Widespread Use of GaN-based Devices in Electronics Fuel Market Growth

Introduction of advanced technology and increasing production volumes account for driving the global GaN industrial devices market from suppliers perspective. The growing demand for high power and high temperature applications has led to the rising utilization of GaN industrial devices. These devices are extensively used in radio frequency amplifiers, LEDs, and high voltage applications among others, as they can function at high temperature, high frequency, and high power density with improved efficiency and linearity.

The increasing number of applications of GaN-based devices is augmenting this market’s growth from a demand perspective. This is because gallium nitride presents better performance characteristics in comparison to other semiconductor devices such as gallium arsenide (GaAs) and Silicon (Si). Due to these features, GaN power semiconductors are suitable for high power applications such as power converter circuits and home appliances.
