預計2024年碳化矽市場規模約16.72億美元,預計2029年將成長至48.63億美元,複合年成長率為23.80%。
全球碳化矽(SiC)市場預計將以更高的成長率成長,這主要是由於全球家用電子電器的需求不斷增加。按類型細分碳化矽市場,氮化矽結合碳化矽預計將佔據較高的市場佔有率。另一方面,從應用來看,半導體將獲得很大佔有率。從業界來看,由於碳化矽的廣泛應用,汽車和電子產業預計將快速成長。半導體市場需求的擴大預計將增加汽車、家用電器和 IT/通訊等多個行業的全球需求。同樣,對永續能源(即太陽能產業)的需求增加預計也將推動全球碳化矽市場的成長。
由純矽和碳製成的半導體材料稱為碳化矽。許多製造商正在積極開發用於資料中心、太陽能系統、電動車等的 SiC。所有這些以效率為導向的系統都會產生高電壓和高溫。儘管太陽能和電動車在碳化矽的使用方面處於領先地位,但全球範圍內用碳化矽替代替代材料以減少因高電壓電力效率低下而導致的碳排放的運動越來越大。
據估計,碳化矽市場成長的主要驅動力之一是半導體市場在多個產業的擴張。同樣,汽車產業的成長、太陽能電池產業需求的成長和效率的提高預計也將推動碳化矽市場的全球成長。
碳化矽半導體為電動車的進步和支持工業領域的數位化做出了重大貢獻,為電池和感測器的電力電子裝置的發展做出了貢獻。碳化矽半導體重量輕、強度高、效率高。在一些重要的應用中,碳化矽 (SiC) 半導體比傳統半導體更有效地處理電力。
根據半導體產業協會統計,2023年半導體產業總銷售額約5,268億美元。該協會進一步表示,2024年5月半導體產業總銷售額約491億美元,較2023年5月成長約19.3%。美洲銷量年增與前一年同期比較43.6%,其次是中國市場,成長24.2%。 Wolfspeed 是碳化矽技術的產業先驅,於 2022 年 4 月在紐約馬西正式推出了其最先進的莫霍克谷碳化矽製造工廠。這家新晶片製造工廠的正式開幕使紐約成為美國首屈一指的半導體製造地。隨著時間的推移,半導體市場的成長可能會導致對碳化矽的高需求。
SiC 在汽車行業越來越受歡迎,這需要卓越的品質、可靠性和效率。 SiC 擅長滿足高電壓要求。透過提高整個系統,特別是逆變器系統的效率,碳化矽有潛力延長電動車的續航里程。這是為了節省整個車輛的更多能源,並減少電池管理系統的尺寸和重量。例如,尖端半導體材料開發和製造的先驅Soitec(巴黎泛歐交易所)於2022年5月宣布推出首款200毫米碳化矽SmartSiC晶圓。透過此次公告,Soitec 將其 SiC 產品線擴展到 150mm 以上,並推進 SmartSiC 晶圓的研發,以滿足汽車行業不斷成長的需求。
近年來,全球汽車產量也大幅成長。國際汽車工業協會(OICA)在其全球汽車產量統計中表示,2021年汽車總產量約為80,004,000輛,2022年將增加至約84,830,000輛。 2023年汽車總產量較前一年大幅成長,達到約9,354.6萬輛。該集團表示,2021 年至 2023 年間,市場成長了約 17%。

同樣,該地區汽車工業的成長預計也將提振碳化矽的需求。亞太地區的印度、中國、台灣、日本和越南等國家是全球市場上最大的汽車製造商。此外,亞太地區多個國家的政府推出了多項計畫和獎勵,以增加區域汽車市場佔有率,從而推動碳化矽市場的發展。
The silicon carbide market is estimated to be around US$1.672 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow to US$4.863 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 23.80%.
The global silicon carbide (SiC) market is estimated to grow at a higher rate, majorly with the increase in the global demand for consumer electronics equipment. Under the type segment of the silicon carbide market, nitride-bonded silicon carbide is estimated to attain a higher market share. In contrast, the semiconductors category in the application segments will achieve a significant share. The automotive and electronics sector in the industry vertical will grow rapidly as the industry offers a higher application of silicon carbide. The growth of the semiconductor market demand is estimated to increase the global demand in multiple industries like automotive, consumer electronics, and IT & telecommunication. Similarly, the increasing demand for sustainable energy, or the solar energy sector, is also estimated to boost the global silicon carbide market's growth.
A semiconductor base material made of pure silicon and carbon is known as silicon carbide. Many manufacturers are aggressively developing SiC for use in data centers, solar energy systems, and electric vehicles, among other things. Each of these efficiency-focused systems produces high voltages and high temperatures. There is a major global drive to adopt SiC instead of alternative materials to cut carbon emissions brought on by power inefficiencies at higher voltages, even though solar energy and electric vehicles are leading the way in using SiC.
One of the major driving factors for the silicon carbide market's growth is estimated to be the expansion of the semiconductor market across multiple industries. Similarly, the growth of the automotive industry and the rising demand and efficiency of the solar industry are also expected to push the silicon carbide market growth globally.
A significant contribution to the electromobility breakthrough and support for digitalization in the industrial sector is made by silicon carbide semiconductors, which help advance the power electronics in batteries and sensors. They are made to be lightweight, strong, and very effective. In several crucial applications, silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors process electricity more effectively than conventional semiconductors.
According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, the total sales of the semiconductor industry were recorded at about US$526.8 billion in 2023. The association further stated that in May 2024, the semiconductors industry's total sales were about US$49.1 billion, an increase of about 19.3% compared to May 2023. The year-to-year sales in the Americas increased about 43.6%, followed by a 24.2% increase in the Chinese market. Wolfspeed, Inc., the industry pioneer in Silicon Carbide technology, formally launched its cutting-edge Mohawk Valley Silicon Carbide fabrication facility in Marcy, New York, in April 2022. By officially opening this new chip fabrication facility, they establish New York as the country's leading semiconductor production center. The semiconductor market's growth will eventually result in high demand for silicon carbide.
SiC has gained popularity in the automobile industry because of the need for superior quality, dependability, and efficiency. It is adept at meeting high-voltage requirements. By improving the efficiency of the entire system, particularly the inverter system, silicon carbide can potentially extend the range of electric vehicles. This is because it conserves more energy overall for the vehicle and reduces the size and weight of the battery management systems. For instance, a pioneer in developing and producing cutting-edge semiconductor materials, Soitec (Euronext Paris), showed its first 200mm silicon carbide SmartSiC wafer in May 2022. With the release, Soitec can expand its line of SiC products beyond 150mm, advance the research and development of its SmartSiC wafers, and meet the expanding needs of the automobile industry.
Automotive production worldwide has also witnessed a massive increase in the past few years. The International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), in its global production statistics of automotive, stated that in 2021, the total production of automobiles was recorded at about 80.004 million, which increased to about 84.830 million in 2022. The total automotive production in 2023 grew significantly from the past year, recorded at about 93.546 million. The organization stated that the market witnessed a growth of about 17% between 2021 and 2023.
