Ireland`s import shipments of gallium arsenide (GaAs) wafers in 2024 continued to be dominated by top exporting countries such as Japan, Germany, USA, Taiwan, Province of China, and South Korea. The market concentration, as measured by the HHI, remained high in 2024 following a very high concentration in the previous year. Despite a negative CAGR from 2020 to 2024, there was a noticeable growth rate of 4.3% from 2023 to 2024. This suggests a potential shift in the market dynamics and a slight rebound in demand for GaAs wafers in Ireland.
