In the aftermarket, consumers were drawn in by the rising desire for contemporary charger designs with compact designs.
GaN is a semiconductor, a material with conductivity value between a conductor and an insulator. The rising demand for GaN adapter can be attributed to its efficacy to withstand higher voltages and conduct current much faster. Its efficiency for conducting current is 1000x better when compared to silicon. With the recent advancements and breakthrough in the technological industry as well as the increasing demand for GaN adapter amongst the smart phone users, is expected to create massive revenue generation opportunities for the key players operating in the global GaN adapters market during the forecast period. It was found that, between 2021 to 2022, more than 268 million smartphone users were added worldwide.
Growth Drivers
Increase in the Number of Personal Computers (PC) - The consumers are looking forward for more compatible and quick charging options for their smart devices and personal computers and it is expected to rise the growth of the global GaN market. It was found that, in the year 2021, the global PC shipments recorded 15% hike as compared to 2020, with more than 340 million units’ PC including desktops, notebooks and workstations shipped globally.
Upsurge in the Number of Data-center – There is a need for more efficient, smaller power supplies technology owing to its stronger restrictions for energy consumption. The increasing number of data-centers is projected to increase the growth of the global GaN adapters. For instance, with the available data of 110 countries, approximately 8,000 data centers were found across globe in January 2021.
Rising Number of Electric Vehicles – requires more power-dense batteries, efficient electric motors, and new wide-bandgap semiconductor solutions for the entire powertrain. The increasing demand for EV is expected to propel the demand GaN adapters as it is a wide-bandgap material providing numerous advantages at the system level for better performance. According to the Global EV Outlook 2022 published by International Energy Agency technology by the end of 2021, there were approximately 16.5 million electric cars on the world’s roads.
Upsurge in the demand for Television – Requirement of high-efficiency power supplies of several hundred watts for the television is expected to drive the growth of the global GaN adapters market. In the year 2020, 8 million units of television sets were sold in United Kingdom.
Rising Demand for Ear-Buds – About 65% of people use wireless headphones at home against approximately 57% who use earphones. While using headphones outside, individuals choose wireless earbuds about 54% compare to approximately 44%.

Application (Mobile Phones, Computers & Laptops, Consumer Electronics, Automotive, Industrial Products)
The global GaN adapters market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into mobile phones, computers & laptops, consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial products. Out of these, the consumer electronics segment is anticipated to hold the largest share over the forecast period on the back of growing electronics industry, and rising export and import of consumer electronics worldwide. As per the India Brand Equity Foundation, the appliances and consumer electronics industry accounted for USD 9.84 billion in 2021, and is expected to reach more than USD 21.18 billion by 2025.
Power (45W, 65W, More than 100W)
The global GaN adapters market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by power into 45W, 65W, and more than 100W. Amongst which, the 65W segment is anticipated to garner the highest revenue by the end of 2037. The growth of the segment can be attributed to growing technology improvement in 65W GaN adapters. For instance, this Belkin brick is the ideal first GaN charger. With its dual USB-C connectors, it can simultaneously charge two compatible devices. It allows access to 45W + 20W when utilizing both USB-C ports or up to 65W when using a single USB-C port. The devices would only receive the power that they can handle owing to built-in PPS technology. Hence more people are estimated to purchase 65W GaN adapters owing to advanced technology.
