Core Viewpoint - The global power semiconductor market is projected to reach 7.771 trillion yen by 2035, which is 2.3 times the size in 2024, driven by the long-term growth from electric vehicle (EV) adoption despite short-term inventory issues in 2024 [1][2]. Market Size and Growth Projections - The power semiconductor market is expected to reach 3.5285 trillion yen in 2025, with silicon power semiconductors accounting for 3.147 trillion yen. The market is anticipated to expand starting in 2026 after inventory normalization [1]. - The next-generation power semiconductor market is projected to reach 513.8 billion yen by 2025, with significant growth expected for GaN power semiconductors due to their ability to replace silicon semiconductors [2]. - By 2035, the market for next-generation power semiconductors is expected to reach 3.1981 trillion yen, with SiC power semiconductors projected to reach 2.9034 trillion yen [2]. Specific Semiconductor Types - SiC power semiconductors are expected to see an adoption rate exceeding 50% in electric vehicles by 2035, up from just over 10% in 2024 [2]. - The GaN power semiconductor market is projected to grow to 278.7 billion yen by 2035, with significant applications in AC-DC adapters and server power supplies [3]. - The market for GaN power semiconductors is expected to reach 58 billion yen by 2025, driven by production scale effects and price reductions [3]. Wafer and Component Market Trends - The power semiconductor wafer market is expected to reach 300.9 billion yen by 2025 and 911.8 billion yen by 2035, with SiC wafers projected to surpass silicon wafers in 2024 due to increased production from Chinese companies [5]. - The overall market for power semiconductor components is expected to reach 1.7408 trillion yen in 2023 and 615.2 billion yen by 2025 [5]. Manufacturing Equipment Market - The power semiconductor manufacturing equipment market is projected to reach 1.3234 trillion yen by 2035, with a forecasted size of 739.3 billion yen in 2025. A decline in automotive-related capital investment is expected to impact the market in 2025 [7].
