RESTRAINING FACTOR

"High Initial Costs of SiC Power Modules ""to Potentially Impede Market Growth"

SiC power modules have a high initial cost compared to their silicon-based counterpart which has restricted the growth of the market. Such SiC wafer and module manufacturing processes are of a very technological nature, with great investment in infrastructure as well as technology. Such a higher price may scare away small and medium-sized enterprises to opt for SiC technology, thus limiting the growth of such a market. Secondly, the risk involved in investing in new technology also scares companies away, especially in price-sensitive sectors. Hence, this impacts positively on the long-term efficiency and performance advantages that, in turn, impel the growth rate of the overall market; the initial cost barrier, however, slows down this growth.

OPPORTUNITY

"Growing Emphasis on Energy Efficiency and Sustainability To Create Opportunity for the Product in the Market"

A Growing focus on energy efficiency and sustainability is going to be a huge opportunity for the Sic Power Modules Market.
