In power electronics, a power device is a semiconductor device that is used as a switch or rectifier; for instance, a switch-mode power supply (SMPS). The power devices, which use gallium nitride (GaN) as the semiconductor material, are known as GaN power devices. GaN power devices diminish the overall energy loss of the system. Unlike the conventional transistors that need larger chip area to decrease on-resistance, GaN devices offer compact sizes and hence, provide high-speed switching and size contraction of the overall system.

Factors that assist the market growth include decline in prices, better performance as compared to silicon carbide (SiC) devices, rise in demand for GaN devices for wireless charging, increase in adoption of GaN devices in electric vehicles, and growth in requirement of GaN devices in commercial RF applications. However, lack of availability of GaN material restrains the market growth. Government initiatives for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) and smart grid are anticipated to provide numerous opportunities for market growth during the forecast period.

In 2015, GaN power modules contributed over 45% share in the market, and is expected to maintain its dominant position throughout the forecast period, owing to the vast demand of power modules that run on high voltage with the priority of minimum current loss. Moreover, North America region is the major revenue contributor, owing to large IT & Telecommunication industry, rise in sale of consumer electronic products, and increase in demand for electric vehicles utilizing power devices for energy transaction on wide scale.
