Gallium Arsenide Wafer Market Dynamics

Advantages of Gallium Arsenide over Silicon Bolster Applications of Gallium Arsenide Wafer across Industries

Silicon is one of the most popular choice of material for manufacturing wafers and it finds numerous applications across a wide range of industrial sectors. However, the demand for gallium arsenide wafers are likely to supersede the demand for silicon wafers owing to the extraordinary material properties of gallium arsenide. Gallium arsenide is a lightweight and more flexible material than silicon, which improve the characteristics of gallium arsenide wafers in comparison with silicon wafers.

Also, gallium arsenide wafers are highly resistant to external factors, such as radiation, moisture, and ultraviolet light, which is another important factor to boost applications of gallium arsenide wafers across industries. As a result, gallium arsenide wafers are becoming a popular choice for aerospace applications, where resistance to ultraviolet rays and radiation is a must. Thereby, extraordinary material properties of gallium arsenide wafers are bolstering its demand over silicon wafers in various end-use applications.

Increasing Demand for Gallium Arsenide Wafers in Solar Applications will Boost Market Growth

Gallium arsenide wafers are gaining immense popularity as one of the most efficient solar material, as it helps end-users to produce more power for a given surface area than silicon wafers. Furthermore, material properties of gallium arsenide to perform well despite the low availability of sunlight leads to boosting demand for gallium arsenide wafers in solar power applications.

A mounting number of end-users are adopting strategies to grow a thin gallium arsenide layer on a crystal gallium arsenide wafer and then remove it to manufacture a flexible and lightweight solar cell. Thereby, growing needs for manufacturing lightweight, flexible, and highly efficient solar cells are triggering growth of the gallium arsenide wafer market across the world.

Increasing Applications of Gallium Arsenide Wafers in Communication Devices Mark an Important Market Trend

Despite the high demand for gallium phosphide (GaP) and indium phosphide (InP) in communication devices owing to their high data transmission speed, gallium arsenide wafers are being used vastly in communication devices as they enable manufacturers in the communication devices market to offer better production scalability of their products. Gallium arsenide wafer-based communication devices exhibit superior properties compared to communication devices manufacturing using other semiconductor wafers as they can be produced on a large scale with an excellent yield rate.

Furthermore, with the emerging concept of the Internet of Things (IoT), the demand for gallium arsenide wafer-based, high-frequency communication devices has increased rapidly. Improved scalability, functionality, and compatibility of communication devices made of gallium arsenide wafer with the IoT network is complementing growth of the gallium arsenide wafer market. A majority of companies in the communication devices market are adopting strategies to expand their communication infrastructure, and this may boost adoption of gallium arsenide wafer-based devices. Thereby, this is likely to become one of the most popular trends in the gallium arsenide wafer market in the forthcoming years.
