2025 SiC Market Trends: Technological Breakthroughs, Price Wars, and Industry Restructuring

Silicon carbide (SiC), the core material of the third-generation semiconductors, has demonstrated immense application potential in fields such as new-energy vehicles, photovoltaic energy storage, and 5G communications, thanks to its high breakdown electric field strength, exceptional thermal conductivity, and superior temperature resistance. In 2024, China's SiC substrate and epitaxial wafer markets experienced dramatic price fluctuations alongside significant capacity expansion. Notably, the price of 6-inch SiC substrates has already approached cost parity, while breakthroughs in 8-inch technology are rapidly advancing. As market competition intensifies, the primary driver behind falling prices is the rapid growth in downstream demand, further fueled by increased competition among domestic suppliers, which is accelerating the downward trend.

The Transformation of the SiC Industry: The Dual Impact of Capacity Expansion and Price Wars

Over the past few years, with careful strategic planning, the SiC industry has ushered in a significant transformation in 2024. The rapid deployment of new production capacity, coupled with the remarkable improvement in performance of domestically produced SiC devices, has enabled automotive applications to gradually expand from peripheral components into core areas such as electric drives and power controls. While achieving greater self-reliance and control, SiC product prices have also begun to decline sharply. Market forecasts suggest that by 2025, the cost of integrating SiC into vehicles will continue to drop further, paving the way for SiC technology to be adopted more widely in affordable, mainstream models.

"Semiconductor New Insights": Semiconductor Manufacturing Sees No "Slow Season"—Domestic Wafer Foundries Expected to See Prices Bottom Out and Rebound

The semiconductor manufacturing industry, which has been grappling with declining capacity utilization and customers aggressively "bargaining," experienced an "unexpected" recovery during the traditionally slow first quarter of this year. Recently, a joint report released by the Semiconductor Equipment Materials International (SEMI) highlighted that, driven by rising sales in the electronics sector, stable inventory levels, and increased fab capacity, the global semiconductor manufacturing industry showed signs of improvement in the first quarter of 2024. The report also forecasts that industry growth will gain further momentum in the second half of the year. Notably, reporters from Securities Times·eCompany observed that several leading domestic wafer foundry firms have confirmed the industry’s rebound, attributing it to factors such as the recovery in consumer electronics demand and supply chain inventory preparations. As a result, these companies anticipate that wafer foundry prices may stabilize and begin to rebound, prompting them to ramp up production expansion efforts even further.
