Based on application, it segmented into satellites, launch vehicles, rovers, and others. The satellites segment was valued at USD xx million in 2021 and it is anticipated to grow further till USD xx million by 2031, at a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period.

The semiconductors are electronic devices that enhance the system’s performance and efficiency by providing various advantages over standard electronic components. Gallium Nitride (GaN) switching transistors are especially well suited for power conditioning in satellites because of their excellent radiation durability and ability to switch at high frequencies. GaN power transistors in a half-bridge design with an aluminum nitride power core from FBH reduce parasitic inductances and capacitances in the switching cell. Extremely compact hetero-integrated power switch, gate driver, and DC link capacitors effectively dissipate heat through the aluminum nitride substrate. By doing this, it would be possible to reduce the power cell's switching times by half as compared to a typical design that uses discrete devices. Power converters with very high-power density require high switching frequencies in addition to good converter efficiency. a clear benefit because weight is important in space.

Global Space Semiconductor Market by Component

The optical devices segment was valued at USD xx million in 2021 and it is anticipated to grow further till USD xx million by 2031, at a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period.

The two main categories of optical semiconductor devices are luminescent (including light-emitting and laser diodes) and light-receiving devices (solar cells and photo-detectors). Depending on the optical semiconductor materials employed, light has different wavelengths. Nanostructured optoelectronic components have potential uses in optical satellite telecommunication and sensor technology for use in space (infrared sensors, high-resolution charge-coupled devices, etc). In comparison to traditional microwave communications, much smaller and lighter devices with a larger bandwidth could be produced with optical wireless data links (OWL) for inter-satellite communication as well as optical inter-satellite connectivity. As part of the ESA's ARTEMIS program, optical inter-satellite communications were tested. Extremely frequency-stable solid-state lasers (Nd:YAG lasers) that are pumped by diode lasers are utilized for data transfer.
