Unique Spectrometer Developed at UAH Finds Ultrafast Aspect of Gallium Arsenide
On May 11th, 2020; Scientists at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) had developed an extraordinary spectrometer to study ultrafast properties of photonic materials and gadgets and have utilized it to find an until recently never observed aspect of gallium arsenide (GaAs), one of the most significant photonic materials.
Increasing Demand for GaAs Devices Across Various End-User Industries, Rising Adoption of Smartphones, and Growing Adoption of 4G & 5G Networks are Some of the Major Factors Driving the Market Growth
One of the major factors driving the growth of the gallium arsenide market is the increasing demand for GaAs devices across various end-user industries such as aerospace and defense, electronics, and communications. Although GaAs is certainly not a wide bandgap material, it has a more extensive bandgap than silicon, making them more impervious to radiation. These radiation resistances, and a high limit for heat, make GaAs wafers particularly viable in the defense and aerospace industries. Gallium arsenide devices are relatively insensitive to overheating, because of their broad energy band gaps, and they make less noise in electronic circuits than in silicon devices, particularly at higher frequencies. So, increasing demand for GaAs devices across various end-user industries is expected to increase the growth of the gallium arsenide market.
In addition, the rising adoption of smartphones is also boosting the growth of the gallium arsenide market. Gallium Arsenide is a constantly favoured material for smartphones RF parts. It offers various benefits such as extremely high electron mobility, low noise, high thermal stability, and a broad temperature operating range. Therefore, the increasing adoption of smartphones is expected to fuel the market growth over the forecast period. For example; according to GSM Association; there will be approximately 7.5 billion smartphone connections by 2025, globally. Also, according to, the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association, the number of smartphone users in the U.S. is 262 million in 2018.
Moreover, the growing adoption of 4G & 5G networks is also fostering the global gallium arsenide market. For instance; according to Benton Institute for Broadband and Society, India's 5G consumer broadband pricing tracker has projected 1.3 billion 5G connections by the end of 2022 for the fourth quarter of 2021. The company reports that in 2021, 303 million 5G connections were added worldwide, bringing the total to 521 million. However, the high production cost may hinder the growth of the global gallium arsenide market. In spite of that, advancements in broadband cellular network technology may create more opportunities for the further growth of the global gallium arsenide market.
Asia Pacific is Expected to Witness a Fastest Growth in the Global Gallium Arsenide Market
Geographically, Asia Pacific is expected to witness a fastest growth in the global gallium arsenide market within the forecast period due to the increasing internet penetration, rising use of gallium arsenide in electronics, and growing demand for advanced technological devices in this region. Increasing internet penetration is driving the growth of the market. For example; according to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), India's internet users are expected to increase from 445.96 million in 2017 to 829 million by 2021. Therefore, increasing internet penetration is expected to fuel the market growth over the forecast period. The Asia Pacific is a largest manufacturer in the electronic industry. GaAs gadgets are moderately insensitive toward overheating, attributable to their more extensive energy band gap, and they additionally will generally make less noise in electronic circuits than silicon gadgets, particularly at high frequencies. Hence, the increasing use of gallium arsenide in electronics, gallium arsenide is expected to boost the market growth in this region.
North America is the expected to show a significant growth in the global gallium arsenide market due to the increasing consumption of smartphones, rising numbers of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and the presence of key players in this region. For instance; according to IEEE Xplore; on May 3rd, 2021; IoT has more than 8 billion connected devices and this number will continue to grow and reach 41 billion by 2027.
