Semiconductor market expecting to reach a value of US$ 3 Bn by 2027

According to a new research report pertaining to the wide band gap semiconductor market, the global wide band gap market is expected to reach a value of US$ 3 Bn by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of ~22% from 2019 to 2027.

• The use of wide band gap (WBG)  makes power for its devices smaller, quicker, and more reliable and efficient than other materials available in the market.
• Wide commercial availability, decline in the prices of WBG  power devices, and increasing demand for gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) power devices for use in applications such as telecom equipment, computers, military devices, electric vehicles, and photovoltaic inverters, are anticipated to drive the global wide band gap  market in the near future.
• Increase in investments in wide band gap materials and their adoption in the power industry are anticipated to boost the global wide band gap semiconductor market during the forecast period.

Energy & Utility End-use Industry to Account for Leading Share

• The report offers detailed segmentation of the global wide band gap semiconductor market: in terms of material (silicon carbide [SiC], gallium nitride [GaN], diamond, and others), application (hybrid/electric vehicles, PV inverters, railway traction, wind turbines, power supplies, motor drives, UPS, and others), and end-use industry (automotive, aerospace & defense, IT & consumer, energy & utility, and others). The global market has also been segmented based on region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa).
• Among the materials, the silicon carbide (SiC) segment accounted for a leading share of the global wide band gap semiconductor market in 2018. The segment is anticipated to maintain its dominance of the global wide band gap semiconductor market during the forecast period.
• The hybrid/electrical vehicles application segment is expected to lead the global wide band gap semiconductor market and expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period.
• Energy & utility is a highly attractive end-use industry segment of the global wide band gap semiconductor market. It is the largest segment in terms of market size. The segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid rate during the forecast period.

Asia Pacific a Highly Lucrative Wide Band Gap Semiconductor Market
