    The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), representing U.S. leadership in semiconductor manufacturing, design and research, announced the global semiconductor industry posted sales totaling $335.2 billion in 2015, a slight decrease of 0.2% compared to the 2014 total, which was the industry’s highest-ever sales total. Global sales for the month of December 2015 reached $27.6 billion, down 4.4% compared to the previous month and 5.2% lower than sales from December 2014. Fourth quarter sales of $82.9 billion were 5.2% lower than the total of $87.4 billion from the fourth quarter of 2014. All monthly sales numbers are compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization and represent a three-month moving average. Despite formidable headwinds, the global semiconductor industry posted solid sales in 2015, although falling just short of the record total from 2014. Factors that limited more robust sales in 2015 include softening demand, the strength of the d
