SIC SEMICONDUCTOR POWER DEVICES MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global SiC Semiconductor Power Devices Market size was USD 13.00 billion in 2021 and the market is projected to touch USD 76.35 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 19.3% during the forecast period.

The compound semiconductor SiC, or silicon carbide, is made up of silicon and carbide. In power electronics, a power semiconductor device is a semiconductor that is employed as a switch or rectifier. This kind of gadget is also known as a power device, or power IC when it's utilized in an integrated circuit.

In order to minimize energy loss and extend the lifespan of solar and wind energy power converters, semiconductors also employ SiC. For instance, in order to improve efficiency, power density, and reliability, photovoltaic energy primarily needs semiconductor devices with high power, low loss, faster switching, and stability. In order to fulfill the growing energy demand, SiC devices offer a viable answer to photovoltaic energy requirements.  This factor has augmented the SiC Semiconductor Power Devices market growth.

COVID-19 Impact: Market Growth Obstructed by Pandemic due to Lockdown

The World-wide COVID-19 outbreak has been unparalelled and astonishing, with the market getting an exposure higher-than-predicted demand across all regions contrast to pre-pandemic levels. The drastic  market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Globally, the pandemic epidemic caused economic unrest in various sectors. The lockdown all over the globe imposed by governments to cease the virus's spread more as they damaged plenty of  industries and caused disruptions to supply chains and manufacturing operations worldwide. This is because a significant fragment of manufacturing involves labor on factory floors, where workers collaborate closely to increase productivity.
