Due to its hardness and resistance to wear, silicon carbide is used to manufacture cutting tools, grinding wheels, and abrasive tools. The supply of raw resources, primarily silicon and carbonaceous materials, has a significant impact on the silicon carbide market. Variations in the pricing and accessibility of these raw materials might affect silicon carbide production costs, hence affecting market dynamics. The silicon carbide market is driven by several market drivers that collectively shape its structure and growth trajectory. The growing need for silicon carbide across a range of end-use industries, especially in the semiconductor and electronics sectors, is one important factor. However, process yield enhancements and novel wafering technologies ought to narrow the difference for leading producers in the next 10 years.
As more industries adopt technology like electrical components, renewable energy structures, and electric vehicles, silicon carbide is in great demand. A key component for these applications is silicon carbide. The automotive sector is the main force behind the silicon carbide market when it comes to producing electric and hybrid cars.Silicon carbide is going to be used more and more in power electronics as car manufacturing transitions to more electric and ecologically friendly vehicles. An important additional element influencing the market is the increasing use of silicon carbide in the aerospace and military industries.
Vertically integrated companies can potentially provide automotive OEMs higher value because of their increased supply assurance, especially considering current supply chain challenges. Like the silicon industry, wafer players are shielded from commoditization by vertical integration. The need for silicon carbide in the field of renewable energy is expected to increase, facilitating the rapid growth of solar power generation, as a result of the increased emphasis on renewable energy sources that are environmentally friendly on a global scale.
