Gallium Nitride Semiconductor Devices Market Growth & Trends

The global gallium nitride semiconductor devices market size is expected to reach USD 12.47 billion by 2030, according to a new study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 24.4% from 2022 to 2030. The growing demand for fast chargers used in various consumer electronics applications worldwide is expected to drive the market. Various smartphone companies such as Apple and Samsung are making efforts to develop fast chargers to enhance their customer experience and gain a competitive edge.

The companies providing GaN Radio Frequency (RF) are continuously improving their product offerings, thereby driving the market. For instance, in December 2021, Microchip Technology Inc., a microcontroller manufacturer, announced the expansion of its GaN RF power device portfolio with new discrete transistors and MMICs. The devices combine high linearity and high power-added efficiency to deliver enhanced performance in satellite communications, electronic warfare, test equipment, and commercial and defense radar systems.

The enhanced-mode version of GaN is widely used in the development of space applications and this is further driving the market. The demand for commercial GaN power devices is high among businesses as these devices offer high performance compared to traditional silicon technology-based Rad Hard devices. GaN power devices are used in applications such as drones, satellites, spacecraft, and robotics.

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the GaN semiconductor devices market in 2021. This can be attributed to the semiconductor shortage witnessed by various automotive companies. Automakers such as Ford and General Motors reduced the production of some of their models in 2021 due to the shortage of semiconductor chips.
