Technavio has announced the top six leading vendors in their recentglobal gallium nitride (GaN) devices marketreport until 2020. This research report also lists seven other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
The global GaN devices market was valued at USD 518 million in 2015 and is expected to reach USD 1,078 million by 2020, growing at a CAGR of close to 16% during the forecast period.
According to Sunil Kumar Singh, a lead semiconductor equipment research analyst at Technavio, "Increased use of GaN in EW in defense sector is one of the major factors driving the global market. The defense sector is the major segment in the global GaN devices market. GaN is used in radars and anti-improvised explosive devices due to its various properties like wide band gap and high breakdown voltage
Competitive vendor landscape
The global GaN devices market has a high potential for growth because of the increase in applications for GaN devices across several sectors. The market is characterized by the presence of significant entry barriers in the form of capital requirements, which prevent new players from entering the market.
The GaN-based semiconductor device manufacturers have realized the potential of GaN devices, resulting in an increase in M&A. In 2015, Cree acquired Arkansas Power Electronics International, a power modules and power applications manufacturer. The acquisition strengthens Cree's RF and power business, as Arkansas Power Electronics has intellectual property and application expertise. RFMD, an RF solutions provider, and TriQuint, an RF solutions and foundry services provider, both merged in 2015 to form Qorvo. Similarly, Infineon Technology acquired International Rectifier, a manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal ICs, in 2015.
