Wide Band Gap(WBG) Power Device Market Size, Share, Growth, and Industry Analysis, By Type (GaN Power Devices and SiC Power Devices), By Application (Car, Transportation, Energy, Industrial, Consumption and Others) and Regional Forecast to 2032

WIDE BAND GAP (WBG) POWER DEVICE MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global Wide Band Gap(WBG) Power Device Market size was USD 1.53 billion in 2023 and the market is projected to touch USD 3.64 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 13.4% during the forecast period.

WBG power devices are taken as semiconductor devices that function effectively from high voltage and temperature to high frequency applications. WBG devices differ from the conventional Si-based power devices in the sense that they apply materials with a wider band gap such as SiC and GaN.

COVID-19 Impact: Market Growth restrained by the Pandemic due to Supply Chain Disruptions

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The covid-19 affected many industries, including the global supply chain of equipment and other materials needed in the production of WBG power devices. These disruptions averted the organization’s production and delivery mechanism which also affected the growth of the market and project development.
