Discrete Semiconductors Market by Type (Diodes, Modules, Thyristors), Material (Gallium Arsenide, Gallium Nitride, Silicon), End-user - Global Forecast 2024-2030

The Discrete Semiconductors Market size was estimated at USD 52.02 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 54.55 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 5.08% to reach USD 73.62 billion by 2030.

Discrete semiconductors are individual semiconductor components designed to perform specific electrical functions. Unlike integrated circuits, which combine multiple functions on a single chip, discrete semiconductors fulfill singular roles, such as rectification, switching, or amplifying signals. Major factors expanding their use include the rising demand for consumer electronics, the growth of the automotive sector with the advent of electric and autonomous vehicles, and the increasing need for energy-efficient power solutions. Despite their advantages, integration limitations, as they require more space and potentially higher manufacturing costs compared to integrated solutions, may challenge the market growth. Moreover, heat dissipation and the complexity of circuit design also present hurdles. Nevertheless, the continuous evolution of technology presents an opportunistic view for market growth. Moreover, advancements in materials, the proliferation of smart devices, and ongoing innovations in renewable energy systems are expected to fuel further growth and application of discrete semiconductors.
