Global Semi-Insulating Silicon Carbide Wafer Market Size Study & Forecast, by Type (4 Inch SiC Wafer, 6 Inch SiC Wafer), by Application (Power Device, Electronics & Optoelectronics, Wireless Infrastructure, Others), and Regional Analysis, 2023-2030

Global Semi-Insulating Silicon Carbide Wafer Market is valued at approximately USD 438.05 million in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 19.1% over the forecast period 2023-2030. A Semi-insulating Silicon Carbide (SiC) wafer is a type of substrate utilized in the production of high-power and high-frequency electronic devices. SiC wafer is a semiconductor material formed with a combination of silicon and carbon. Semi-insulating SiC wafers have a resistance that ranges between a conductor and an insulator, in contrast to ordinary silicon wafers, which are conductive. They are mostly used in power devices, electronics & optoelectronics, wireless infrastructure, and others. The Semi-Insulating Silicon Carbide Wafer Market is expanding because of factors such as the surging demand for power electronic devices, rising focus on energy efficiency and the transition to clean energy solutions, and significant investments from both public and private sectors in SiC manufacturing capabilities.

In addition, the semi-insulating silicon carbide wafer market is expected to rise due to the rising use of SiC wafer in 5G communication networks and electric cars to supply high power, high voltage, and high-frequency devices. The India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) reported that approximately 10% of global car sales were electric in the year 2021, which shows a four-fold increase from the market share in 2019. With this, there are over 16.5 million electric vehicles on the road worldwide, which is three times more than there were in 2018. Accordingly, the growing initiatives for promoting the adoption of electric cars, coupled with the increasing benefits of using semi-insulating silicon carbide wafers in electric vehicles are positively influencing the market growth across the globe. Moreover, the increasing number of government initiatives to promote the adoption of advanced technologies and energy-efficient solutions., as well as the extensive research and development activities present various lucrative opportunities over the forecast years. However, the availability of substitutes and the complex manufacturing process are challenging the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
