The European Semiconductor Industry Association (ESIA) is the organisation representing the European semiconductor industry toward the European institutions. Semiconductor products are the key enabler for improved energy consumption and performance across a wide range, of everyday technology applications in society. They contribute to tackling global challenges through innovative solutions in industry, mobility, healthcare, as well as consumer electronics for positive societal change.
European semiconductor sales have reached over €51.2 billion in 2022.
The market for automotive chips represents the biggest end-use segment in the European market: no less than 37%, followed by industrial applications with 28%.
In 2022, Europe and China were the biggest markets for automotive semiconductors, accounting for 25.4% and 26.2% of the global automotive market respectively.
The European semiconductor industry achieved a 42% reduction in absolute greenhouse gas emissions since 2010. Over the same period, the overall emissions normalised per unit of production index could be reduced by 54%.
