Silicon Carbide Semiconductor Device Market Drivers: What Is Fueling Demand Through 2030?
The silicon carbide semiconductor device market is anticipated to experience growth driven by the increasing demand for electric vehicles. An electric vehicle is defined as a motorized vehicle that operates on electricity from a battery and can be externally charged. Silicon carbide semiconductor devices offer advantages in electric vehicle (EV) powertrains by providing higher power densities and switching efficiency, thus, the escalating demand for electric vehicles directly boosts the demand for these devices. For example, in 2024, the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, reported that electric car sales in 2023 surpassed those in 2022 by 3.5 million, representing a 35% year-on-year increase. Furthermore, under the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, more than 300 million electric cars are projected to be on the road by 2030, making up 60% of all new car sales. Consequently, the rising demand for electric vehicles propels the silicon carbide semiconductor device market.

Which Trends Will Define The Silicon Carbide Semiconductor Device Market Through 2030?
Leading companies within the silicon carbide semiconductor devices market are engaged in developing novel silicon carbide-based devices that feature reduced switching losses to secure a competitive advantage. Switching losses refer to the energy dissipation that takes place as a semiconductor device transitions between its active (conducting) and inactive (non-conducting) states. For instance, in August 2023, Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation, an electronics company based in Japan, introduced its third-generation silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs through the release of the TWxxxZxxxC series. These components are specifically engineered for industrial applications, aiming to minimize losses in diverse environments such as servers, data centers, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, photovoltaic (PV) inverters, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Notably, the MOSFETs in this series are housed in a TO-247-4L(X) package which incorporates a fourth pin, enabling a Kelvin connection for the gate drive signal source terminal. This innovation serves to mitigate parasitic inductance effects, thereby enhancing high-speed switching performance. The series offers devices with 650V and 1200V VDSS ratings, guaranteeing low losses even in high-frequency operations. With the capacity to handle continuous drain currents up to 100A, these SiC MOSFETs represent a substantial advancement in power electronics technology for industrial applications.
