The global wide bandgap semiconductor market is estimated to be worth USD 831.8 million by 2032, up from USD 241.3 million in 2022, and to increase at a 13.2% CAGR during the forecast period. As manufacturers increasingly use Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) in radio frequency applications, the need for wide bandgap semiconductors is increasing.
Wide-bandgap semiconductors are semiconductor materials that allow devices to operate at substantially higher temperatures, voltages, and frequencies than traditional semiconductor materials such as gallium arsenide and silicon.
Blue and green LEDs and lasers are primarily made with wide-bandgap semiconductors. This type of semiconductor is also used in particular radio recurrence applications, such as very military radars. Furthermore, wide bandgap semiconductors are classified as cutting-edge semiconductors, and the included qualities make it suitable for a wide range of applications.
