THE U.S. SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY

Building America’s Innovation Economy

SEMICONDUCTORS are the brains of modern electronics, enabling

advances in communications, computing, health care, military systems,

transportation, clean energy, and countless other applications.

The semiconductor industry is leading innovation in many new

technologies, including artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, virtual

reality, self-driving cars, and more. Our greatest potential lies ahead.

THE U.S. SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY is fundamental to America’s economic strength,

national security, and technology leadership.

The U.S. semiconductor industry is

the worldwide industry leader with about

HALF OF GLOBAL MARKET SHARE. U.S. semiconductor company sales totaled

$189 BILLION in 2017.

The semiconductor industry directly

employs nearly a QUARTER OF A MILLION PEOPLE in the U.S.

and supports more than

ONE MILLION ADDITIONAL JOBS throughout the U.S. economy.

SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING ACROSS AMERICA

About HALF of U.S. semiconductor companies’

advanced manufacturing base is in the United States,

and 19 U.S. STATES are home to major, advanced

semiconductor manufacturing facilities.

Semiconductors are AMERICA’S #4 EXPORT after airplanes, refined oil, and

automobiles, and MORE THAN 80%

of U.S. semiconductor companies’ sales

are to overseas customers. The United

States exported $44 BILLION in

semiconductors in 2017 and maintains

a CONSISTENT TRADE SURPLUS

in semiconductors.

THE RAPID PACE OF SEMICONDUCTOR INNOVATION

The U.S. semiconductor industry is AMERICA’S MOST INNOVATIVE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY. Semiconductor

technology has advanced at a remarkable pace over the last half-century,

enabling smaller, faster, more efficient and productive devices.

The U.S. semiconductor industry

annually invests about ONE-FIFTH OF REVENUE in R&D. This was the

SECOND-HIGHEST SHARE OF ANY U.S. INDUSTRY in 2017.

The rapid pace of innovation has enabled the

semiconductor industry to produce exponentially

MORE ADVANCED PRODUCTS AT LOWER COST, a principle known as MOORE’S LAW. As a result, a single smartphone today has

FAR MORE COMPUTING POWER than the

computers used by NASA to land a person on

the moon during the Apollo 11 mission.

THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION is

the voice of the U.S. semiconductor industry. SIA has a 40+ year history

of successfully uniting semiconductor companies around common

challenges and shaping public policy to help members grow their

businesses. We provide semiconductor manufacturers, designers, and

researchers with a seat at the table when policy decisions are made in

Washington and in capitals around the world.
