Home Industry insights Strategy Insights China’s lead in power GaN consumer
devices drives the future use in telecom/datacom and automotive


CHINA’S LEAD IN POWER GAN CONSUMER DEVICES DRIVES THE FUTURE USE IN
TELECOM/DATACOM AND AUTOMOTIVE

March 02, 2023
 * 
 * 

As wide bandgap materials start to replace silicon in power electronics, gallium
nitride’s foothold in the consumer sector, particularly in China, is set to
drive considerable growth in the power device market over the next few years.

A third-generation material still experiencing much innovation and development
(the first commercial power device was launched just 10 years ago), GaN has a
fascinating outlook in power electronics.

Through its extensive market report, Power GaN, Yole Intelligence, part of Yole
Group predicts the power GaN device market to be worth $2 billion by 2027, up
from $126 million in 2021. With a substantial CAGR of 59% expected, Yole
Intelligence’s analysts anticipates many mergers & acquisitions, heavy
investment, in addition to unique partnerships as GaN penetrates applications
such as automotive and telecom/datacom.

Yole Group and its entities, Yole Intelligence and Yole SystemPlus has been
analysing the gallium nitride (GaN) technologies and markets for more than 10
years  with a significant collection of analyses including Power GaN, Status of
the Compound Semiconductor Industry, Power SiC/GaN CS Market Monitor…

ACQUISITION


CONSUMER DRIVING GAN, ESPECIALLY IN CHINA

The consumer sector has been the main driver of GaN adoption by OEMs until now,
thanks to the material’s cost and efficiency benefits, and this is not expected
to slow down. Consumer applications are expected to grow from $79.6 million in
2021 to $964.7 million in 2027 in the power GaN market, Yole Intelligence
forecasts, at a 52% CAGR. The consumer sector will represent 48% of the overall
industry in 2027.

Fast charging has been the main application propelling this adoption, thanks to
the demand for faster, cheaper and more ecological powering of electronics
devices.

With GaN, smartphone manufacturers can make chargers with smaller case sizes,
and with an improved price over power ratio. Despite the unit price of GaN-based
devices being more expensive than silicon, the higher frequency and higher power
density values result in a lower dollar per Watt. Comparing Samsung’s silicon-
and GaN-based chargers helps to demonstrate this: Samsung’s 45W Si fast charger
has a power density of 0.55W/cm3; while its 45W GaN-based charger boasts a
0.76w/cm3 power density with almost 30% smaller footprint. Other comparisons
between silicon and GaN products are made in Yole Intelligence’s report.

Chinese OEMs such as Xiaomi, Vivo, Lenovo, OnePlus Technology and Nubia are just
a few of the companies mentioned in the report who have released fast chargers
in the last two years.

While electronics OEMs in other regions have GaN fast-charging products, such as
Apple (USA), and Samsung (Korea), the far higher number of Chinese OEMs,
supported by the region’s excellent manufacturing capacity and dedicated supply
chain, allows the region to dominate in the power GaN consumer space. The
domestic supply chain in China has been able to support high-volume shipments
with bottom-up approaches since 2021. The region is one of the largest markets
in consumer products, and this demand has driven the development of integrated
device manufacturers (IDMs), foundries and packagers/OSATs.

Innoscience and Sanan IC are two important Chinese players within the power GaN
ecosystem helping to propel China’s lead. Innoscience is the largest 8-inch IDM
focused on GaN technology in the world; while Sanan IC is a compound
semiconductor wafer foundry that provides a GaN foundry service for
high-efficiency power designs.

Other upcoming applications in the consumer sector include audio devices, such
as class D audio amplifiers, which may take a small amount of business in the
coming years. However, fast chargers are expected to be the main drivers of the
consumer market in the forecasted period.




OEMS CONSIDER HIGH WATTAGE CHARGERS

A new trend to target power higher than 75W for smartphone fast chargers could
boost the adoption of GaN by smartphone OEMs in the near future. Powers above
75W in most countries require a power factor correction (PFC) circuit, which
requires a greater amount of GaN content used.

