The global Silicon Carbide Wafers and Substrates market was valued at 1112 million in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 3070 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 16.0% during the forecast period.
Silicon carbide is an inorganic substance with the chemical formula SiC. It is made of raw materials such as quartz sand, petroleum coke (or coal coke), and sawdust (salt is needed to produce green silicon carbide) through high-temperature smelting in a resistance furnace. Silicon carbide is a semiconductor that exists in nature in the form of the extremely rare mineral moissanite. Since 1893, it has been mass-produced as powder and crystals for use as abrasives, etc. Among non-oxide high-tech refractory raw materials such as C, N, and B, silicon carbide is the most widely used and economical one, which can be called diamond sand or refractory sand.
Wafer refers to the cutting, grinding, and polishing of crystals along a specific crystal direction to obtain a clean single wafer with specific crystal planes and appropriate electrical, optical, and mechanical properties for growing epitaxial layers. Silicon carbide wafer is the core material of the newly developed wide bandgap semiconductor. The devices made with it have the characteristics of high temperature resistance, high voltage resistance, high frequency, high power, and radiation resistance. It has the advantages of fast switching speed and high efficiency, which can greatly reduce product power consumption, improve energy conversion efficiency, and reduce product volume. According to different electrical properties, silicon carbide wafer can be divided into two categories: semi-insulating silicon carbide wafer and conductive silicon carbide wafer. These two types of wafer are clearly used to manufacture discrete devices such as power devices and radio frequency devices after epitaxial growth.
Â
At present, 6-inch SiC wafer still occupy the mainstream market, but 8-inch wafer are gradually penetrating. Compared with 6-inch wafer, the cost of 8-inch SiC wafer can be reduced by about 35%, and more wafers can be cut out with less edge waste, which greatly improves the effective utilization of materials. Therefore, domestic and foreign manufacturers are accelerating research and development, expanding production, and entering the 8-inch silicon carbide market.

From the perspective of the global silicon carbide wafer material market, Wolfspeed, Coherent, Rohm, etc. still occupy a dominant position in the industry. However, in recent years, my country's silicon carbide material market has also been very hot. Wafer manufacturers such as CETC, TankeBlue, SICC, Hebei Synlight Crystal, and Sanan Optoelectronics have all achieved mass production. From the perspective of the terminal market, the demand for silicon carbide remains strong, whether in automobiles, photovoltaics, or industry. As the first car company in the industry to apply silicon carbide on a large scale, Tesla's Model 3 and Model Y models are selling well. In 2023, the penetration rate of silicon carbide in the field of pure electric passenger vehicles will be 25%, of which Model 3 and Model Y will contribute 60% to 70%. At the same time, driven by new car-making forces at home and abroad, the market structure of silicon carbide is gradually becoming diversified. In 2023, there will be a number of standard silicon carbide models in the price range of 200,000 to 250,000 yuan, such as Xiaopeng G6, Zeekr X, and Zhiji LS6. The high-performance strategy of new car companies is accelerating the market penetration of silicon carbide. In the future, all models with a price of more than 200,000 yuan may be equipped with silicon carbide devices as standard. Not only new energy vehicles, but also charging piles, photovoltaics, and industrial markets have great potential demand for silicon carbide. Wind, solar, storage, and industrial demand are also gradually increasing the application of silicon carbide devices and modules to cope with high-frequency, small-volume, and energy-saving scenarios, and the application scale is also considerable.
