The GaN RF market enjoyed a healthy increase in 2015. 2015 was a significant year for the GaN RF industry, with a dramatic increase in wireless infrastructure market sales driven by the massive adoption of LTE networks in China. By year’s end, the total RF GaN market was close to $300M. Sales will likely not soar as high over the next two years, but growth will continue, mainly driven by increased adoption of GaN technology in the wireless infrastructure and defense markets. A significant boost will occur around 2019 – 2020, led by the implementation of 5G networks. Market size will be multiplied by 2.5 by the end of 2022, posting a CAGR of 14%...
