GaN is a wide band gap semiconductor material. Its properties such as saturation velocity and high breakdown voltage make it an apt choice for high power applications in high-voltage switching devices such as radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers. The usage of GaN in semiconductor devices is cost-effective compared to silicon and gallium arsenide. GaN semiconductor devices are smaller, lighter, tougher, and more efficient than silicon semiconductor devices and are hence used to replace silicon in semiconductor devices. These devices find applications across several sectors such as Defense and Aerospace, Consumer Electronics, ICT, and Automotive.
The analysts forecast the Global GaN Semiconductor Devices Market to grow at a CAGR of 26.9 percent over the period 2013-2018.
This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global GaN Semiconductor Devices market for the period 2014-2018. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the sales of GaN semiconductor devices worldwide. The report does not take into consideration the following while calculating the market size:
- Support or maintenance services that are offered for/with GaN semiconductor devices
- Components that are used in the production of GaN semiconductor devices
- Aftermarket sales of GaN semiconductor devices
The report, the Global GaN Semiconductor Devices Market 2014-2018, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts.
