Dublin, Jan. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Silicon on Insulator (SOI) Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering. The report provides comprehensive analysis of the SOI market, including global size, regional shares, and market trends.
The Silicon on Insulator (SOI) market is experiencing significant growth, with projections indicating an increase from $1.98 billion in 2025 to $2.26 billion in 2026, a CAGR of 14.2%. By 2030, the market is expected to reach $3.81 billion at a CAGR of 13.9%. This expansion is driven by a growing demand for SOI applications in sectors like automotive and telecommunications, alongside advancements in FD-SOI and low-power electronics.
Key developments in the industry include the rise of high-performance SOI technologies, AI-optimized platforms, smart automated fabrication processes, and intelligent connected devices. The adoption of SOI in high-speed computing applications is also gaining momentum. The proliferation of 5G networks, offering faster data speeds and improved device connectivity, is a crucial factor propelling the SOI market. SOI technology enhances the performance of RF components in 5G networks by mitigating signal loss and improving isolation.
As of 2023, 5G penetration in North America reached 40%, with significant growth expected, pushing the demand for SOI technology further. For example, United Microelectronics Corporation launched a 40nm SOI platform for RF chip development, supporting advanced 5G networks and applications.
Partnerships are also a key component in this sector. In December 2024, Soitec partnered with GlobalFoundries to supply 300 mm RF-SOI substrates for next-gen RF technologies, enhancing their standing in 5G, Wi-Fi, and mobile RF markets. Companies like GlobalWafers, Murata Manufacturing, and NXP Semiconductors are actively innovating within this fast-growing market.
However, the market faces challenges due to global trade tensions and tariffs, impacting the cost of silicon substrates and related manufacturing equipment. These tariffs are driving regional SOI manufacturing and strategic investments, fostering innovation in cost-efficient processes and reinforcing global supply chain resilience.
