Global Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Market Overview
Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) is a compound semiconductor composed of gallium and arsenic, classified as a III–V direct bandgap semiconductor with a zinc blende crystal structure. Compared with silicon, GaAs offers higher electron mobility, superior frequency performance, direct bandgap emission, and higher radiation resistance, making it indispensable in high-performance electronic and optoelectronic applications.
GaAs is extensively used in microwave frequency integrated circuits (RFICs), monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), laser diodes, infrared LEDs, photodetectors, high-efficiency solar cells, and optical windows. Its performance advantages have positioned GaAs as a critical material in wireless communication, aerospace, defense, photonics, and advanced consumer electronics.
The GaAs industry is highly concentrated, characterized by high technical barriers, capital-intensive crystal growth processes, and stringent quality requirements. In 2015, global GaAs consumption reached approximately 7,975 K units, with optoelectronic applications surpassing wireless communication as the largest end-use segment.
The global Gallium Arsenide market is valued at XX million USD in 2025 and is projected to reach XX million USD by 2036, expanding at a CAGR of XX% during 2026–2036.
