Market Dynamics:Driver: Expanding the use of connected technologies
The Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless communications are among the most important applications for SiC-based power electronics and inverters. With such an advanced product, these technologies merge into a single device or system. The confluence of these technologies has boosted potential for enterprises who manufacture such devices, resulting in the creation of a new ecosystem to earn higher revenue. The incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the product has also increased demand the most prevalent applications of machines which drive the growth of the market.
Restraint:To identify authorised technology partners
The main disadvantage of SiC-based inverter systems is the difficulty in locating authorised technical partners for installation and maintenance services. Many businesses must pay a neutral third-party outsourced party to build, programme, and plan out the logistics and manufacturing expenses for installation. This lengthens the installation process and raises the hidden costs for SiC-based devices. These are the primary reasons impeding market expansion.
Opportunity:Universal laws and standards
With the continual rise of sophisticated technologies, demand for SiC-based power electronics and inverter products is predicted to skyrocket. The considerable improvements undertaken in the establishment and execution of regulations and standards governing authorities are expected to aid growth. The newly introduced requirements and compliances will create new markets and demand for SiC-based modules, as manufacturers are likely to place larger orders. This will help developing technology manufacturers who are investing extensively in component manufacturing. With formalised criteria, these companies growth is projected to accelerate in the future years.
Threat:High manufacturing and maintenance costs
Because of the inclusion of multiple applications, the design, production, and application of SiC-based power electronics and inverters is difficult. Furthermore, depending on the level of customization, the total installation and programming procedures are frequently difficult for manufacturers which require high level of manufacturing processes as well as the maintenance cost would be high. This is one of the major barriers to the adoption of SiC-based products which hinders the growth of the market.
Covid-19 Impact
Since the implementation of COVID-19, the SiC-based power electronics and inverter industry has faced difficulty in maintaining economic effect across a wide range of industrial applications. Several industry sectors have been impacted by COVID-19's short-term market impact. Due to tensions among the main countries, the international manufacturing sector was already slow in 2019. The market is expected to shrink further as a result of the economic disruptions and impeded supply chain operations caused by COVID.
The power electronics segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
