A GaN-based power supply adapter is an electrical device that utilizes gallium nitride (GaN) transistors to convert and regulate electrical power. It efficiently changes high-voltage input power to a lower voltage output suitable for powering electronic devices. GaN-based adapters take advantage of GaN semiconductors' unique properties to deliver better performance compared to traditional silicon-based adapters.
The main types of GaN-based power supply adapters are categorized by their power output, less than 100 watts, 100-160 watts, 160-200 watts, and more than 200 watts. Adapters with a power output of less than 100 watts are intended for smaller electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and some laptops, providing compact and efficient power solutions. The adapters come with various port configurations, including single-port, dual-port, and multi-port chargers, and are used in applications such as computers and laptops, mobile phones and wearables, other consumer electronics, automotive, industrial products, and more.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs have influenced the gan-based power supply adapter market by increasing costs of imported gan semiconductors, power components, and manufacturing equipment, impacting overall production economics. These effects are most prominent in consumer electronics and automotive charging segments, particularly across asia-pacific and north america where electronics manufacturing is concentrated. Elevated costs have led to selective price increases and slower rollout of high-wattage adapters in cost-sensitive markets. However, tariffs have also encouraged local manufacturing investments and supply chain diversification, supporting long-term resilience and innovation in gan power technologies.

This GaN-based power supply adapters research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The gan-based power supply adapter market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.08 billion in 2025 to $1.15 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing demand for fast charging consumer electronics, limitations of silicon-based power adapters, increasing power requirements of laptops and devices, early adoption of usb-c charging standards, rising energy efficiency awareness.
The gan-based power supply adapter market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.47 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of electric vehicle charging accessories, increasing deployment of gan in data center power supplies, growth in high-power consumer electronics, stricter energy efficiency regulations, rising adoption of universal fast chargers. Major trends in the forecast period include high-efficiency gan power conversion, compact and high power density adapter designs, fast charging support for multi-device ecosystems, thermal management optimization in power adapters, rising adoption of usb-c and universal charging standards.
The rising demand for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations is anticipated to drive the growth of the GaN-based power supply adapter market. EV charging stations, also known as charging points or EV chargers, are facilities designed to recharge electric vehicle batteries. The increased demand for EVs is attributed to higher sales volumes, a broader range of model options, urbanization, corporate fleet adoption, and stricter environmental regulations. GaN-based power supply adapters significantly enhance the performance and efficiency of EV charging stations due to their high efficiency, compact size, rapid charging capabilities, advanced thermal management, reliability, and future-proof design. These benefits lead to improved overall performance and reduced operational costs for EV charging infrastructure. For instance, in March 2024, the Department of Energy Alternative Fuels Data Center, a US-based government organization, reported that the number of public and private electric car charging ports in the US rose from 151,273 units in 2022 to 184,098 units in 2023. Consequently, the increasing demand for EV charging stations is propelling the growth of the GaN-based power supply adapter market.
Leading companies in the GaN-based power supply adapter market are concentrating on technological advancements, such as GaN-based notebook adapter solutions, to deliver enhanced performance, efficiency, and sustainability in notebook power delivery.