The majority of GaN-based chargers on the market today sit around 65W or below,
a ‘sweet spot’ in terms of price vs performance. But as demand for ever faster
charging continues, OEMs are considering the trade-off between the added
benefits to the consumer – significantly improved charging speeds and being able
to charge a laptop with the same charger – and the unit price.

A limited number of high-wattage devices exist today, such as Xiaomi’s 210W fast
charger, which allows users to charge its Redmi Note 12 Discovery’s 4,300mAh
battery from empty to full in just nine minutes. Will the desire for faster,
more functional chargers see this trend continue?


EMERGING APPLICATIONS FOR GAN

Following 10 years in the consumer space, GaN technology is maturing, resulting
in the material starting to penetrate industrial applications. The automotive
and telecom/datacom industries, for example, have small footholds today, but are
expected to see high growth rates in the coming years. Analysts forecasts that
the automotive and mobility sector will grow from $5.3 million in 2021 to 308.9
million in 2027, at a staggering 97% CAGR. Telecom/Datacom will grow at a 69%
annual growth rate to reach $617.8 million in 2027.

From 2024-25, the main drivers in the automotive market will be onboard chargers
for electric vehicles (AC-DC conversion), as well as DC/DC converters(- voltages
ranging from 48 V to 400V ). In the longer term, approaching 2030, OEMs will
start to consider integrating GaN in the main inverters  (650-800V).

China is one of the biggest markets in the automotive (particularly electric
vehicle) market, which helps drive the region’s market independent of
international trading issues. Small e-mobility will be an important application
here, where compact urban cars, mopeds, scooters and e-bikes use small electric
motors with 48V and 96V batteries become increasingly popular.

The different requirements for the consumer and automotive/telecom industries
can explain the slower penetration into these markets up until now. Reliability
is of major importance to the automotive and telecom industries, but less so for
consumer, which sees users typically change devices every couple of years. In
addition, the time needed to qualify new technologies – as well as build up
supply chain security – within the more conservative automotive and telecom
sectors is much greater, as seen with silicon carbide in automotive
applications. However, now that the material’s reliability has been proven in
part by its time in the consumer sector, significant interest is now being shown
by OEMs in the telecom, and particularly automotive, sectors.

China’s ‘New Infrastructure Construction’ framework may help Chinese entities
move faster in these emerging industrial applications. Driven by wanting to
achieve further technological independence, the policy aims to develop internal
capacity at all levels of the supply chain through government support for
private sector participation.

In this way, applications can be developed more rapidly in order to gain ‘first
mover’ advantages in markets that support digital infrastructure – for example
EVs, renewable energy, and AI supported by datacenters – in which GaN is a
crucial technology.




UNIQUE PARTNERSHIPS

The last few years has seen an increasing number of car makers partner with GaN
device providers. GaN Systems, an innovative Canadian company  focused on power
GaN semiconductors, has partnered with Toyota, and more recently with BMW on
supplying GaN-based power transistors. Renault, Mclaren, Bugatti, and other car
makers mentioned in Yole Intelligence’s report, have quietly been investing in
the technology too.

In addition, German automotive system maker ZF has partnered with Israeli GaN
company VisIC, while Italian car component maker Marelli has collaborated with
Transphorm, a GaN device company.

What’s unique about the evolution of GaN in the automotive market is the
established car companies partnering with innovative companies for GaN
manufacturing capacity. In addition to GaN Systems, VisIC and Transphorm are
less than 15 years old.

This points towards car maker’s push to adopt new materials as car makers try to
meet electrification goals. But it may also signify a lesson learned from
silicon carbide, another emerging material that plays an important role in power
electronics systems in EVs. Tesla took an early lead in this, thanks to its
collaboration with STMicroelectronics, becoming the first high-class car
manufacturer to integrate a full SiC power module in its Model 3. Other car
makers may now want to learn from Tesla’s strategy it took early on with SiC and
make sure they do not miss the opportunity in GaN.

With its promise for smaller, cheaper and more ecological powering, the adoption
of GaN in automotive, telecom/datacom and other industrial applications is set
to expand. How it evolves in these applications, and the role it plays alongside
silicon carbide, will be interesting to watch.
