How Is Consumer Electronics Sector Helping Silicon on Insulator Market Grow?

Currently, the major players of the silicon on insulator market are taking strategic measures, such as product launches, facility expansions, partnerships, geographical expansions, client wins, and mergers and acquisitions, to gain a competitive edge in the market. For example, in January 2019, Soitec SA extended its collaboration with Samsung Foundry to increase the volume supply of FD-SOIs. 

With the new agreement, these companies extended their partnership and secured a high-volume supply of FD-SOI wafers to cater to the surging demand for SOI wafers in consumer, automotive, and internet of things (IoT) applications. The wafer type segment of the silicon on insulator market is categorized into radio-frequency SOI (RF-SOI), power-SOI, imager-SOI, photonics-SOI, fully depleted SOI (FD-SOI), and partially depleted SOI (PD-SOI). 


In 2018, the RF-SOI category generated the highest revenue, due to the escalating use of RF-SOI in advanced LTE smartphones and huge investments made in the development of the 5G network. Whereas, the FD-SOI category is expected to demonstrate the fastest growth throughout the forecast period, due to the surging demand for these wafers in APAC and North America for ultra-low power applications such as smart appliances and wearable devices.


Geographically, APAC accounted for the largest share in the silicon on insulator market, in 2018, due to the large-scale adoption and expansion of 5G network services in China, Japan, and South Korea. In addition, the region is also expected to witness the fastest growth throughout the forecast period. This can be ascribed to the soaring investments being made by wafer manufacturers to expand their production facilities in the region. 

For instance, in March 2018, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co. Ltd. announced its decision invest $996 million (¥110 billion) for expanding its silicon production plant. Thus, the surging adoption of consumer electronics and huge investments being made in the development of the SOI ecosystem will support the market growth in the foreseeable future.

BFSI Using Advanced Security Solutions to Protect Data and Financial Assets

Banks and financial institutions are gradually shifting their core applications over to the cloud network, to offer a personalized banking experience, mitigate the risks associated with conventional technologies, improve the operational control of platforms, reduce capital expenditure, and meet the growing need for real-time analysis of high-volume data. However, the deployment of the cloud infrastructure escalates the risk of cyberattacks, as the data is stored at remote locations.  Get the Sample Copy of this Report @ https://www.psmarketresearch.com/market-analysis/bfsi-security-market/report-sample To combat the cyber threat, such institutions are increasingly adopting a range of advanced security solutions. The financial service sector has become a prime target for cybercriminals, as it centers around financial assets and generates massive unstructured data. Moreover, progressive steps such as the adoption of online banking and shift toward digital processes have increased the pro

RF Semiconductor Market a $5.0-Billion Investment Opportunity by 2030

The major factors leading to the rising demand for radiofrequency (RF) semiconductors are the increasing popularity of smartphones, enhancements in the wireless communication technologies, and escalating adoption of the internet of things (IoT). As a result, from $2.1 billion in 2019, the market of RF semiconductor will witness an 8.8% CAGR during 2020–2030 (forecast period), to reach $5.0 billion by 2030. Made of semiconductor materials, such components enable RF communication in an array of sectors. Get the Sample Copy of this Report @ https://www.psmarketresearch.com/market-analysis/rf-semiconductor-market-report/report-sample The material segment of the market is classified into indium phosphate, gallium arsenide, gallium nitride, silicon, and silicon germanium. Among these, during the historical period (2014–2019), the largest share was held by the gallium arsenide category because RF semiconductors made from this material consume less power, account for low power dissipation, ca
