Association (ESIA).
The growth was primarily driven by two key product categories. Memory chips were the standout performer, with sales surging 17.3% quarter-over-quarter. Analog semiconductors also showed strong growth, increasing by 7.1%. These components are vital for automotive electronics and industrial systems, which are traditional strengths of the European technology sector.

This positive trend in Europe mirrors the global market, where worldwide semiconductor sales saw a significant 25.1% year-over-year increase in Q3 2025.
