Overview of the global GaN devices market

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.

Competitive landscape and key vendors

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 -

• Avago Technologies
• Cree
• GaN Systems
• Infineon Technologies
• OSRAM Opto Semiconductors
• Qorvo

The other prominent vendors in the market are Nichia, Bridgelux, Efficient Power Conversion, NXP Semiconductors, Panasonic Semiconductors, Toyoda Gosei, and Gallia Semiconductor.
