Global Silicon Carbide Market – Overview

Silicon Carbide (SiC) also known as Carbrundum is a compound of silica and carbon. SiC in comparison with silicon offers outstanding power switching frequency, power rating, and performance. Attributing to its potential to deliver high power switching application in extreme environment, Silicon carbide widely used in semiconductor electronics devices that operate at high temperature or high voltage or both. This makes SiC highly preferable in end-use applications such as electronics and steel among others.

Moreover, SiC perceives a high demand from some of the burgeoning industries such as Aerospace & Aviation, Energy, Military & Defense, and most importantly from the Automotive and Healthcare sectors. The high uptake and augmented demand escalate the market of SiC on the global platform driving it pervasively.

Considering the rapid market expansion, & the growth potential the market holds, Market Research Future (MRFR) recently published an in-depth study report, giving out the complete market insights for the period 2017 – 2023. In its analysis MRFR asserts that the global Silicon Carbide market is forecasted to grow exponentially by 2023, registering a staggering CAGR during the review period.

Other factors substantiating the market growth include steady demand from the steel manufacturing and steel processing industries and its recycling units. Growing automotive industry across the globe plays a vital role in the growth of the market. Substitution of existing pure silicon technology is continually increasing, thereby strengthening global demand for silicon carbide and hence, its market growth.

On the other hand, high cost associated with devices made of silicon carbide, demand and supply gap of SiC due to the low manufacturing volume are some of the factors impeding the market growth. However, the growing electronics and semiconductor market witnessing a huge demand for SiC is likely to create a substantial revenue pocket in the global space.

Global Silicon Carbide Market – Competitive Analysis

The Silicon Carbide market Share appears to be competitive due to the presence of a good number of large and small players, churning the market competition. Growing product innovations and technologies are expected to generate strong investment opportunities for the players.

Industry/Innovation/Related News:

May 30, 2018 – Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE - Germany), announced the development and successful implementation of an inverter for direct feed-in to the 10 kV medium-voltage grid. The inverter containing high-voltage SiC (silicon carbide) transistors, allows coupling to the medium voltage grid without needing an additional transformer. The three-phase inverter can be used to regulate reactive power as well as to actively filter undesirable harmonics in the electricity grid, thereby, actively contributing to the stabilization of future power grids with a large share of renewables.
