GaN LED Chips Market was valued at USD 27.5 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 9% between 2024 and 2032. The automotive industry has increasingly embraced GaN LED chips due to their superior brightness, longer lifespan, and reduced power consumption. These chips are being used in a variety of automotive lighting applications, including headlights, interior lighting, and signal lights. The shift toward electric vehicles (EVs) and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) also supports the growth of GaN LED chips, as they contribute to the overall efficiency and safety of modern vehicles.
For instance, in May 2024, Infineon Technologies AG announces two new generations of high voltage (HV) and medium voltage (MV) CoolGaN TM devices which now enable customers to use Gallium Nitride (GaN) in voltage classes from 40 V to 700 V in a broader array of applications that help drive digitalization and decarbonization. These two product families are manufactured on high performance 8-inch in-house foundry processes in Kulim and Villach. With this, Infineon expands its CoolGaN advantages and capacity to ensure a robust supply chain in the GaN devices market, which is estimated to grow with an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 46 percent over the next five years according to Yole Group.
