Global Gallium Nitride Semiconductor Devices Market size and growth rate, 2024 - 2030

Currently, power undergoes two conversions: from 48 V on the backplane to 12 V for distribution on processing boards and finally to around 1 V at the point of use. Leveraging the high switching speed, compact size, and improved efficiency of gallium nitride, power supply designers can now convert directly from 48 V to the required 1 V at the point of use, bypassing the intermediate step at 12 V. This single-stage architecture presents substantial potential energy savings, especially considering the rapid growth of computing power and data centers supporting cloud infrastructure.

The enhanced-mode version of GaN is widely used in the development of space applications, and it is further driving market growth. The demand for commercial GaN power devices is high among businesses as these devices offer high performance compared to traditional silicon technology-based Rad Hard devices. GaN power devices are used in applications such as drones, satellites, spacecraft, and robotics.
