Market Analysis 

The global gallium nitride market is predicted to grow at a healthy CAGR between 2021- 2030, according to the new report by Market Research Future (MRFR). Gallium nitride or GaN, simply put, is a wide bandgap semiconductor material. It is widely used to manufacture semiconductor devices like high electron mobility transistor, light-emitting diodes, and others. The performance benefits of gallium nitride over its silicon counterparts like higher operating voltage, high power density, high frequency, and higher temperature, which has increased its demand manifold. It has extensive applications, including industrial and power, healthcare, defense and aerospace, consumer electronics, automotive, and others.

Various factors are adding to the gallium nitride market growth. According to the new MRFR report, such factors include increasing use in different end user industries like defense and aerospace, consumer electronics, automotive, and others, demand for lightweight automotive having improved efficiency, booming consumer electronics industry, and increased use in television, laptops, smartphones, and others. Gallium nitride LEDs are highly favored over conventional lights for the various benefits that it offers, such as power efficiency, consumption of energy, concerns for the environment, and luminosity. 

On the contrary, high cost and limited availability are factors that may restrict the gallium nitride market growth over the forecast period.
