SiC Wafer Reclaim Services Market Size

SiC Wafer Reclaim Services Market size surpassed USD 650 million in 2021 and is expected to grow at more than 9% CAGR of during 2022 to 2030.
 

Growing higher-power requirements and a concurrent emphasis on efficiency is expected to boost the industry growth. Many semiconductor companies are looking to silicon carbide as the semiconductor material of the future due to its advantageous physical properties and its application in a wide range of semiconductors.
 

The accelerating adoption of advanced technologies such as AI, IoT, and ML across different sectors is opening up new prospects for SiC wafer reclamation service providers. Along with its application in industrial power supplies and photovoltaic converters, the advantages of SiC are most noticeably leveraged in the field of e-mobility. The growing product demand from the automotive industry in addition to increasing government support and initiatives is also driving the global SiC wafer reclaim services market share.
 

SiC Wafer Reclaim Services Market Trends

The growing need for silicon wafers from the consumer electronics sector is creating new business prospects for companies that provide SiC wafer reclaim services. In the expanding semiconductor industry, SiC wafers are increasingly used in electrical devices that operate at high voltages and high temperatures or both – like 5G communication systems and power electronics for electric vehicles (EVs).  It is extensively used in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and detectors in electronics. Mass wafer production is one of the main factors contributing to an increase in SiC yield loss. Reclaim service providers have been encouraged to develop innovative technologies and re-manufacture SiC wafers to fulfill rising consumer demands.
 

Increasing adaptability to substitutes may emerge as a major growth restraint

Escalating efforts to discover a substitute for silicon carbide in wafer manufacturing may constrain the long-term growth of the SiC wafer reclaim services market. Major automakers are attempting to replace SiC wafers with GaN (Gallium Nitride) based wafers for EV applications. The easy adaptability of GaN over SiC is swelling owing to its capacity to offer high power density and quick switching frequency.
 

SiC Wafer Reclaim Services Market Analysis

The increasing use of electronic components in consumer electronics, 5G technology, industrial automation, and automotive systems, is anticipated to help expand the above 10 inches SiC wafer reclaim services industry statistics. Manufacturers of electronic goods are more likely to incline towards adapting above 10 inches SiC wafers due to the benefits including high performance, energy efficiency, and low-cost integration. The above 10-inch segment is predicted to rise at around 10% growth rate through 2030.
 

The power devices segment is predicted to cross USD 700 million revenue by 2030. Rising demand for power devices in applications that operate on a wide range of frequencies and power levels has led to SiC wafer reclaim services market expansion.
