Austin, Aug. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- High Electron Mobility Transistor Market Size & Growth Outlook:
According to the SNS Insider, “The global High Electron Mobility Transistor Market was valued at USD 7.10 Billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 15.31 Billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 8.20% during 2026–2035.”
5G Infrastructure Deployment and Defense Radar Modernization Accelerate Market Growth
The rollout of global 5G networks represents the biggest demand cycle ever seen for the HEMT market. The shift from 4G to 5G massive MIMO network topology results in a jump of power amplifier channels per base station by 8 to 64 times, resulting in further increase in the content of GaN HEMTs per base station despite falling prices. The simultaneous upgrade of defense radar systems, including the U.S. Navy’s SPY-6 AESA radar and NATO alliance radar system in Europe, forms another high-value military procurement cycle irrespective of commercial telecom cycle variations.
