The global silicon carbide market size estimated at USD 4.82 billion in 2025 and expected to reach USD 7.99 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 10.64% during the forecast period 2025-2030. Asia-Pacific currently leads the market, accounting for over half of global revenue in 2024, while also showing the fastest growth. The increasing use of silicon carbide in electric vehicles (EVs), renewable-energy inverters, and high-efficiency data centers is driving demand worldwide.
Emerging Trends in the Silicon Carbide Market
Rising Demand in Power Electronics Electric vehicle manufacturers are increasingly transitioning to 800 V drivetrains, requiring SiC MOSFETs capable of high-frequency switching. Products such as onsemi’s EliteSiC M3e and Infineon’s CoolSiC 1200 V devices are enabling EVs to operate with higher efficiency, reduced energy losses, and better thermal performance. Data centers are also benefiting from SiC rectifiers, which improve conversion efficiency up to 98%, helping reduce cooling costs by up to 40%.
Growth in Renewable Energy Applications Silicon carbide is increasingly used in solar and wind energy systems due to its ability to handle high temperatures and provide superior efficiency. For example, Fraunhofer ISE’s SiC transistors achieve 98.4% efficiency in solar inverters and reduce energy losses by 70% compared to traditional silicon devices. In wind turbines, SiC’s thermal conductivity enables operation at rotor temperatures of 200 °C without additional cooling
Use in High-Temperature and Aerospace Applications SiC ceramics are being adopted in extreme-temperature environments, such as NASA’s hypersonic testbeds and industrial furnaces, due to their strength retention at temperatures exceeding 1,600 °C. Petrochemical and chemical reactors also utilize SiC tubes for improved corrosion resistance and longer lifespans.
Government Support for Semiconductor Fabrication Government incentives play a significant role in silicon carbide market growth. The U.S. CHIPS Act allocated USD 750 million to Wolfspeed and USD 225 million to Bosch, supporting domestic wafer capacity expansion. In Europe, the Chips Act invested EUR 5 billion in STMicroelectronics’ fabrication plant in Italy, ensuring local supply security and encouraging adoption of wide-bandgap semiconductor technology.
