動力學
擴大鎵生產能力
由於其成本高且可用性有限,鎵可能會影響生產 AlGaAs 裝置的最終成本。提高鎵生產能力可以帶來規模經濟和更便宜的鎵生產,最終將降低生產 AlGaAs 產品的價格。由於成本降低、需求增加和市場擴張,AlGaAs 裝置可能會在市場上變得更具競爭力。
2024 年 1 月,由於中國國內生產商擴大或擴大產能,中國市場的鎵越來越多。然而,由於新年出口管制法的模糊性和下游需求的缺乏,2024年市場可能會出現更嚴重的庫存過剩。
2024年的新增產能是由中國貿易商估計的,並根據市場參與者的不同而有所不同。一些製造商預計產量將增加 200-300 噸。特別是與替代製程相比,在鋁製造過程中提取鎵具有經濟利益,並且世界上大量含鎵的高品位鋁土礦集中在中國。考慮到中國在該行業的重要作用,鋁公司開始或增加鎵生產可能更方便。
採用 AlGaAs 裝置的消費性電子產品
由於智慧型手機和筆記型電腦等消費性設備數量的不斷增加,對小型或低功率半導體材料和組件的需求不斷增加。基於 AlGaAs 的裝置具有出色的效率、高度可靠並且可以在高頻下運行,因此適合整合到各種消費性電子產品中。
例如,2023 年 9 月,印度科學研究所 (IISc) 的研究人員創建了一種完全本土化的氮化鎵電源開關。此開關可用於無線通訊以及筆記型電腦和電動車的電源轉換器等系統。在IISc奈米科學與工程中心,從材料生長到裝置製造再到封裝的整個開關建構過程都是獨立開發的。
鎵和砷的供應有限
鎵和砷的供應受限也可能導致市場價格波動。 AlGaAs 半導體的生產成本可能會直接受到這些原物料價格波動的影響,從而增加製造商的成本。然後,更高的生產成本可能會轉嫁給客戶,從而提高產品成本,從而可能減少對基於 AlGaAs 的設備的需求。
鎵和砷的稀缺可能成為新公司進入 AlGaAs 產業的障礙。在基礎設施、物流能力和採購協議方面,為這些原料建立可靠的供應鏈需要花費大量成本。小型企業或新來者可能很難與已經建立供應鏈的領先企業競爭。
價格波動
原料(特別是鎵和砷)的價格波動對 AlGaAs 半導體的生產成本有直接影響。當價格上漲時,製造商必須支付更多的生產費用,這可能會降低他們的利潤率或增加基於 AlGaAs 的產品的成本。與其他材料相比,它可能會降低 AlGaAs 的競爭力,並限制其在一系列應用中的使用。
2023 年 7 月,由於買家對中國限制這種稀有金屬(多種科技公司使用的金屬)出貨的決定做出反應,全球鎵價格飆升 27%。因此,由於原料價格波動,全球砷化鋁鎵市場的成長和永續性面臨重大障礙。

Dynamics
Expanding Gallium Production Capacities
Due to its high cost and limited availability, gallium may influence the final cost of producing AlGaAs devices. Increasing gallium production capabilities can result in economies of scale and cheaper gallium production, which will ultimately cut the price of producing AlGaAs products. AlGaAs devices may become more competitive in the market as a result of this cost reduction, increasing demand and market expansion.
In January 2024, Gallium is becoming more and more available on the Chinese market as a result of domestic producers in China growing or extending their capacity. However, the market may experience a more significant overstock in 2024 as a result of ambiguities around the new year's export control laws and a lack of downstream demand.
The additional production capacity for 2024 is estimated by Chinese traders and varies depending on the market participants. A 200-300 Ton's rise is anticipated by several manufacturers. Particularly compared to alternative processes, the extraction of gallium during the manufacturing of aluminum has a financial benefit and a large amount of the world's high-grade bauxite that contains gallium is concentrated in China. It may be more convenient for aluminum companies to begin or increase gallium production considering China's significant role in the industry.
Consumer Electronics Adopting AlGaAs-Based Devices
The need for small or low power semiconductor materials and components is increasing due to the growing number of consumer devices, such as smartphones and laptops. AlGaAs-based devices have excellent efficiency, are highly reliable and can operate at high frequencies, therefore being suitable for incorporation into a variety of consumer electronics products.
