3. Silicon on Insulator Companies - Soitec (France) and Shin-Etsu Chemical (Japan) are the Key Players

The global SOI market size is estimated to be USD 1.4 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach 2.9 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 15.0% during the forecast period. The rising demand for SOI wafers is attributed to the increased focus on e-learning to increase demand for smartphones, tablets, and laptops

Silicon on Insulator companies include:

• Soitec (France),
• Shin-Etsu Chemical (Japan),
• GlobalWafers (Taiwan),
• SUMCO Corporation (Japan),
• Shanghai Simgui Technology (China),
• GlobalFoundries (US),
• STMicroelectronics (Switzerland),
• Tower Semiconductor (Israel),
• NXP Semiconductors (Netherlands),
• Murata Manufacturing (Japan).

To retain their presence in the SOI market, these players have adopted various growth strategies, such as product launches, expansions, partnerships, agreements, and contracts. Product launches has been the most dominating strategy adopted by the key players from 2018 to 2022 to help them strengthen their product portfolio and broaden their customer base.
