Global Lithium Niobate-On-Insulator (LNOI) Wafers Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Lithium Niobate-On-Insulator (LNOI) Wafers market size is predicted to grow from US$ 167 million in 2025 to US$ 1372 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 42.1% from 2025 to 2031.
The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.
Lithium Niobate-On-Insulator (LNOI) Wafers are advanced optoelectronic materials that are widely used in optical communications, optical sensors, optical modulators, and other fields. This film is usually a few microns thick or even thinner. Thin-film lithium niobate wafers are made using advanced epitaxial growth technology and have excellent optical and electrical properties.
Lithium Niobate-On-Insulator (LNOI) Wafers represents a breakthrough substrate for advanced photonic integration. It consists of a nanometer-scale lithium niobate (LiNbO₃) layer bonded onto an insulating carrier, such as SiO₂ or glass. This thin-film structure offers strong optical confinement, high electro-optic coefficient (r33), and ultra-low propagation loss, making it ideal for high-speed optical modulators and next-generation integrated photonic circuits.
TNOI wafers are mainly produced in 4-inch and 6-inch formats. The industry is rapidly transitioning to 6-inch due to better compatibility with existing CMOS and silicon photonics foundries. Jinan Jingzheng Electronics stands out as one of China’s most commercially advanced TFLN wafer manufacturers. With a focus on 4-inch =and 6-inch bonded wafers and reliable output, it supports domestic and international customers in modulators and photonics research. Its route favors mechanical exfoliation combined with direct bonding, balancing yield and cost.
Optical communication modulators, especially for 400G/800G+ coherent links in AI and data center interconnects, are the primary commercial application of TFLN wafers. Compared to conventional bulk LiNbO₃ devices, TFLN-based modulators offer ultra-compact footprint, high bandwidth (>60GHz), low drive voltage, and superior scalability. TFLN is also gaining attention in optical resonators, acousto-optic modulators, frequency combs, and quantum photonic chips.
Looking forward, key trends in the TFLN wafer market include:
A transition toward 6-inch and even 8-inch wafers for improved yield and scalability;
Formation of a foundry ecosystem, particularly in China, integrating wafer suppliers, photonic fabs, and device/system companies;
Increasing demand driven by AI, quantum, and high-speed optical interconnect markets;
