Top Factor Driving Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Wafer Market Growth in 2025: Growth In 5G Adoption Fuels Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Wafer Market Expansion

How Big Is the Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Wafer Market Expected to Be, and What Will Its Growth Rate Be?
In recent times, there has been a swift expansion in the market size of gallium arsenide (GaAs) wafers. The market value is predicted to rise from $1.2 billion in 2024 to $1.35 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9%. The historical growth can be linked to the booming LED industry, heightened use of GaAs wafers in optoelectronic applications like displays and lighting, and the integration of GaAs wafers into automotive radar and driver assistance tools. Expanded market possibilities together with advancements in photovoltaics, which resulted in GaAs wafers being used in high-efficiency solar cells, also contributed to the growth. Furthermore, early adoption in the telecommunications and satellite communication sectors for high-frequency RF applications stimulated the demand for GaAs wafers.

Projected to experience impressive growth in the upcoming years, the gallium arsenide (GaAs) wafer market is predicted to reach a value of $2.17 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%. This forecasted growth can be attributed to the rising use of VCSELs in LiDAR systems and facial recognition, the expansion of satellite communication networks, and the increasing demand for GaAs wafers in industrial automation and medical devices. The forecast period is also expected to see certain major trends, such as the development of GaAs-on-insulator (GaAsOI) technology for improved device performance and energy efficiency, the emergence of hybrid integration technologies which combine GaAs with other materials for compact and multifunctional electronic systems, increased investment in R&D for the creation of next-generation GaAs materials and device architectures to explore new capabilities, and integration of GaAs wafers with silicon substrates to enhance performance and decrease costs in semiconductor manufacturing.

What Is Driving the Growth Trajectory of the Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Wafer Market?
The growth of the gallium arsenide (GaAs) wafer market is expected to be fuelled by the increasing adoption of 5G infrastructure. The hardware and technology needed for the fifth generation of mobile networks make up the 5G infrastructure, which offers enhanced data speeds, reduced latency, and the capacity to connect numerous devices simultaneously. The demand for high-speed internet, the expanding number of connected devices, and the need for reliable and efficient communication networks all contribute to this trend. GaAs wafers are crucial components in the 5G infrastructure, facilitating high-frequency signal processing required for the improved performance and rapid data speeds of 5G networks. For example, 5G Americas, a U.S.-based industry trade group, reported in September 2023 that North America had reached an impressive 40 percent penetration rate for 5G, with a growth rate of 25.5% in the first half of 2023. Predictions also suggest that North America's 5G connections will hit a staggering 669 million by 2028. As such, the increasing uptake of 5G infrastructure is steering the growth trajectory of the gallium arsenide (GaAs) wafer market.
