GaN Epitaxial Wafers Market

The global GaN epitaxial wafers market was valued at USD 267.8 million in 2022 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2023 to 2031, reaching an estimated USD 525.2 million by the end of 2031, according to the latest industry analysis. This robust growth is fueled by rising demand for energy-efficient power electronics, the widespread adoption of GaN-based radio frequency (RF) devices, and the continued development of wide-bandgap semiconductors.

Market Overview

Gallium nitride (GaN) epitaxial wafers are ultra-thin semiconductor layers grown on substrates such as silicon carbide (SiC) or sapphire. These wafers are essential in fabricating high-performance power and RF devices, thanks to their superior electrical and thermal characteristics. With industries aggressively shifting toward smaller, faster, and more efficient electronics, GaN technology is increasingly displacing traditional silicon solutions.
