Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global GaN devices market will grow steadily during the next four years and will post a CAGR of almost 16% by 2020. This market research analysis report identifies the increased use of GaN in electronic warfare by the defense sector as one of the primary growth factors for this market. The modernization of defense equipment has subsequently increased the demand for high-powered semiconductor devices. This will drive the demand for GaN-based RF power amplifiers as they are more-efficient and offer better bandwidth performance than the traditional silicon amplifiers. GaN, when used in radars, delivers higher performance in terms of power and radar range, which will reduce the number of radars required to monitor the same perimeter. This will substantially reduce operational costs. Due to its enhanced performance, GaN will soon find applications in anti-IED (improvised explosive devices) and phased-array radars, in turn, driving the growth of the market.
This market research report predicts that in terms of geographical regions, APAC will be the major revenue contributor to the market throughout the next four years. The shift in focus of several companies in the region toward RF technologies and the availability of efficient design and technology to fabricate semiconductor devices such as transistors and other equipment, will drive market growth in this region.
Due to the presence of a considerable number of vendors, this global market appears to be fragmented. Since all market players equally compete to gain majority of the market shares, the competitive environment is quite fierce. Vendors are currently focusing on increasing their R&D investments and develop new products that will help them expand their customer base. Though the market has significant entry barriers such as high capital requirements, which prevent the entry of new players, the market’s growth potential will attract new vendors who will focus on providing low-cost products to gain market shares.
The leading vendors in the market are -
The other prominent vendors in the market are Nichia, Bridgelux, Efficient Power Conversion, NXP Semiconductors, Panasonic Semiconductors, Toyoda Gosei, and Gallia Semiconductor.

According to this market research and analysis report, the opto semiconductor segment accounted for the maximum shares and dominated the market during 2015. The increasing adoption of GaN opto-semiconductors by various sectors such as military, aerospace and defense, and consumer electronics, will drive the growth of the market in the next few years.
This market study report predicts that the cellular infrastructure segment will be the major revenue contributor to the market throughout the forecast period. The growing adoption of 4G networks across the world will increase the demand for high-power transistors and base stations, which will consecutively result in increasing the adoption of GaN devices. Moreover, the high volume sales of smartphones and the adoption of long-term evolution (LTE) networks in emerging countries such as China has resulted in increasing mobile data usage. This will demand the installation of new base stations and will in turn, propel the market’s growth prospects.
