WBG Semiconductor Market Definition
The WBG semiconductor market refers to the production, distribution, and use of these semiconductors that are based on new and emerging materials that have band gaps typically in the region of 2 to 3 times that of silicon. These wide bandgaps (WBG) semiconductors allow power electronic components to be more reliable, flexible, smaller, and more efficient than their silicon-based counterparts. These semiconductors are used in battery, solar, SMPS, telecom, EV charging formation, and in chargers and adoption. There is a high demand for these semiconductors in the industries like optoelectronics, RF devices, and power electronics which driving the growth of the WBG semiconductor market.
The challenging factors of the market include supply chain constraints, lack of material availability, critical manufacturing processes, and high production costs that can limit the growth of the market. The future scope of the market includes integrating automation and electrification in industries, initiating investment, integrating supportive government policies, expanding the market, and reducing costs that factors will help the growth of the WBG semiconductor market. North American region dominated the growth of the market.
