The global SiC based power electronics & inverter market size is projected to reach USD 3,888.2 million by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 32.5% during the forecast period. According to a new report by Fortune Business Insights™, titled “SiC Based Power Electronics & Inverter Market, 2020-2027”, the market’s value stood at USD 446.3 million in 2019.

While the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has generated unprecedented challenges for the semiconductor and electronics industries, its impact has been minimal on the SiC based power electronics & inverter market growth. The principal reason for the insulated position of this market is the extensive utilization of electronic components and inverters in the automotive, consumer electronics, manufacturing, and healthcare industries amid the pandemic. As a result, the market soared at a 21.5% CAGR and touched a value of 542.2 million in 2020.

Increasing Electric Car Sales Worldwide to Accelerate Market Growth
The demand for electric cars has grown promisingly over the past few years and is expected to continue its trajectory in the forthcoming years. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), in 2019, the total electric car sales globally topped 2.1 million, indicating a 40% year-on-year increase. SiC based power electronics & inverter systems have emerged as an ideal alternative to the traditional silicon-based semiconductors commonly deployed in electric vehicles, primarily due to their high energy efficiency. For example, SiC semiconductors lose only 5% of energy as heat during the power conversion process, implying that they save 95% of the converted energy. Research is also being done to develop silicon carbide semiconductors. The University of Tokyo, for instance, has been collaborating with Mitsubishi Electric since 2017 to augment the reliability of SiC-based semiconductors. Together, these factors are bolstering the prospects of this market.

Asia Pacific Dominated the Market with Revenue Generation of USD 188.7 million in 2019
• Asia Pacific, which boasted a market size of USD 188.7 million in 2019, is expected to hold on to its commanding position during the forecast period owing to the strong semiconductor and electronics manufacturing infrastructure in East Asia, especially China, South Korea, and Taiwan.
