Wide-Bandgap (WBG) Power Semiconductor Devices Market Leading Player, Application & Forecast To 2026

Surging requirement to achieve high efficiency in high power density devices is projected to boost the demand. 

Market Size – USD 437 million in 2018, Market Growth - CAGR of 22.8%, Market Trends – Rising deployment of signal processing applications comprising naval mine detection, underwater communications, and offshore oil & gas exploration among others. 

The global wide-bandgap power semiconductor devices market is expected to reach USD 3250 million by 2026, according to a new report by Reports and Data. Wide bandgap semiconductors are those which have a wide bandgap between the valence band and the conduction band. With wide bandgap semiconductor devices play a significant role in achieving high efficiency in high power density devices. These semiconductors have approximately ten fold better conduction capability and switching property than silicon-based semiconductors. Wide bandgap materials are inherently suitable for power electronic devices that provide fast response, and are comparatively smaller and more efficient, with capacity to endure higher input voltages and higher temperatures than their silicon-based counterparts. These characteristics, along with better longevity and greater reliability, place wide bandgap power semiconductor devices as main drivers for key emerging applications like hybrid electric automobiles and renewable energy generation and hence, stimulate the market demand. These devices also play a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency of existing applications.

As wide bandgap semiconductor power devices are light weight, easy to maintain, provide enhanced control with fault detection capability, these devices are intensively used in field of defense and aeronautics especially in applications like RADAR, SONAR, unmanned aerial vehicles, and unmanned underwater vehicles use intensive processing that generates an enormous quantity of heat and as a result want high performance and durable devices to function efficiently and provide the desired output. The above mentioned uses of WBG power semiconductor devices would further boost the market demand.

High cost involved in the production of wide bandgap power semiconductor devices would result in higher price of such devices in comparison to silicon based semiconductor devices and thus may act as a restraining factor for this market.

Asia Pacific is projected to be the main revenue generating region throughout the forecast period. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 23.1% in the forecast period and occupies a market share of around 44% in the year 2018. This can be attributed to factors such as the surging deployment of the uninterrupted power supply devices in the significantly increasing number of data centers in the region and huge investments made in advancement of high signal processing equipment particularly in military and aviation industry. The implementation for wide-bandgap power semiconductor devices in this region is highly likely to surge during the forecast period.

Further key findings from the report suggest

• Silicon Carbide occupies the largest market share in the year 2018 registering a growth rate of CAGR 22.9% during the forecast period.
• Silicon Carbide is more cost-intensive to manufacture than the silicon counterparts and thus has led to the development of cost-effective manufacturing of Gallium Nitride for use wide bandgap power semiconductor devices. GaN is projected to grow at highest growth rate of 23.3% during the forecast period.
• The market for wide bandgap semiconductors in uninterrupted power supply applications occupies the largest market share comprising 40% of the market with a growth rate of CAGR 22.9% during the forecast period. An Uninterruptible Power Supply finds application to safeguard important devices from mains supply issues, including spikes, voltage drops and fluctuations as well as total power failures using a dedicated battery unit. A UPS system may also be used to bridge the power gap while a standby generator is started and synchronized. These applications of UPS is expected create a surge in demand and in turn, will the demand for wide bandgap power semiconductor devices.
