The High Electron Mobility Transistor Market is expected to grow from US$6.389 billion in 2025 to US$8.136 billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 4.95%.
A high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) is a field-effect transistor that combines a junction between two kinds with distinct band gaps as the channel. A HEMT device's major properties are the ability to operate at higher frequencies, which expands its uses in high-frequency devices.
Ample investments and improvements of HEMTs by key companies are projected to boost the HEMT market's growth. Furthermore, the strong demand for innovative HEMT technologies in the aerospace and military industries, as well as the automotive sector, is predicted to provide profitable prospects for the worldwide high electron mobility transistor business to expand.
The increasing end-user applications by diverse industries have led companies to launch innovative products which have significantly transformed the market to develop for the upcoming years. Due to their high internal frequency switching, HEMT circuits are now in great demand in spacecraft because they reduce the size of related components such as inductors, converters, resistors, and capacitors. Furthermore, advances in artificial intelligence and its incorporation with consumer technology have resulted in the development of a wide range of goods, including smart speakers, smart lighting, and other smart home devices.
This first indigenous HEMT device composed of gallium nitride (GaN) is beneficial in electric automobiles, locomotives, power transmission, and other fields needing high high-frequency and high-voltage switching, lowering the cost of importing such robust and efficient transistors necessary in power electronics.
For efficient switching performance, power electronic systems require high blocking voltage in the off-state and high current in the on-state. Specific transistors known as HEMTs built of aluminum gallium nitride/gallium nitride (AlGaN/GaN) give an advantage over silicon-based transistors because they allow systems to work at very voltage spikes, switch ON and OFF faster, and operate at lower temperatures.
The spacecraft industry has seen an increase in demand for high electron mobility transistor circuits. A similar tendency has been observed as demand for consumer electronics items that employ high electron mobility transistor circuits has increased.
Microchip Technology, a producer of embedded solutions, extended its portfolio of Gallium Nitride (GaN) RF power devices with new monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) and discrete transistors aimed at applications such as 5G and a variety of aerospace and defense use cases. The new GaN MMICs have frequency ranges ranging from 2 GHz to 20 GHz, and they combine high power-added efficiency (PAE), high linearity to improve performance, and discrete high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) devices. The devices are made with GaN-on-silicon carbide technology, which offers the optimum combination of high efficiency and yield, as well as high-voltage functioning and a lifetime of more than 1 million hours at a junction temperature of 255o C.
North America is the main area that has contributed to the high electron mobility transistor market's expansion. North America is the market's dominant region, owing to expanding consumer electronics demand and increased investment by nations such as the United States. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing area due to increased government incentives to create new technologies such as High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMT).
