High Electron Mobility Transistor Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)
High Electron Mobility Transistor Market Overview
The Market for High electron
mobility transistor is forecast to reach $2.8 billion by 2026,
growing at a CAGR of 15.2% from 2021 to 2026. The market growth is attributed
to the factors such as rapid industrialisation, technological developments, and
growing demand from consumer electronics, automobiles industries and others. One of the first selections for these
components is the GaN HEMTs. Active electronic sensor arrays are constructed
from GaN-based HEMTs, used for airborne radars, ground-based air defense
radars, and naval radar. In a standard DBS receiver, discrete HEMTs are almost
often used as the preamplifier, accompanied by one or more GaAs MESFET
monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) including heterostructure FET (Field Effect Transistors) and modulation-doped FET due to their excellent
low-noise characteristics.

High Electron Mobility Transistor Market Drivers
Growth of Consumer electronics
The growing demand of consumer
electronics and the applicability of high electron mobility transistor tends to
drive the market growth. High electron mobility transistors produce high gain,
making these transistors very useful as amplifiers. They can quickly switch
speeds. And finally, very low noise values are produced as the current
variations in these transistors are relatively low.
Growing Usage in Automotive Sector
The Automotive sector is
increasingly utilizing HEMT solutions. A hybrid vehicle (HV) and electric
vehicle (EV) systems use many power switching devices. Higher performances than
Si power device, for instance, low on-resistance, high speed, high operating
temperature, are highly required for future development of the HV / EV. GaN
power devices are gaining significant attention for applications. Small signal
amplifiers, power amplifiers, oscillators and mixers working at frequencies up to
60 GHz and more are commonly used in low-noise signal amplifiers owing to their
noise efficiency. In reality, HEMT devices are used for a broad variety of RF
architecture applications. Consequently these features along with its
applications leverages a positive impact on the market growth.
