Beyond power electronics, wide band gap semiconductors are gaining relevance in RF applications, automotive, and telecommunications. As digital infrastructure grows, the demand for high-speed, energy-efficient semiconductor solutions is expected to rise gradually.
The broader wide band gap semiconductor market encompasses materials like silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), which are gaining adoption in high-power and high-frequency applications. The Philippines` electronics manufacturing sector is exploring opportunities in this domain to enhance competitiveness and meet global demand.
The wide band gap semiconductor market struggles with limited local manufacturing capability and supply chain dependence. High costs and the need for specialized facilities and skilled workforce impede growth. Adoption is also slowed by limited awareness among end-users of the technologyâs advantages.
The increasing use of wide band gap semiconductors across power conversion and communications industries opens avenues for investment in fabrication facilities, distribution channels, and R&D collaborations. Enhancing local supply chains reduces reliance on imports and accelerates adoption in emerging tech sectors.
The wide band gap semiconductors are supported by technology development policies promoting local semiconductor research and production. The government ensures compliance with electronic product safety standards and environmental sustainability measures, aiming to position the Philippines as a competitive player in global semiconductor supply chains.
