To improve silicon carbide (SiC) technology applications, market players are investing in several R&D expeditions while simultaneously improving portfolios. In March 2022 Microchip Technology came up with improved SiC portfolio with new features. Silicon carbide (SiC) is highly integral for power semiconductor development used in power electronics which in turn is gaining ample momentum with new developments in electric automobiles. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) electric car sales hit 3 million in 2020 which is 40% higher than in 2019. Silicon-carbide (SiC) ceramics are used to design high-end semiconductors and traction inverters that help in maintaining fuel economy and light-weight built of vehicles. Additionally, silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics is also vital for making third generation semiconductor material that are used for making chips for integrated circuits (IC). In 2020, integrated circuits made one of the most highly traded products with overall trade value of roughly USD 670 billion. These factors are expected to aid in growth achievement for the global silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics market.

Silicon carbide is widely used in the electronics industry to make semiconductors. Hence, growing adoption of semiconductors is anticipated to influence the market growth. It was observed that, in 2020, semiconductor shipments accounted to over 1.5 trillion units, which is approximately 14 percent jump from the figure recorded in 2020.  The desirability for SiC ceramics among the end-users comes from its composition that makes it the hardest and strongest material, as well as a low-density compound. These ceramics are produced in extremely high temperature, which is why such properties of the compound can be attained. Industries, such as aerospace, automotive, chemical, and energy among others, recognize some of the most desirable properties, such as low thermal expansion, high strength, and chemical inertness, for the production of their products. Rising disposable income per capita among the global population is positively influencing the sales of automotive vehicles across the globe, which is resulting into expansion of automotive industry, where silicon carbide is used as a lightweight material. According to the data by The World Bank, in 2020, global disposable income per capita was USD 8784.

Regionally, the global silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa. The market in the Asia Pacific region witnessed significant growth in the year 2020 and is estimated to grow at a moderate CAGR over the forecast period. This growth can be accredited to the presence of numerous manufacturing units associated with the manufacturing of SiC ceramics such as glass and glassware, aerospace and defense, machinery manufacturing among others that are operating in this region. As per the data from International Trade Center, China is the largest exporter of glass and glassware in the world. The export accounted to USD 15,609,987 thousands in year 2016 to USD 18,344,638 thousands in the year 2020.

On the other hand, the North America region is expected to attain a significant share during the forecast period in silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics market owing to growing production of vehicles, and for the availability of significant numbers of employee in the automotive sector. The United States produced approximately 9 million vehicles in 2020. About 924,000 Americans work in motor vehicles and parts manufacturing, and nearly 1,251,700 are employed by automobile dealers. As SiC is used widely in automotive sector, these factors are predicted to boost the demand for silicon carbide in the projected years and fuel the market growth in the North America region.
