Key Highlights
RF GaN plays a key role in wireless infrastructure, improving efficiency and expanding bandwidth to support ever-increasing data transmission speeds. The market for RF GaN is primarily driven by increasing 5G adoption and advances in wireless communications. Telecom operators could also benefit from increased use of GaN power transistors.
The increasing adoption of RF GaN in electric automotive is also one of the major factors driving demand in this market. Silicon carbide devices are used in the onboard battery chargers of electric buses, taxis, lorries, and passenger cars. Further, increasing government laws favoring the electric vehicles market stimulates demand in the RF GaN market.
The infrastructure needed to create autonomous vehicles and drones is another factor that increases demand for RF GaN technologies. Hence, growth in the adoption and development of autonomous vehicles and drones for various applications, especially military and defense, is expected to increase further the adoption of RF GaN devices over the forecast period.
The inherent material advantages of GaN come with some associated manufacturing challenges that include the cost and optimization of device processing and packaging. Other issues include charge trapping and current collapse, which need to be resolved for increased adoption of these devices. Although significant improvements have been made in RF GaN-based devices (performance and yields), there are still some barriers preventing the gallium nitride on silicon carbide (GaN-on-SiC) from entering mainstream applications (i.e., in wireless telecom base-stations or CATV).
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted supply lines and the telecoms industry. It considerably hindered the penetration of 5G in the telecommunications sector. In this critical situation, consumers are expected to continue using mobile phones, but most of them may not be able to invest more in a technology that is still in a nascent stage.
Rapidly increasing data consumption has resulted in the growth of commercial networks and is encouraging network providers to adopt next-generation networks, such as 4G and 5G. According to the Cisco Visual Networking Index, global mobile data traffic is expected to register a CAGR of 46%, reaching 77.5 exabytes per month by 2022.
