Global Silicon Carbide (SiC) In Semiconductor (Automotive, Defense, Computers, Consumer Electronics, ICT, Industrial, Medical, Power, Railways and Solar) Market - Forecast to 2020

DUBLIN, Sept. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Silicon Carbide (SiC) In Semiconductor (Automotive, Defense, Computers, Consumer Electronics, ICT, Industrial, Medical, Power, Railways and Solar) Market - Forecast to 2020" report to their offering.

A semiconductor device, is expected to operate in any harsh environment an industry can offer; however, this is not possible with a silicon based semiconductor device. A Silicon based semiconductor device is capable to operate at a temperature of 300°C, whereas the industry requires semiconductor devices, which can operate at much higher temperature, voltage, and frequencies. Such enhancement in the semiconductor device mainly depends on the properties required by devices. At this juncture, silicon based semiconductors have their own limitations, which can be overcome by using compound material for the development of semiconductor devices. Silicon carbide is a compound which can help to drastically improve these properties, which include operating at high temperature, voltage, and frequency.

The SiC based semiconductor market is expected to grow by 2020, at an estimated CAGR of 42.03% from 2014 to 2020. APAC has been estimated to account for the highest CAGR of 43.53% from 2014 to 2020 amongst all the geographic regions. It accounted for the largest market share of 36.41% for silicon carbide based semiconductor devices in terms of value in 2013. This is mainly due to the fact that there is huge development related to silicon carbide in China. It has been estimated that China accounts majority share of silicon carbide materials in terms of volume.
