GaN (Gallium Nitride) and SiC (Silicon Carbide) power semiconductors are types of semiconductors composed differently from silicon, with SiC being a composite of silicon and carbon, and GaN being a compound of gallium and nitrogen. Moreover, SiC and GaN possess wider bandgaps compared to silicon.
The primary products within the GaN and SiC power semiconductor category comprise SiC power modules, GaN power modules, discrete SiC components, and discrete GaN components. SiC power modules are specifically designed with silicon carbide semiconductors as switches. These components find application across various sectors, including power supplies, industrial motor drives, hybrid or electric vehicles (H/EVs), photovoltaic inverters, traction systems, among others, and are distributed through both direct and indirect channels in the market.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs have impacted the GaN and SiC power semiconductor market by increasing costs for imported wafers, substrates, epitaxy materials, packaging components, and process equipment. Automotive, renewable energy, power electronics, and industrial sectors in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific are facing higher production costs and delayed supply cycles. Nevertheless, tariffs are driving investment in domestic semiconductor fabrication, encouraging localized supply chains, and accelerating innovation in cost-optimized wide bandgap devices, strengthening long-term market stability.

The gan and sic power semiconductor market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.85 billion in 2025 to $2.31 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in early power electronics adoption, expansion of industrial motor drives, increased use in renewable energy inverters, reliance on silicon-based switching devices, initial adoption in hybrid vehicles.
The gan and sic power semiconductor market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.45 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for electric vehicles, rising deployment of fast-charging infrastructure, expansion of high-efficiency photovoltaic inverters, growth in industrial automation power modules, development of next-generation wide bandgap semiconductor materials. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of high-efficiency wide bandgap power devices, expansion of intelligent power conversion platforms, development of IoT-enabled semiconductor monitoring, advancement of AI-assisted power management systems, integration of cloud-connected power electronics.
The increasing adoption of electric vehicles is anticipated to drive the growth of the GaN and SiC power semiconductor market in the future. An electric vehicle is defined as a vehicle powered by an electric motor that draws energy from a rechargeable battery. Gallium nitride power semiconductors are utilized in electric vehicles for high-efficiency power transistors and integrated circuits. SiC power semiconductors offer several advantages over silicon, such as a breakdown electric field strength that is 10 times greater and a band gap that is 3 times wider, making them suitable for electric vehicles. For example, in June 2024, a report by the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, noted that energy efficiency investments increased by 16% to USD 600 billion in 2022, spurred by government stimulus programs. Global heat pump sales also rose over 10%, with nearly 40% growth in Europe, while electric vehicles represented 14% of global car sales, with projections to reach 18% in 2023. Consequently, the rising penetration of electric vehicles is fueling demand for the GaN and SiC power semiconductor market.
Leading innovators in the GaN and SiC power semiconductor market are focusing on developing technological advancements such as integrated GaN-based bidirectional power ICs to improve power conversion efficiency, enable compact system design, and support high-frequency operation in electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy systems, and data centers. Integrated GaN power ICs combine high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) structures and driver circuitry within a single package-allowing higher breakdown voltages, ultra-fast switching speeds, lower energy losses, and smaller form factors compared to traditional silicon-based MOSFETs or IGBTs. For instance, in April 2025, Navitas Semiconductor Corporation, a US-based power semiconductor company, launched the 650 V Bi-Directional GaNFast Power ICs designed for next-generation EV on-board chargers, solar inverters, and motor drives. The product integrates GaN power switches and gate drivers into a single chip, supports bidirectional power flow for both charging and discharging, and enables higher power density and system efficiency while reducing size, weight, and thermal losses.
In October 2023, Infineon Technologies AG, a leading German semiconductor manufacturer, completed the acquisition of GaN Systems Inc. for a significant $830 million. This acquisition marks a substantial leap in Infineon's GaN roadmap, solidifying its position as a prominent player in the GaN landscape. By integrating GaN Systems Inc., a Canada-based company specializing in gallium nitride (GaN) power semiconductors, Infineon gains access to an extensive array of GaN-based power conversion technologies and cutting-edge application expertise. This strategic move not only reinforces Infineon's standing as an industry leader in power semiconductors but also accelerates time-to-market for innovative solutions.
