Among these, the material type segment comprises GaN-on-silicon, GaN-on-diamond, and GaN-on-SiC. The device segment comprises front-end modules, HEMT, switches, MMIC, SART, and others. Further, the application segment comprises military & defense, aerospace, IT & telecom, and others. By region, the analysis is segmented into the Asia Pacific, Americas, Europe, and the rest-of-the-world.
RF GaN Market Regional Analysis North America is the largest market for RF GaN technologies, headed by notable RF GaN companies. Also, the huge demand from the defense and military sectors and updated RF GaN trends due to the region-wide adoption of electric vehicles and 5G cellular networks escalate the market value. The North American RF GaN market is estimated to retain its dominance throughout the assessment period.
The APAC is another lucrative market for RF GaN. The launch of 5G networks in many parts of the region and the adoption of RF GaN devices in electric vehicles drive the market growth. The region is a hub for automotive and aerospace technologies and semiconductors. China, India, and Japan account for sizable shares in the region due to rapidly growing markets for energy-efficient electronics.
Besides, technological advances in RF components and rapid economic growth in this region boost the market size. The rising demand for RF GaN devices from military equipment, offshore oil & gas exploration sectors, and emergency medical service providers accelerates the region’s market share.
The strong presence of well-developed players and foreign direct investments in aerospace sectors push the market growth in the region. Moreover, the raw material advantages and the availability of a cost-competitive labor force in the region impact the regional market growth positively. The APAC RF GaN market is expected to expand at a whopping 22.82% CAGR during the forecast period.
Competitive Landscape Highly competitive, the RF GaN market appears fragmented due to the presence of several well-established players. Industry players make vast investments in research and development activities and foster their expansion plans. These market players adopt approaches such as greater commercialization of their products, promotion initiatives through competitions & trade exhibitions, and increased collaboration.
This market witnesses implementation of several strategic deals, such as collaboration, mergers & acquisitions, product launches, and expansion. For instance, on Dec.01, 2021, Microchip Technology Inc. announced the expansion of its Gallium Nitride (GaN) RF power portfolio, adding New Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) and discrete devices.
Dominant Key Players on RF GaN Market Covered are:
Microchip’s MMICs and GaN devices are required in 5G, satellite communication and defense applications. Like other RF GaN power products developed by Microchip, these new devices are fabricated leveraging GaN-on-silicon carbide technology, providing the best combination of high power density & yield and high-voltage operation & longevity at a 255 C junction temperature.
The company recently acquired a Northern Ireland-based maker of GaN and gallium arsenide MMICs catering to aerospace & defense applications, including satellite communications, electronic warfare, commercial & defense radar systems, and test equipment.
