Power IC and discrete markets project 6-7% CAGR expansion on AI datacenter GaN and SiC demand
Question
Power IC and discrete markets project 6-7% CAGR expansion on AI datacenter GaN and SiC demand
Direct answer
Escalating kilowatt-per-rack power densities in artificial intelligence compute installations force a mix shift toward higher-efficiency Gallium Nitride and Silicon Carbide power discretes from suppliers including ON Semiconductor and STMicroelectronics. — bullish pressure on ON via power component content expansion in AI data centers and automotive systems.
