The global market of Gallium Nitride is expected to grow at a substantial rate with a CAGR of 9.6% and revenue is expected to rise to USD $220 million for the forecast period 2021-2027. Gallium nitride is widely used in semiconductor devices. The increasing use of gallium nitride technology devices as they have high-frequency, high-voltage, and high-temperature applications will propel the growth of the gallium nitride market globally.
There is an increase in adoption of white LEDs, high investment in R&D, increase in penetration of consumer electronic devices, rapidly expanding hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles, and increase adoption in military & defense will boost the growth of the GaN market.
Amidst the COVID-19 outbreak, various industries have been temporarily halted or are working with a minimum workforce due to lockdown and restrictions by the government. There is a decrease in the need of power semiconductors and power ICs and a decrease in demand for the electronics and automotive sector which has affected the growth of the GaN market but the market is slowly picking its pace and there is an increase in demand for electronics products and services.
