Compound Semiconductor Market Dynamics
Driver: High use of compound semiconductors in LED applications
LEDs are replacing various light sources such as incandescent bulbs, fluorescent bulbs, and CFLs. It is observed that there is increased penetration of LEDs in multiple applications, including general lighting, automotive lighting, and signage displays. LEDs comprise compound semiconductor materials, which are made from group III and group V elements of the periodic table (these are known as III-V materials). III-V materials that are commonly used to make LEDs are gallium nitride (GaN), gallium arsenide (GaAs), and gallium phosphide (GaP).
Restraint: High material and fabrication costs associated with compound semiconductors
The major factor restraining the growth of the compound semiconductor market is the high expenditure involved in the complete industry processes in the supply chain. The total average expenditure per compound semiconductor device, of all the supply chain processes put together (including expenditure from both complete upstream and downstream), is much more than the average expenditure per pure silicon semiconductor device. The primary reason for this is that all processes are complex, new, employ advanced technologies, and require high-priced state-of-the-art equipment. Also, they lack familiarity and required expertise in manufacturing processes among the engineering community and executives of compound semiconductor industry players.
Opportunity: Increasing demand for compound semiconductors in military, defense, and aerospace
The increased usage of RF power in military, defense, and aerospace applications offers an opportunity for the growth of the compound semiconductor market in the future. The use of RF power devices in fields such as avionics and radar systems would help the growth of the market for military and aerospace applications. The use of InP and GaAs to develop newer and advanced products would further boost the growth of the military, defense, and aerospace applications in market. GaAs-based switches are used in military RF-based power devices in the MWIR band.
Challenge: Compound Semiconductors are complex to design
There is a high level of design complexity in the designing of compound semiconductor devices. The major challenge for designers is to achieve better efficiency while keeping the cost low and the structure less complex. Also, the varying requirements of different applications further increase the design complexities of the power and RF device. Apart from complex design, the packaging of these devices is a vital factor affecting the performance of the circuits and systems in which these circuits will be installed.
Power Electronics products are expected to witness the highest market growth during the forecast period
The compound semiconductor market for the power electronics products is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the increasing demand for SiC and GaN power semiconductors in applications such as hybrid and electric vehicles, power supplies, and photovoltaic (PV) inverters. The market is driven by increasing sales of hybrid and electric vehicles. Increasing demand for both battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) will increase significantly in the coming years as many global governments aim to reduce air pollution. It is expected to drive the market for power electronics products.
Power Supply application is expected to witness the largest market growth during the forecast period
In the power supply industry, compound semiconductor devices are acting as game-changers. Compound semiconductors have reached various verticals and industries owing to the advantages it provides to end-user industries. GaN and SiC devices allow users to operate in the double-conversion mode and maintain high efficiencies. Using these devices in UPS can facilitate in size reduction, increase in power quality, and reduction in cost. These provide distinct advantages compared with its silicon and hybrid counterparts. The traditional silicon insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) has no advantage against power loss, but the hybrid modules that are based on compound semiconductors can reduce power loss up to 45%, and full GaN-based devices in UPS can reduce power loss up to 100%. This is expected to drive the market for power supply application during the forecast period.
APAC is the leading compound semiconductor market, globally, by value, in 2019
The market in APAC is expected to register the highest CAGR during 2020–2025. APAC presents huge opportunities for the compound semiconductor device market owing to the growing demand for these devices in numerous verticals, including telecommunication, automotive and military, and aerospace and defense in Asian countries such as China, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, and India. Also, with the commercialization of 5G services in countries such as China, South Korea, and Japan, the demand for compound semiconductors is projected to rise during the forecast period.
The recent COVID-19 pandemic is expected to impact the global semiconductor industry. The entire supply chain is disrupted due to limited supply of parts. Chinese suppliers around the globe have placed production lines on halt or shut them down completely. Also, legal and trade restrictions, such as sealed borders, increase the shortage of required parts. Such disruptions in supply chain is expected to affect the assembly of OEMs in Europe and North America.
The compound semiconductor market is dominated by players such as Nichia (Japan), Samsung Electronics (South Korea), ams (Austria), Qorvo (US), and Skyworks (US).
