This research study on the GaN semiconductors market gives a detailed 
overview of the global GaN semiconductors market in the present 
scenario, and discusses the history, evolution, market by technology 
(substrate & epitaxy materials and transistor technologies), market 
by products and devices, market by application segments, and by 
geography. Each classification done for the global GaN semiconductors 
market has an extensive segmentation with market estimates and forecasts
 till 2022 for each sub-market in terms of both - revenue and volume. 
The major GaN semiconductor products - namely the power semiconductors 
and optosemiconductors are analyzed in great detail throughout the 
research study in every type of classification.
GaN has turned out to be the choice for most of the power semiconductor 
applications and is quickly replacing the existing silicon technology. 
The various properties of GaN such as wider bandgap, high break-down 
voltage, larger critical electric field, and higher thermal conductivity
 let the GaN devices operate at higher voltages, high switching 
frequencies, handle higher power density, and offer enhanced power 
efficiency than the pure Si devices. These properties allow the GaN 
discretes like Schottky diodes, MOSFETs, and the other advanced 
transistors to operate at much higher voltage levels, which are 
difficult for the counterpart Si devices. GaN power semiconductors also 
help in reducing the conduction and switching losses, thereby offering 
higher efficiency in electronic systems. The major application segments 
of GaN power semiconductors currently are the inverters (& 
converters), RF devices, power supply modules, and motor drives being 
used across all the end user verticals.
In the aspect of opto-semiconductors, GaN has been increasingly used in 
LEDs, laser diodes, and optocouplers due to the primary characteristic 
of GaN showing much brighter emission characteristics than the other 
materials such as Si, SiC, GaAs, and GaP. AlGaN, mixed with GaN, is used
 in opto-semiconductors designed for high-brightness and ultra-high 
brightness applications that operate at wavelengths <400 nm. This 
market is expected to have healthy demand due to the markets growing for
 green, blue, violet, purple, ultra-violet, and white LEDs. The growing 
market for solid state lighting applications in several areas of the 
Consumer Electronics, Computers, Automotive, Industrial and Military, 
Aerospace & Defense sectors is expected to boost the GaN 
opto-semiconductors market revenue over the years to come.
This report, based on the extensive research on the GaN semiconductors 
market and industry, is aimed at identifying the entire market for the 
GaN semiconductor devices, and all its sub-segments through extensively 
detailed classifications, in terms of both - revenue and shipments. This
 report is focused on giving a bird's eye-view of the upcoming industry 
with regards to GaN semiconductor market with detailed market 
segmentations; combined with qualitative analysis at each and every 
aspect of the classifications done, i.e. by form factor, design 
architecture, substrate technology, technology (process) node, products,
 devices, applications, and geography.
