- One of the most critical drivers is the growing adoption of SOI wafers in applications such as 5G, IoT, and AI-powered devices, where their superior electrical performance and reduced parasitic capacitance give them a strong advantage.
- The proliferation of autonomous and electric vehicles has further boosted the demand for SOI-based sensors and power management chips, as automakers seek high-performance, thermally efficient solutions.
- U.S. dominates the North America market, capturing 42.2% of regional revenue in 2025, driven by Rise in 5G infrastructure deployment driving demand for RF-SOI technology in smartphones and base stations.
- The Fully Depleted Silicon on Insulator segment is expected to lead the market with a share of 35.4% in 2025, by the Growth in electric and autonomous vehicles increasing SOI adoption in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and EV power electronics.
- These barriers can delay time-to-market and deter adoption, especially among small and medium North American chip designers targeting consumer electronics or cost-sensitive sectors.