For instance, in September 2023, a completely indigenous gallium nitride power switch has been created by researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). The switch may find use in wireless communications and power converters for laptops and electric cars, among other systems. At the IISc Centre for Nano Science and Engineering, the whole switch-building process from material growth to device fabrication to packaging was developed independently.
Limited Availability of Gallium and Arsenic
Market price volatility may also result from the restricted supply of gallium and arsenic. The production costs of AlGaAs semiconductors can be directly impacted by fluctuations in the prices of these raw materials, increasing their cost to manufacturers. Then, higher production costs can be passed on to customers, raising the cost of products potentially decreasing demand for devices based on AlGaAs.
The scarcity of gallium and arsenic may serve as a barrier to entry for new companies entering the AlGaAs industry. It costs a lot to set up a dependable supply chain for these raw resources in terms of infrastructure, logistical prowess and sourcing agreements. It could be difficult for small businesses or recent new arrivals to compete with leading corporations that have already established their supply chains.
Fluctuating Prices
Price fluctuations for raw materials, particularly for gallium and arsenic, have a direct impact on the cost of producing AlGaAs semiconductors. Manufacturers must pay more for production when prices increase, which could decrease their profit margins or escalates up the cost of AlGaAs-based products. It may reduce AlGaAs's competitiveness in comparison to other materials and restrict its use in a range of applications.
In July 2023, the price of gallium surged 27% globally as purchasers responded to China's decision to restrict shipments of this rare metal, which is utilized in a variety of technological companies. Therefore, the global market for aluminum gallium arsenide has significant barriers to its growth and sustainability because of volatile raw material prices.
The global aluminum gallium arsenide market is segmented based on purity, application, end-user and region.
Expansion of Laser Technologies Driven by Electrically Driven Organic Semiconductor Lasers
The introduction of electrically driven organic semiconductor lasers expands the range of lasers accessible in the market. The diversification may pique the interest of companies and applications that have particular requirements that organic semiconductor lasers can meet better than standard AlGaAs-based lasers.
In September 2023, to develop small laser technology, St Andrews scientists are developing an electrically driven organic semiconductor laser over several decades. It is used to transfer information over the internet, for medical treatments and even as face scanner on smartphones. Most of these lasers are composed of hard, brittle semiconductor crystals like gallium arsenide. Therefore, semiconductor lasers application segment captures the majority of the total global segmental shares.
China's Export Controls on Gallium and Germanium Drive Regional Market
In the most recent development in the global struggle for dominance over chipmaking technology, China is placing limitations on the export of gallium and germanium, which are needed to produce semiconductors and gadgets. The limitations will cover gallium and germanium metals as well as a number of their compounds as of August 1, 2023.
China dominates the production of high-tech metals such as gallium germanium and other materials. Chipmaking, telecommunication, electric vehicles and other industries rely heavily on these two metals. The metals also have military applications, including radars, high-power lasers and spy satellites. Therefore, China holds for the majority of the regional market shares.
The demand for numerous electronic products changed during the pandemic. While remote work and learning trends led to increasing demand for certain gadgets such as laptops, tablets and other household electronics, demand in other sectors such as automotive and aerospace fell. The shifts in demand patterns affected the demand for AlGaAs-based components.
Many semiconductor manufacturing facilities throughout the world had to temporarily close or curtail operations to comply with government limitations and guarantee the safety of their employees. The disruptions impacted manufacturing schedules and output levels. The above-mentioned developments hinder the growth of the global aluminum gallium arsenide market.
Larger trade interruptions or economic penalties caused by geopolitical tensions can have an impact on global trade dynamics and economic activity. It can have implications across industries, potentially altering demand for aluminum gallium arsenide based on changes in production, consumption or investment trends.
Russian military activities in Ukraine had a substantial influence on a variety of industries, particularly aluminum. Global aluminum prices had already soared at the start of the year, but the war undoubtedly aggravated the situation in February.
The war drove the price of aluminum to new proportions. For example, the aluminum price on the LME (London Metals Exchange) with the three-month contract peaked at a record US$4,000 per Tons in early March 2022, up from US$ 3,224 monthly average in February of the same year. Market prices have recently fallen as price increases discourage demand, yet even in May 2022, aluminum trades for US$ 3,300, 40% higher than the prior year.
The major global players in the market include Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., ALB Materials, Inc., Umicore, Ganwafer, AXT Inc., EMCORE Corporation, IQE plc, XI'AN FUNCTION MATERIAL GROUP CO.,LTD., Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. and Wafer Technology Ltd.
