United States Radiation-Hardened Electronics Market

Market Overview:

The United States radiation-hardened electronics market exhibited moderate growth during 2015-2020. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to exhibit stable growth during 2021-2026. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic on different end use sectors. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.

Radiation-hardened electronics comprise electronic components, as well as products and packages that are utilized for high-altitude applications. These electronics are manufactured using silicon carbide, hydrogenated amorphous silicon and gallium nitride. They are resistant to damages caused by gamma and neutron radiation and ionizing and high-energy radiation emitted by nuclear reactors. Consequently, they are used in aircraft, satellites and nuclear power plants in the form of switching regulators, power supply devices and microprocessors.

The US military has developed integrated technology to create advanced weapons. These weapons rely on radiation-hardened electronics as an EMP blast or an electromagnetic discharge to wipe out all the electronics in that radius and increase the collateral damage. Besides this, the presence of defense and space research institutes across the country acts as another growth-inducing factor. However, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak and the subsequent lockdown restrictions imposed by the US Government have severely impacted the supply chains and disrupted the manufacturing operations. This has negatively affected the market growth, but it will witness normalcy once these restrictions are uplifted.
