The market for ultra high purity silicon carbide was worth USD 26.2 millions in 2019. It is projected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 14.8%) between 2020 and 2027. Market growth is expected to be driven by growing demand from the semiconductors sector in the next few years. High purity silicon carbide products have high thermal conductivity and low defect density. They also exhibit high resistance, high resistivity, uniform electric behavior, and high thermal conductivity. These properties are crucial to achieve the best performance in semiconductor devices. These products are effective in reducing impurities to achieve high performance. They are also used in areas where impurities may cause problems such as process contamination or uniformity.
In 2019, the U.S. held a volume share in the global market of 89.3% and is expected to continue growing at a rapid pace between 2020-2027. Due to increased focus on emerging technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence, the U.S. will likely maintain its market position. The U.S. market may face challenges in the near term due to the increasing cost of innovation, especially for designing and manufacturing semiconductors.
The recent market growth has been aided by the stability in the production of semiconductors. Stability has provided a stable base for manufacturing jobs and a source of overseas exports. The local semiconductor industry may face challenges if it expands its production outside of the United States. Six new production facilities outside the U.S. were opened in 2019, four of them in China.
The COVID-19 outbreak is expected to cause a slowdown in the market's growth. Market growth is expected to be slowed by a decline in demand for industrial electronics and automotive electronics in 2020. From 2019, the demand for consumer electronics is expected to drop by 2% to 15%.
Semiconductor was the largest segment and had a volume share in 2019 of 87.3%. When manufacturing semiconductors and next-generation power device, impurities can pose problems. Ultra-high purity silicon carbide is used to remove impurities in these applications. This improves the performance.
The ultra-high purity silicon caride has excellent properties such as strength, corrosion resistance, frequency and purity. This makes it ideal for next-generation power devices such as power converters of hybrid or electric cars, power Inverters for air conditioners and industrial equipment, high-voltage switches, DC/AC converts for wind and sun power, and thin-film coats.
The ultra-high purity silicon carbide products are compatible with new generation light-emitting devices (LEDs) because they have a low lattice mismatch and high thermal conductivity. Substrat material is also important in determining life, brightness, color and other performance indicators. Low levels of impurities are guaranteed during manufacturing LEDs.
Asia Pacific accounted for 48.0% of the total volume in 2019, owing to rising demand from the electronics and subsequent semiconductor industries. Among the top 10 global producers of semiconductors are South Korea, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China. Asia Pacific accounted for more than 45% of global semiconductor production.
Market growth will be aided by a positive trend in production of electronic components, consumer electronics, and industrial electronics in Asia. According to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the Indian electronics industry has grown from USD 24.24 trillion in 2014 to USD 76.6 billion in 2019.
North America was the second largest revenue share in 2019, after China. Vendors in North America are likely to see an increase in demand for power electronics. The power electronics products are lighter and smaller and are being increasingly preferred by end-user industries. Manufacturers are increasingly using power electronics products because of their ability to conserve energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Global market is a niche market with few manufacturers. The market has seen little development on both the supply and production sides in recent years. Pallidus, Inc. introduced M-SiC, an ultrapure silicon carbide product that can be used in silicon carbide power devices. This was done to capture new opportunities in aerospace, electric vehicles and the energy industries.
Bridgestone Corporation, a Japanese tire and rubber manufacturer, sold its ultra-high purity silicon caride component business in October 2018 to Maruwa Co., Ltd., a Japanese ceramics manufacturer for industrial and electronic applications. This business manufactures components for semiconductor production equipment. The following are some of the major players in global ultra high purity silicon caride market:
