Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The increasing adoption of smartphones is notably driving the gallium arsenide (gaas) wafers market growth, although factors such as high production cost of gaas wafers may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the gallium arsenide (gaas) wafers industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Wafers Market Driver
The increasing adoption of smartphones is a major factor driving the global gallium arsenide (GaAs) wafers market share growth. The global demand for smartphones is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period, primarily owing to the growing penetration of 5G network services. Several 5G smartphones were launched in 2019, with a growing inclination of consumers toward smartphone up-gradation. The operators are expected to invest over $1 trillion in producing mobiles supporting 5G services, which, in turn, is expected to drive the demand for GaAs wafers during the forecast period. The growing data demand from consumers is insatiable as consumption is increasing drastically in many countries. Operators are developing sophisticated networks (wired and wireless), architecture, and devices to accommodate this increase in data consumption (both broadband and mobile data) and ensure the quality of service. As GaAs are suitable for such architecture and networks, the demand for GaAs wafers for the expansion of network infrastructure will increase. As a result, this will drive the market in a positive direction.
Key Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Wafers Market Trend
The increasing GaAs content in smartphones is another factor supporting the global gallium arsenide (GaAs) wafers market share growth. Smartphones nowadays require more GaAs content as they need many frequency bands to accommodate 4G and 5G networks. Usually, each 4G LTE smartphone requires 3-4 PAs. The rapid launches of new and advanced versions of smartphones by vendors are driving the inclination of consumers to replace older versions of smartphones with newer ones to access the latest technologies and functionalities. This replacement cycle is currently 8-12 months. This replacement cycle will further decrease by 2024. The demand for GaAs wafers was lower when smartphones had longer replacement cycles. The current product replacement cycle is expected to increase the demand for GaAs wafers during the forecast period. The rising demand for advanced functionalities in smartphones from consumers is increasing the design complexity of devices. GaAs content in mobile devices such as switches is gradually being replaced by SoI technology. However, this is not expected to have a significant impact on the GaAs devices market as GaAs power amplifiers are widely adopted in mobile handsets. Therefore, the market will grow significantly during the forecast period.
Key Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Wafers Market Challenge
The high production cost of GaAs wafers will be a major challenge for the global gallium arsenide (GaAs) wafers market share growth during the forecast period. Computer chips, solar cells, and most electronic devices have usually been based on silicon. The exclusive electronic properties of silicon can be manipulated to turn the electricity on and off the way faucets control the flow of water. GaAs is one such semiconductor material that has certain technical advantages over silicon. For example, electrons flow through its crystalline structure faster than they can move through silicon. However, the key reason for silicon still being preferred for most electronic devices is because GaAs devices are much more expensive than silicon. GaAs-based devices are only used in niche applications where their special capabilities justify their higher cost. Solar cells, which are used in specific high-end applications such as satellites, use GaAs wafers; however, their cost is significantly high as they are designed for greater photon-to-electricity conversion efficiency. Therefore, the high cost of production restricts the application of GaAs wafers in general electronic products, which, in turn, restricts the growth of the market in focus.
