Europe enjoyed a sixth consecutive month of chip market growth in a global market driven upwards by strong sales in the America's region, according to data from the Semiconductor Industry Association.
The three-month average for global chip sales in November 2013 recorded its ninth consecutive month of increasing sales at $27.24 billion, an increase of 6.8 percent from November 2012, the SIA said, referencing data compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization.
