Diode - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2026 - 2031)
Market Report I 2026-02-09 I 161 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
Diode Market Analysis
The diode market is expected to grow from USD 18.16 billion in 2025 to USD 19.24 billion in 2026 and is forecast to reach USD 25.67 billion by 2031 at 5.95% CAGR over 2026-2031. Consumer electronics remains the largest end-user at 23.2% diode market share, while automotive applications show the strongest 6.8% CAGR as electric-vehicle programs accelerate worldwide. Asia-Pacific holds 58.86% of global revenue and grows at a 6.63% pace thanks to dense manufacturing clusters in China, Japan, and South Korea. Surface-mount packaging captures 61.2% of shipments, yet chip-scale packages rise at a 7.1% CAGR because handset and IoT producers need ever-smaller footprints.
Global Diode Market Trends and Insights
Digitization of Consumer Electronics Ecosystems
Smartphones, wearables, and connected-home devices embed higher semiconductor content per system, lifting discrete component volumes for signal conditioning, battery protection, and data-line safeguarding. Small-signal and electrostatic-discharge arrays such as the ESDS31x series from Texas Instruments deliver 30 kV protection at up to 5 Gbps data rates, supporting USB, HDMI, and Ethernet interfaces.Asia-Pacific manufacturers assemble about 60% of global electronics hardware, feeding clustered demand for diode arrays that secure high-speed interconnects.
Acceleration of EV Production and On-Board Chargers
Automotive semiconductor demand is increasing as electric-powertrain penetration climbs. Silicon-carbide and gallium-nitride diodes deliver lower switching losses for traction inverters and 800 V chargers; onsemi's EliteSiC platform has been adopted by Volkswagen for next-generation EVs.Infineon's CoolSiC 1200 V MOSFETs allow DC-DC stages to operate beyond 900 V without extra insulation, raising power density while trimming system cost.
Raw-Material Price Volatility (Si, GaAs, GaN)
China provides most primary gallium feedstock, and any export curbs rapidly elevate wafer costs for GaAs and GaN devices. Only 20% of global e-waste is properly recycled, causing critical-metal losses that tighten supply and raise pricing swings. SiC wafer yields remain volatile, contingent on manufacturing maturity and substrate quality.

Segment Analysis
Laser diodes generated the largest diode market size at USD 6.48 billion in 2025 and are positioned for an 8.25% CAGR, propelled by automotive front-lighting, LiDAR sensing, and high-speed fiber communications. Rectifier and Schottky devices continue to secure power-conversion sockets, though their mid-single-digit growth trails laser adoption.
Industrial cutting, projectors, and 3D printing sustain multimode laser-diode volumes, while medical-grade lasers require tighter wavelength stability that lifts average selling prices. In server power supplies, Infineon's GaN transistors integrate a Schottky diode that curbs dead-time losses and elevates efficiency, showcasing cross-category partnerships.
The Diode Market Report is Segmented by Product Type (Schottky Diodes, Zener Diodes, and More), End-User Industry (Communications, Consumer Electronics, Automotive, Defense and Aerospace, Computer and Peripherals, and More, Mounting-Package (Through-Hole, Surface-Mount, and More), and Geography (North America, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa). The Market Forecasts are Provided in Terms of Value (USD).
Geography Analysis
Asia-Pacific held 58.30% of global revenue in 2025, and continues at a 6.45% CAGR through 2031 on the back of integrated supply chains in China, Japan, and South Korea. China absorbed a significant share of world chip sales in 2023, buoyed by government incentives and domestic smartphone exports. Indonesia courts foreign investors with 98 silica-sand mining licenses and tax holidays, aiming to localize substrate production.
North America's share is set to rise by 2030 as the CHIPS Act grants unlock USD 540 billion of private fab commitments, including onsemi's new 8-inch SiC line in Texas. Canada supports GaN epi-wafer startups through Clean-Tech credits, seeking to anchor value-add processes. Mexico's EMS clusters extend tariff-free access to the U.S. vehicle supply chain, stimulating rectifier and transient-voltage-suppressor assembly.
Europe targets more than 20% global production share by 2030, though audit findings warn of schedule risk given permitting delays and skilled-labor gaps. Nexperia's USD 200 million Hamburg investment broadens European SiC capacity, while Poland secures Intel's post-fab testing center that creates 2,000 roles. The Middle East and Africa remain nascent but see pilot solar-inverter fabs in the UAE that specify 1200 V SiC diodes.
