The silicon on insulator SOI market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 21.7% between 2018 and 2023
The overall SOI market is expected to reach USD 1,832.5 million by 2023 from USD 686.0 million by 2018, at a CAGR of 21.7% during 20182023. The increasing use of SOI wafers in consumer electronic devices and effective use of silicon during the manufacture of thin SOI wafers are the key factors contributing to the growth of the SOI market. However, lack of intellectual property IP ecosystem is a key restraint for the growth of the SOI market. Growing IC industry and expansion of SOI ecosystem in APAC and increasing use of SOI in IOT are the major opportunities for the studied market.
The market for FDSOI is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Among the wafer types of SOI, the market for FDSOI is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is mainly attributed to the developments such as the introduction of FDSOI based 12FDX by GlobalFoundries US and features offered by FDSOI wafers such as ultralow voltage operation and highperformance mixedsignal integration.
The SOI market in APAC is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period
APAC is expected to be the fastestgrowing market for SOI during the forecast period owing to the expansion of SOI ecosystem in the region. Moreover, the adoption of SOI waferbased products in consumer electronic, datacom and telecom, and automotive applications is expected to boost the growth of the SOI market in APAC.
