Dublin, Jan. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Radio Frequency (RF) Semiconductor Market Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The report provides an exhaustive analysis of industry trends, regional shares, and competitive landscapes, essential for navigating the complex global market environment.
The gallium arsenide (GaAs) radio frequency (RF) semiconductor market has shown robust growth and is set to continue expanding. From 2025 to 2026, the market is projected to increase from $2.23 billion to $2.38 billion, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. This expansion is linked to the proliferation of wireless communication networks, early adoption of GaAs in microwave applications, heightened defense electronics spending, satellite communication advancements, and demand for superior high-frequency RF performance.
Looking ahead, the GaAs RF semiconductor market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5%, reaching $3.06 billion by 2030. Such growth will be propelled by the deployment of advanced 5G and future 6G networks, the rise of connected and autonomous vehicles, expansion in space and satellite endeavors, burgeoning demand for high-bandwidth data transmissions, and progress in compound semiconductor manufacturing. Noteworthy trends include increasing integration of GaAs RF semiconductors within 5G infrastructure, heightened demand for efficient RF power amplifiers, and broader incorporation of GaAs devices in radar, defense systems, and automotive connectivity.
The advent of 5G technology significantly boosts the GaAs RF semiconductor market. 5G, the latest iteration in mobile networks, assures faster data speeds, diminished latency, and improved reliability. Its adoption grows as demand for robust mobile internet intensifies, driven by the expansion of smartphones and data-centric applications. GaAs RF semiconductors, pivotal to 5G technology, provide high electron mobility and operate at elevated frequencies, optimizing signal transmission. According to recent data, North America reported a 40% 5G penetration rate by September 2023, with projections indicating 669 million 5G connections by 2028, underscoring significant market impact.
Industry frontrunners in the GaAs RF semiconductor domain, such as Skyworks Solutions Inc., WIN Semiconductors Corp., and more, are driving technological innovations like the gallium nitride (GaN) SPDT switches to enhance high-frequency performance. For instance, Tagore Technologies Inc. introduced the TSL8028N in June 2025, a compact, high-power RF receiver front-end module for 5G applications, enhancing network performance and addressing the burgeoning demand for effective GaAs RF components in telecommunications infrastructure.
In strategic developments, CML Microsystems Plc, a UK-based semiconductor entity, acquired Microwave Technology Inc. (MwT) in October 2023. This acquisition broadens CML's product range and infrastructure, capitalizing on MwT's expertise in system-level comprehension and fabrication to expand global market presence, especially in the USA.
However, global trade relations and tariffs impact the GaAs RF semiconductor market by elevating the cost of imported components, especially affecting sectors like telecommunications and defense in Asia Pacific and North America. Nevertheless, these challenges have catalyzed regional fabrication initiatives and greater investment in domestic GaAs manufacturing capabilities.
