The increasing demand for electric vehicles is expected to propel the growth of the silicon carbide semiconductor device market going forward. An electric vehicle refers to a motorized vehicle that works on electricity from a battery and that can be externally charged. Silicon carbide semiconductor devices are beneficial in electric vehicle (EV) powertrains as they provide higher power densities and switching efficiency; as a result, increasing demand for electric vehicles increases the demand for silicon carbide semiconductor devices. For instance, in 2024, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, sales of electric cars in 2023 were 3.5 million higher than in 2022, a 35% year-on-year increase. Furthermore, according to the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, there would be more than 300 million electric cars on the road by 2030, with 60% of all new car sales. Therefore, the increase in demand for electric vehicles drives the silicon carbide semiconductor device industry.

Global Silicon Carbide Semiconductor Device Market Trends and Insights

Major companies operating in the silicon carbide semiconductor devices market are developing new silicon carbide-based devices with reduced switching losses to gain a competitive edge in the market. Switching losses refers to the energy losses that occur during the transition of a semiconductor device between its on-state (conducting) and off-state (non-conducting) conditions. For instance, in August 2023, Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation, a Japan-based electronics company, launched its third-generation silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs with the introduction of the TWxxxZxxxC series. These devices, designed with industrial applications in mind, aim to minimize losses in various settings, including 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 with a fourth pin, introducing a Kelvin connection for the gate drive signal source terminal. This innovation reduces parasitic inductance effects, enhancing high-speed switching performance. The series comprises devices with 650V and 1200V VDSS ratings, ensuring low losses even in high-frequency applications. With a capacity for continuous drain currents of up to 100A, these SiC MOSFETs represent a significant advancement in power electronics technology for industrial applications.
