Global GaN Devices Market CAGR Growth of 93% by 2020 - Trends, Technologies & Opportunities Report 2016-2020 - Key Vendors: Efficient, Sharp, Texas Instruments

Dublin, March 10, 2016 -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/znfwsl/gan_devices_for) has announced the addition of the "GaN Devices for Power Electronics Patent Investigation" report to their offering.

This report forecasts that the global GaN power semiconductor devices market will grow at an estimated 93% CAGR during the 2016-2020 period.

More than 1,960 patented inventions related to GaN power electronics have been published worldwide up to April 2015. The first patents were published in the mid-1990s by silicon power companies (Furukawa Electric, International Rectifier, Infineon). But the take-off of patenting activity was really observed ten years later with a first wave of patent publications over the 2005-2009 period, mainly due to American companies (International Rectifier, Power Integrations) and Japanese companies (Panasonic, Rohm, Furukawa Electric, Sumitomo Electric, Toshiba, Toyota). A second wave of patent publications started in 2010, mainly originating from Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, Transphorm, Avogy and Infineon, while the first commercial products, collaborations, mergers and acquisitions emerged. Quite recently LED pure-players like Seoul Semiconductor have entered the Power GaN IP arena.
