Silicon on Insulator Market size was over USD 1.32 billion in 2024 and is set to cross USD 7.76 billion by the end of 2037, growing at more than 14.6% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of silicon on insulator is estimated at USD 1.47 billion.. The market is accelerating due to a rise in demand for micro electric devices with low power, high performance, and small form factors. Around 740 million mobile subscriptions were available globally in the year 2000.
Furthermore, the SOI market is expanding owing to the growing demand for gaming consoles around the globe. Over 227 million people in the US play video games one to a few hours per week. Approximately 74% of US households consist of at least one member who plays video games. Thus, the increasing number of gamers is escalating the market growth.

Wafer Type (RF-SOI, FD-SOI, PD-SOI)
The FD-SOI segment in the silicon on insulator market is anticipated to hold a share of 39.5% by the end of 2037. Due to features like high flexibility, simple implementation, low cost, decreased complexity, lower leak currents, and the capacity to optimize power/performance trade-offs, the market is expanding. Also, to expand their product offerings and meet the rising demand for FD-SOI wafers, a number of FD-SOI wafer producers are concentrating on product launches and partnerships with other companies in the silicon-on-insulator market. For instance, Google and Skywater Technology, a US foundry, extended their open-source chip development work to a 90 nm FD-SOI technology in August 2022.
Application (Consumer Electronics, Automotive, Datacom & Telecom, Industrial, Photonics)
Silicon on insulator market from the consumer electronics segment is expected to hold a share of 31.2% during the forecast period. The size, power consumption, operational speed, and battery life of consumer devices like smartphones, tablets, wearables, laptops, cable modems, and televisions have all been decreased due to the adoption of SOI-based wafers. Additionally, these wafers have improved performance and are less temperature-sensitive. As a result, SOI is growing in demand in consumer electronics.

APAC Market Forecast
Asia Pacific silicon on insulator market is projected to hold a share of 41.7% during the forecast period. The silicon on insulator (SOI) market is expanding significantly in the Asia Pacific area, which is mostly due to rising investments and soaring consumer electronics demand. The Telecom segment of the SOI industry is anticipated to prosper in the region due to the growing demand for wireless communications. As per a report, with a total subscriber base of 2,755 million in 2021, Asia-Pacific saw an 11% increase in the number of mobile connection subscribers. These factors are driving the market growth in the region.
North American Market Statistics
North America SOI market is expected to hold a share of 36.3% during the foreseen period. The growth can be accredited to an increase in silicon on insulator demand primarily driven by the expansion of the consumer electronics and semiconductor industry. Customers' increasing concern for the environment and government regulations in the North American region has led to a rise in demand for SOI wafers in the automotive industry, where they are employed in electric vehicles.
