According to a new report from the analyst firm Gartner, semiconductors worth $793 billion were sold in 2025, up 21 percent compared to the previous year.

One explanation for the increase is the high level of interest in AI chips and graphics processors, which is linked to the construction of new data centers around the world.

The report also shows that Nvidia sells the most semiconductors, followed by Samsung, SK Hynix, and Intel.

Nvidia’s sales increased by 63.9 percent in 2025, which is the largest increase of all ten companies on the top list.
