San Francisco, 6 September 2018; According to a report published by Grand View Research, Inc.; thegallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor devices market is likely to reach a valuation of around USD 4.37 billion by 2025. Increasing demand in a variety of semiconductor devices and technological improvements in the performance of GaN semiconductor devices can drive the market during the forecast period (from 2018 to 2025). Growing demand for energy-efficient power electronics, which use less power is projected to fuel market growth in the coming years. GaN-based semiconductors have dynamic mechanical and electrical properties such as saturation velocity and high-voltage breakdown. Thus, these semiconductors are extensively used in a varied range of switching devices.
The GaN-based semiconductors are also used in the defense industry due to their high thermal conductivity, high-temperature tolerance, and power density. Thus, rising expenditure on the defense sector in developed, as well as developing, countries is anticipated to boost the market growth in the coming years. Escalating demand for the Internet-of-Things (IoT) technology is also contributing toward the growth of the semiconductor devices as it offers several advantages including large electric filed, high breakdown voltage, and wider bandgap. These devices are also used in the healthcare industry in scanning equipment such as miniaturized x-ray machines MRI, and sonogram. This would further augment the market expansion in the years to come.
