global GaN power device was valued at $16 million in 2015 and is projected to reach $273 million by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 49.8% from 2016 to 2022. Gallium nitride (GaN) transistors have evolved as an enhanced performance substitute of silicon-based transistors, owing to their ability of fabricating more compact devices for a given resistance value and breakdown voltage as compared to silicon devices.

GaN power devices can attain extremely low resistance and high-frequency switching. These properties are exploited in high-efficiency power supplies, electric vehicle (EV), hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), photovoltaic inverters, and RF switching. These devices are applicable in power supplies for server, IT equipment, high-efficiency & stable power supplies, and EV & HEV devices.

The growth of the GaN power device market is driven by increase in demand for GaN in radio frequency equipment; rise in adoption in the telecommunication industry; and surge in demand for AC fast charger, LiDAR, and wireless power. Moreover, these devices are more advantageous as compared to silicon devices, thus fueling the growth of the market. However, preference of silicon carbide (SiC) in high-voltage semiconductor applications restraint the market growth. Requirement of GaN power devices in electric and hybrid vehicle provides new opportunities for the players operating in the market.
