Aluminum Gallium Indium Phosphide Semiconductor Market - Forecast(2023 - 2028)

Aluminum gallium indium phosphide semiconductor market size is forecast to reach US$584.8 million by 2026, after growing at a CAGR of 2.5% during 2021-2026, owing to the increasing usage of aluminum gallium indium phosphide semiconductor in various end-use industries such as electrical & electronics, aerospace, and solar energy for applications such as light emitting diodes, optoelectronic devices, photovoltaics. Due to its large bandgap, the aluminum gallium indium phosphide (AlGaInP) semiconductor offers a forum for the production of photo optics applications. The rapid growth of the electrical and electronics industry has increased the demand for aluminum gallium indium Phosphide semiconductors; thereby, fueling the market growth. Furthermore, the flourishing solar energy industry is also expected to drive the aluminum gallium indium phosphide semiconductor industry substantially during the forecast period.

In the short term, the electronics industry is suffering due to disruptions in supplies from China and other countries, given its reliance on them to meet its raw material requirements. Because of COVID-19, some suppliers across countries have temporarily stopped their production, while logistics suppliers are also unable to transport products seamlessly, particularly across borders, due to pandemic-related constraints. Owing to these closures, the supply chain and the number of imported parts have also been seriously affected and, therefore, manufacturers are feeling the effect of part shortages in their supply networks. The shipping of goods is also being delayed by at least 4-5 weeks upon the re-opening of manufacturing units with small cargo vessels around the world. Thus, the covid-19 pandemic is having a major impact on the electronics market, which is then limiting the aluminum gallium indium phosphide semiconductor market growth during the outbreak.

It is also used to manufacture diode lasers that are used in optical disc readers, DVD players, and compact disc players. Laser pointers, gas sensors, pumping sources, and machining are some of the other AlGaInP-based laser diode applications. The Chinese government launched its "Made in China 2025" plan in 2015, part of which was aimed at improving its semiconductor industry and replacing imports with domestic demand by up to US$150 billion by 2025. Thus, the increasing application of aluminum gallium indium phosphide semiconductor and the expanding semiconductor market is the major factor driving the demand for aluminum gallium indium phosphide semiconductor in the electrical & electronics market during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific region held the largest share in the aluminum gallium indium phosphide semiconductor market in 2020 up to 35% and is growing at a CAGR of 8.1% during 2021-2026, owing to the increasing demand for aluminum gallium indium phosphide semiconductor from the electrical and electronics industry in the region to manufacture products such as light emitting diodes, optoelectronic devices, photovoltaics, and more. According to China's National Integrated Circuit Development Promotion Outline, the Chinese government will make significant efforts to support the electronics industry, especially IC manufacturing and design. China's annual average rate of increase in IC output will be over 14 percent by 2022. According to Invest India, India's share of global electronics manufacturing has increased from 1.3 percent in 2012 to 3 percent in 2018. Furthermore, by 2025, India's consumer electronics and appliances industry is projected to be the fifth largest in the world. India may have a digital economy worth US$800 billion to US$1 trillion by 2025. Thus, with the expanding electronics industry, the demand for aluminum gallium indium phosphide semiconductor will also subsequently increase, which is anticipated to drive the aluminum gallium indium phosphide semiconductor market in the APAC region during the forecast period.

With the advanced operational capabilities, aluminum gallium indium phosphide semiconductor finds a massive scope in the aerospace industry to manufacture gadgets such as computers, information processing units, information -display systems, plane guidance-control assemblies, and more. In 2019, China was the second-largest civil aerospace and aviation services market in the world and one of the fastest-growing markets, according to the International Trade Administration (ITA). China will require 7,690 new aircraft over the next 20 years, estimated at US$1.2 trillion, according to Boeing (Commercial Business Forecast 2018-2037). By 2030, Boeing's latest business outlook predicts demand for 2,520 new aircraft in the Middle East. With the increasing aerospace production, the demand for aluminum gallium indium phosphide semiconductor to manufacture aviation gadgets will also eventually increase. Hence, the flourishing aerospace industry acts as a driver for the aluminum gallium indium phosphide semiconductor market.

The aluminum gallium indium phosphide semiconductor's high direct bandgap makes it one of the most promising candidates for the development of top junction layers in multi-junction solar cells. In a five-junction structure, the use of aluminum gallium indium phosphide with high aluminum content will lead to solar cells with maximum theoretical efficiencies above 40 percent. And the formulation of favorable government policies, growing awareness about renewable energy sources, increasing investments, and more is flourishing the solar energy market in various regions. For instance, on 16 September 2019, during the G5 Sahel summit in Burkina Faso gave strong support to Desert to Power, an initiative launched by the Africa Development Bank (AFDB) in 2018. The initiative aims to develop 10 GW of solar power for the 250 million people across the Sahel region via a network of solar power generation, producing 10GW by 2025. In June 2016, the Minister of Economic Affairs announced the new target of 20 GW PV power by 2025 (17 GW ground-mounted and 3 GW rood-top systems). Thus, the booming solar energy industry in various regions acts as a driver for the aluminum gallium indium phosphide semiconductor market during the forecast period.

Aluminum gallium indium phosphide is extensively employed in various end-use industries because of its superior properties like high optical transparency and low sheet resistance. It does, however, have some serious and well-known flaws, such as a lack of versatility and a high price tag. Therefore, the market is shifting towards adopting a new semiconductor. Because of its comparable transparency and sheet resistance qualities, silver nanowires (Ag NWs) networks have recently attracted a lot of attention as a potentially good transparent conductor. Another benefit of Ag NWs networks is that they can be conveniently coated onto various substrates using various deposition processes. Thus, the availability of other substitute materials may pose to be a significant challenge for the aluminum gallium indium phosphide market during the forecast period.

Technology launches, acquisitions, and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in the aluminum gallium indium phosphide semiconductor market. Major players in the aluminum gallium indium phosphide semiconductor market are NXP Semiconductors, Analog Devices, Texas Instruments, OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, Microsemi, GaN Systems, Infineon Technologies, Advanced Wireless Semiconductor, STMicroelectronics, and WIN Semiconductors.
