Cryogenic Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) Circuits Global Market Report 2025

The cryogenic complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (cmos) circuits market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.75 billion in 2024 to $3.04 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise in low-temperature electronics research, increasing demand in aerospace applications, adoption in high-performance computing systems, growing interest in superconducting technologies, and investments from government research agencies.

The cryogenic complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (cmos) circuits market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.68 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to surge in quantum computing initiatives, increasing cryogenic data center deployments, demand for energy-efficient electronics, rising research and development in advanced semiconductor devices, collaboration between universities and tech companies. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in cryo-cmos design, innovations in ultra-low power circuits, developments in cryogenic packaging techniques, integration with quantum computing systems, and research and development in nanoelectronics.

The forecast of 11.4% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.7% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through bottlenecks in ultra-low-temperature semiconductor components, heavily dependent on Dutch and Belgian suppliers, delaying quantum computing and medical imaging advancements. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The growth of satellite communications is expected to significantly propel the cryogenic complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuits market. Satellite communications use artificial satellites to transmit and receive signals for data, voice, and video communication over long distances, enabling wireless connectivity between ground-based transmitters and receivers through satellites in orbit. The demand for satellite communications is primarily driven by the need for reliable, high-speed connectivity in remote and underserved areas where terrestrial infrastructure is limited or unavailable. Cryogenic CMOS circuits enhance satellite communications by improving signal sensitivity, reducing thermal noise, and enabling efficient data transmission, which supports the growing demand for advanced space-based communication systems. For example, in September 2024, a report published by Advanced Television, a UK-based media company, revealed that Starlink (a satellite-based internet service) grew its subscriber base from 1 million users in December 2022 to over 4.6 million by the end of 2024. The service doubled its user base to 2 million by September 2023, reached 3 million by May 2024, and surpassed 4 million by September 2024. Therefore, the expansion of satellite communications is driving the growth of the cryogenic CMOS circuits market.

Companies operating in the cryogenic CMOS circuits market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as CMOS transistors, to enhance performance at ultra-low temperatures, reduce power consumption, and support advanced applications such as quantum computing and satellite communications. CMOS transistors are key components in modern electronic circuits, particularly in CMOS technology. For instance, in November 2024, SemiQon Technologies Oy, a Finland-based quantum hardware company, launched the first CMOS transistor optimized for cryogenic temperatures (1 Kelvin or below), marking a significant advancement in scalable quantum computing. This transistor features 1,000 times lower heat dissipation and 0.1% of the power consumption compared to standard transistors while being compatible with existing CMOS manufacturing processes. Initially targeting custom quantum chips, SemiQon plans to expand into standard products for broader markets such as high-performance computing (HPC) and space systems. This breakthrough addresses a key challenge in quantum computing by enabling efficient, low-power cryo-CMOS control electronics.

In December 2023, Agile Analog Ltd, a UK-based software company, partnered with SureCore Ltd., a UK-based company specializing in CryoCMOS solutions for quantum computing and advanced electronics. This collaboration aims to develop cryogenic circuits that enable efficient operation at ultra-low temperatures, specifically tailored for quantum computing applications. Through this partnership, Agile Analog seeks to enhance the development of advanced electronic solutions for quantum systems and other low-temperature applications.

Cryogenic complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuits are specialized semiconductor devices designed to function at extremely low temperatures, typically below 77K (-196°C), and often close to absolute zero. These circuits are crucial for applications in deep-space exploration, low-noise signal processing, and superconducting electronics. Cryogenic CMOS circuits offer enhanced energy efficiency, reduced thermal noise, and superior performance in environments that require ultra-low temperatures, such as in cryogenic computing and astrophysics research.

The primary types of cryogenic complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuits include digital circuits, analog circuits, and mixed-signal circuits. Digital circuits use discrete binary signals (0s and 1s) to execute high-speed, reliable data processing. Cryogenic CMOS technology improves efficiency by reducing power loss and maintaining signal integrity at low temperatures. These circuits find applications in fields such as quantum computing, high-performance computing, specialized sensors, and neuromorphic computing. The main users of cryogenic CMOS circuits include research institutions, technology firms, and government organizations.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp escalation of U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the electrical and electronics sector. Key components such as semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals crucial for batteries and motors are now facing heavy duties. Consumer electronics companies are seeing profit margins shrink, as fierce competition makes it difficult to pass on rising costs to consumers. At the same time, industrial electronics firms are experiencing project delays due to shortages of tariff-impacted parts like printed circuit boards. In response, businesses are shifting assembly operations to tariff-exempt nations, building up inventory reserves, and redesigning products to reduce reliance on restricted materials.
