About HALF OF GLOBALMARKET share with salesof more than $209 BILLION
America’s #4 EXPORT after airplanes, refined oil and crude oil
BRAINS OF MODERN ELECTRONICS,strategic to America’s innovation infrastructure
U.S. industry impact
Invests about ONE-FIFTH OF REVENUE in R&D, among the highest of any industry, concentrated in the U.S.
Among the world’s MOST ADVANCED MANUFACTURERS, with about HALF ofU.S. companies’ manufacturing base in theU.S. across 19 STATES
In 2018, the United States exported $44 BILLION in semiconductors and maintains a consistent trade surplus in semiconductors

Policy Recommendations
• Reform the high-skilled immigration system by eliminating caps on STEM graduates
• Increase investment in STEM education to double the number of STEM graduates
www.semiconductors.org
Policy Recommendations
• Approve modernized free trade agreements that eliminate market barriers, protect IP, and enable fair competition
• Increase resources for law enforcement and intelligence agencies to prevent and prosecute semiconductor intellectual property theft
Less than 20% of U.S. semiconductor industry sales go to domestic customers, while overseas markets account for more than 80% of sales.
