Gallium Nitride (GaN) has a wide band gap and owing to its advanced features such as high breakdown voltage, high switching frequencies, enhanced power efficiency, high conduction and thermal stability, GaN is largely being preferred for numerous applications. These characteristics have enabled GaN power semiconductors to penetrate into various high power applications such as inverters for home appliances, inverters for trains, broadband wireless networks systems, power converter circuits, turbines, industrial and heavy electrical systems, and electric and hybrid vehicles.

GaN technology is set to replace the silicon technology because of its superior characteristics and increasing applications as compared to silicon. The properties of GaN allow its discretes such as FETs, HEMTs, Schottky diodes and other advanced power devices to operate at higher voltages efficiently. GaN industrial devices market is expected to progress in the coming years, with the penetration in the medium voltage power electronics market. The majority of the revenue in GaN industrial devices market is coming from the ICT sector because of increasing replacements of Si based devices with GaN. In addition, various RF devices used for communication applications are all being transformed to GaN based technology from Si technology.

By types, the global GaN industrial devices market is bifurcated into two segments: opto electronics and power devices. By revenue, opto electronics was the largest contributor to the market in 2014. The major reason is attributed to due increasing demand for light emitting and laser diodes in automotive, transportation, consumer electronics and medical sectors

By application, the global GaN industrial devices market is subdivided into three sub-segments: light emitting diodes (LEDs), radio frequency (RF), and power devices. LED segment held the largest market share, both in terms of volume and value in 2014 The major reason is attributed to wide implementation of GaN based LED devices in liquid crystal displays, traffic signal lamps, and vehicle lamps among others. Moreover, with advancement of the GaN technology, high brightness blue LEDs are being developed by single phase growth of GaN and InGaN, conductivity control of p-type GaN along with epitaxial layer structures of LEDs and laser diodes. Recently, bulk GaN based substrate based LED devices, including non-polar and semi-polar LEDs, were developed. These are also known as second generation LEDs, as they offer different performance characteristics. Such devices are able to perform at high current densities with high efficiency.
