Silicon on Insulator Market Segmentation Analysis:
Based on wafer type, FD-SOI in the silicon-on-insulator market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The FD-SOI wafer segment of the silicon-on-insulator market is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The market growth is driven by advantages such as high flexibility, ease of implementation, low cost, reduced complexity, reduced leakage current, and ability to optimize the power-performance trade-off. Several FD-SOI wafer manufacturers are focusing on product launches and collaborations with other players in the silicon-on-insulator market to enhance their product portfolios and meet the increasing demand for FD-SOI wafers. For example, in August 2022, Google is expanding its open-source chip development efforts with US foundry Skywater Technology to 90nm FD-SOI technology.
Based on application, consumer electronics accounted for the largest portion of the silicon-on-insulator market.
SOI-based wafers are used in consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, wearables, laptops, cable modems, televisions, and set-top boxes to reduce size, reduce power consumption, increase operating speed, and extend battery life. These wafers also improve performance and make the device less dependent on temperature. Also, SOI-based microprocessors require less space than traditional embedded memories. As a result, the demand for SOI in consumer electronics is growing rapidly. In 2021, the consumer electronics segment accounted for the largest share of the silicon-on-insulator market.
Based on region, the silicon on insulator market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period.
The silicon on insulator market in Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The market growth is attributed to the increasing demand for consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and smart wearables. In addition, government investments and the expansion of several semiconductor foundry companies and wafer manufacturers are contributing to the market growth.
Silicon on Insulator Market Insights:
Silicon on insulator market by size and market share
