Global Silicon on Insulator Market is anticipated to grow from USD 1.9 billion in 2023 to USD 3.6 billion in 2030 at a CAGR of 16.3% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2030.
The Global Silicon on Insulator Market is anticipated to grow from USD 1.9 billion in 2023 to USD 3.6 billion in 2030 at a CAGR of 16.3% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2030.
The silicon on insulator is the procedure in which thin layer of silicon is placed on the top of insulator that forms silicon semiconductor devices. The silicon on Insulator wafers increase the performance of silicon semiconductor devices in response to the low operating voltage. This silicon wafer is used to manufacture advanced electronic devices which is expansively applicable in the integrated circuit technology used in automotive, consumer electronics and other industries. Growth of the market is due to significant technological advancements in the market such as the large-scale integration of radio frequency silicon on insulator wafers into smartphones to receive an uninterrupted connection from various locations. The demand for the silicon on insulator increase in automotive application shall create immense opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period. The major factors that are the main restraints for the growth of the market are limited availability of remaining intellectual property ecosystems and floating body and self-heating effects in silicon on insulator devices. Lack of skilled workforce in SOI wafer manufacturing sector and effective maintenance of thickness uniformity and other parameters shall also limit the market growth.
