Semiconductors are the brains of modern electronics, enabling technologies critical to U.S. economic growth, national security, and global competitiveness.
Semiconductors have driven advances in communications, computing, health care, military systems, transportation, clean energy, and countless other applications. And they are giving rise to new technologies that hold the promise to transform society for the better, including brain-inspired computing, virtual reality, the Internet of Things, energy-efficient sensing, automated devices, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Semiconductors’ greatest potential lies ahead.
2025 State of the U.S. Semiconductor Industry
Last updated December 1, 2025 —- [Will use the updated one on live, staging site database not synced to live so only showing July 18, 2025 data on staging.] The U.S. semiconductor industry is one of the world’s most advanced manufacturing and R&D sectors. The U.S. Semiconductor Ecosystem Map demonstrates the breadth of the industry, including locations conducting research and development (R&D), intellectual property and chip design software providers, chip design, semiconductor fabrication, and manufacturing by suppliers of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and materials. Adjust the filters below, hover over a pin, and zoom in on the map to see more information. A glossary of key terms can also be found below. For a map of semiconductor ecosystem projects announced since introduction of the CHIPS Act, please visit this page.

Methodology: The locations on this map are sourced from SIA’s compilation of company information, 10-K filings, and other public and internal sources. The included university locations are R&D partners of the Semiconductor Research Corporation or the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI). The map excludes locations whose only activities are administrative or operational. This map is not intended to be a reflection of all U.S. semiconductor ecosystem locations and largely represents the U.S. locations of SIA member companies.

Semiconductors were invented in America, and the United States still leads the world in leading-edge manufacturing, design, and research. The U.S. semiconductor industry is the worldwide industry leader with half of global market share through sales of $318 billion in 2024.
Roughly 70% of U.S. semiconductor companies’ sales are to overseas customers. The United States exported $57.0 billion in semiconductors in 2024 and maintains a consistent trade surplus in semiconductors.
The rapid pace of innovation has enabled the semiconductor industry to produce exponentially more advanced products at lower cost, a principle known as Moore’s Law. As a result, a single smartphone today has far more computing power than the computers used by NASA to land a person on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.
