GaN Substrate Market Forecast: Expects Surge to US$ 13,721.9 Million by 2033

Gallium Nitride (GaN) substrate is a semiconductor material with distinct advantages when compared to conventional semiconductor materials like Silicon, Silicon Carbide, Aluminum, Sapphire, and others.

The GaN substrate market is anticipated to be valued at US$ 5,420.5 million in 2023. Additionally, it is expected to experience a steady growth rate of 9.7% over the next ten years, ultimately reaching a significant value of US$ 13,721.9 million by 2033. This growth can be attributed to the persistent focus on environmentally friendly transportation initiatives, particularly the promotion of green vehicles.

GaN is typically grown as a thin film on substrates such as Sapphire, Silicon, and Silicon Carbide. Currently, GaN on sapphire dominates the market share, but it’s anticipated that GaN on Silicon Carbide (SiC) will experience the most rapid growth in applications like LEDs and power electronics.

Global Market of GaN Substrate: Drivers and Restraint 

Wider band gap, high break-down voltage, larger critical electric field, and higher thermal conductivity are some of the key factors leading to a rapid shift of industry manufacturers from silicon technology to GaN substrate. These properties let the GaN Substrate material operate at much higher voltages, work at high switching frequencies, and increase its ability to handle higher power density, thereby offering enhanced power efficiency, which are the key requirements of power amplifiers and applications pertaining to optoelectronics, they are the captivating interest in the R&D fields of these industries.

GaN Substrate also exceeds the limit of their counterpart Si devices in applications like Schottky diodes, FETs, HEMTs, and other advanced transistors and lets them operate efficiently at much higher voltage levels. These are the key factors that result in gaining attraction for GaN Substrate in the market, with the LED applications being the key drivers holding a share of nearly 70% of revenue in the market for the bulk gallium nitride (GaN) market.

As these devices help reduce conduction and switching losses and offer higher efficiency in electronic systems, gradually they are entering a new segment of applications, namely power amplifiers. These applications of GaN Substrate are in an evolving stage but are anticipated to show substantial growth in the upcoming years.

GaN Substrate Market Segmentation on basis of regions:

The GaN substrate market is sub-segmented into 7 key regions- North America, Latin America, East Europe, West Europe, Asia-Pacific excluding Japan, Japan and the Middle East & Africa.
