GaN Power Device Market by Device Type (Power, RF Power), Voltage Range, Application (Power Drives, Supply & Inverter, and RF), Vertical (Telecommunications, Consumer, Automotive, Military, Defense, Aerospace), and Geography - Global Forecast to 2023
The GaN power device market is expected to grow from USD 408.3 Million in 2017 to USD 1890.2 Million by 2023, at a CAGR of 29.1% between 2017 and 2023. The key factors contributing to the growth of the GaN power device includes the vast addressable market for GaN in the consumer electronics and automotive verticals, wide bandgap property of GaN material encouraging innovative applications, success of GaN in RF power electronics, and increasing adoption of GaN RF power device in the military, defense, and aerospace vertical.
Currently, the overall GaN power device market is dominated by RF power devices. Major industries that dominate the global GaN power device market are telecommunications; consumer and enterprise; automotive; and military, defense, and aerospace. GaN power devices are mainly used in UPS and motor control, wireless charging, high-efficiency power supply applications, servo motor drive, and hybrid and EV battery control and health management systems. GaN RF power devices are mainly used in radio and TV broadcast, amateur radio, civilian radar, jammers, satellite communications, electronic warfare, and missiles.
The growing EV charging and electric vehicle production markets and increasing renewable energy generation are the major factors driving the growth of the GaN power device market. Moreover, there is a huge demand for motor drives owing to the high efficiency and performance characteristics offered by GaN devices in the high-voltage ranges (above 400 V).
Market Dynamics
Drivers: Huge revenue generation from the consumer electronics and automotive verticals
The digital world has also had an indirect impact on the power device market, with every digital appliance—big or small—requiring a power device for power functions, especially low-power devices. However, advancements in the digital world had little impact on medium- and high-voltage power devices. Thus, the market growth rate of medium- and high-voltage power devices was lower than low-voltage power devices. This, however, applies only to the market growth rate and not to the market size. Electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles, automotive braking control systems, rail traction, etc., have triggered the need for improved power devices, with GaN currently being the preferred choice in all aspects—performance, efficiency, and quality—as most automotive applications are in the medium-voltage range (200–800V) territory of GaN. Automotive is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period, followed by consumer and enterprise.
Restraints: Competition from SiC devices in high-voltage power applications
Since their commercial launch in 2001, Silicon carbide power devices have been trying to penetrate the global power device market. This can be attributed to the efforts made for replacing pure silicon by SiC. Its acceptance grew due to the special features it exhibits when used as a semiconductor material in power applications. These include better power efficiency and advanced power handling capacity for several power functions, including power rectification, power factor correction, power amplification, and power transmission.
Opportunities: Potential use of GaN in 5G infrastructure
Telecommunications service providers are focusing on providing networks with higher capacity, lower latency, and ubiquitous connectivity. Although the current network is better than the previous one, it can be improved further in terms of latency, energy efficiency, data rates, and traffic capacity. 5G is expected to be launched commercially by 2020–2021, with advantages such as eco-friendly and efficient communication networks. Currently, GaN is commonly used in small cell, distributed antenna system (DAS), and remote radio head network densification. In the future, GaN is expected to be used as a replacement material for 5G network applications.
Challenges: High material and fabrication costs
A major issue facing the GaN power device market is the high expenditure on industry processes in the supply chain. The total average expenditure per GaN power device, of all the supply chain processes put together (including expenditure from both complete upstream and downstream), is much more than the average expenditure per pure silicon semiconductor device.

Recent Developments
- MACOM launched the 500 W GaN-on-Si power transistor between the range of 1.2 GHz to 1.4 GHz for pulsed L-Band radar systems targeted for airport surveillance radar (ASR) applications. The power transistor—MAGX-101214-500—delivers 500 W output power and greater than 70% power efficiency under pulsed conditions at 50 V operation.
- Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) launched the EPC9086, a half-bridge development board that could operate up to 10 MHz. The development board was evaluated in a 12 V to point-of-load DC-DC converter application achieving efficiency levels of 86% at 10 A when switching at 5 MHz and over 80% when switching at 10 MHz.
- CREE Wolfspeed launched a series of 28V GaN HEMT RF power devices. The CG2H400 series and CG2H800 series deliver 33% higher frequency operation to 8 GHz (from 6 GHz), an additional 1.5-2.0dB of gain, as well as a 5–10% boost in operating efficiency than its earlier generation devices.
