Even though there was a shortage

Beancounters working for the e Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) have added up some numbers and reached the conclusion that, despite the chip shortage, global semiconductor industry sales reached $556 billion in 2021, up 26 per cent on the 2020.

The SIA said that 2021 saw the highest ever annual total for the industry. Even so, it failed to keep up with demand, leaving computer manufacturers and the auto industry, short of components.

Despite these shortages, the industry shipped a record 1.15 trillion semiconductor units in 2021. The SIA notes that it represents 99 per cent of the US semiconductor industry by revenue and about two-thirds of non-US chip firms.

Intel, the world's second largest semiconductor manufacturer, reported in January that its Q4 2021 revenue was $1.2 billion above the company's expectations. According to CEO [Kicking]Pat Gelsinger, Intel also saw its best-ever quarterly and full-year revenue.
