contents We consider multiplicative semigroups of real dxd matrices. A semigroup S is called Perron if each of its matrices has a Perron eigenvalue, i.e., an eigenvalue equal to the spectral radius. If all matrices of S leave a proper convex cone invariant, then S is Perron. Our main result asserts the converse: every irreducible Perron semigroup possesses a common invariant cone, provided that some mild assumptions are satisfied. This gives conditions for a set of matrices to share a common invariant cone, which is an important property widely studied in the literature. Then we address the problem to characterize the exceptions, when a Perron semigroup does not have an invariant cone. For d\le 4, all Perron semigroups are classified. For higher dimensions~$d$, several classes of such semigroups are found.
