The silicon carbide is a semiconductor material made of silicon and carbon used to create high-voltage devices such as electrical vehicles, power supplies, motor control circuits, and inverters. The key factor that will eventually grow the deployment of silicon carbide devices in EVs is the increasing demand for power electronics.

In addition, there is a growing demand for renewable energy systems with increasing initiatives and investments in silicon carbide for semiconductor devices. For instance, The United States Department of Energy, an advanced research projects agency energy has announced huge funding of US$ 30 million for 21 projects as part of creating new innovative and reliable circuits using semiconductors. Also, the competition in the electric vehicle in the automobile industry will help to provide certain advantages to silicon carbide-based devices.

However, the high efficacy of the alternative technologies for power electronics and the high cost of silicon carbide devices will affect the market growth. Furthermore, the market growth of silicon carbide for semiconductor devices has registered significant growth in the automotive industry. Advancements such as industrial automation and robotics provides  huge opportunities for the silicon carbide for the semiconductor devices industry.

Silicon Carbide Market Key Developments:

Silicon Carbide Market Dynamics

As industrial automation and robotics depend on high-performance electronic components, they are important market drivers for silicon carbide (SiC). SiC is superior to conventional silicon-based devices in several ways, including better power density, quicker switching rates, and increased efficiency in industrial automation and robotics applications.

Furthermore, strong performance and dependability are required from electronic components in industrial applications due to their harsh conditions. SiC is ideally suited for use in industrial automation and robotics applications due to its resistance to high temperatures, voltage spikes, and demanding working conditions. Automation technologies are being used by companies more and more to increase productivity and reduce operational costs for industries. In response to the growing need for clean technology, several companies are venturing into the SiC power semiconductor sector.

For instance, the State University of New York Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly) spin-off NoMIS Power Group stated in April 2021 that it intends to design, produce, and market SiC power semiconductor devices, modules, and services for offering assistance to power management product developers.
