“Surging Demand for SiC Power Devices in Renewable Energy Projects”
Driver
“Growing Use of SiC In Electric Vehicles and EV Infrastructure”
• India’s push toward electric mobility is accelerating demand for silicon carbide semiconductors, as EV manufacturers adopt SiC-based devices to improve energy efficiency, reduce heat loss, and extend battery range in both two-wheelers and four-wheelers
• High-power charging stations, especially those built along national highways and urban centers, are increasingly utilizing SiC-based converters and inverters to minimize charging time and energy consumption while ensuring long-term operational stability
• Supportive initiatives such as FAME II and state-level EV policies are encouraging the integration of SiC technology in public and private transport fleets, particularly in high-performance traction systems and fast-charging applications
• For instance, Indian electric scooter manufacturer Ather Energy is working toward deploying SiC components in its future models to enhance thermal performance and energy conversion, enabling longer rides and reduced energy losses in real-world conditions
• The rise of SiC in India’s EV ecosystem underlines its role as a performance-enhancing, cost-optimizing solution that supports national sustainability goals while helping OEMs stay competitive in the fast-growing electric mobility market
Restraint/Challenge
“High Fabrication Costs and Limited Domestic Manufacturing Capabilities”
• The cost-intensive nature of silicon carbide wafer fabrication, which requires specialized equipment, high-temperature processing, and defect-free crystal growth, presents a major challenge for Indian manufacturers looking to enter or expand in the SiC value chain
• Limited access to domestic fabrication facilities and skilled labor further compounds the problem, making Indian firms heavily dependent on imported substrates and devices from countries such as the U.S., Japan, and Germany, which affects cost and lead times
• Government initiatives to localize semiconductor production are still in early stages, and delays in land acquisition, policy rollout, or technology transfer agreements have stalled several prospective SiC manufacturing ventures across the country
• For instance, planned SiC fabrication plants in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu have encountered obstacles related to foreign direct investment approvals, environmental clearance, and supply chain readiness, slowing down indigenous development efforts
• These structural limitations are creating a bottleneck in India's ambition to become a self-reliant SiC hub, highlighting the urgent need for capital investment, R&D support, and ecosystem collaboration to reduce import dependence and scale domestic production
The market is segmented on the basis of product, device, wafer size, application, and end-use.
On the basis of product, the India silicon carbide (SiC) market is segmented into black and green. The black SiC segment held the largest market revenue share in 2024, driven by its widespread use in industrial applications such as grinding, cutting, and lapping due to its high hardness and cost-effectiveness. It is extensively utilized in abrasives, metallurgy, and refractory industries where performance under high-temperature conditions is critical. Its strong demand is further supported by steady consumption in infrastructure and steel manufacturing sectors.
The green SiC segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, fueled by increasing demand in high-purity applications. Green SiC is preferred in precision grinding and electronics due to its sharper edges and superior thermal conductivity. Its role in semiconductor processing and specialized ceramics is gaining traction, especially as India ramps up investment in electronics manufacturing.
On the basis of device, the market is segmented into SiC discrete, SiC bare die, and SiC module. The SiC discrete segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2024, owing to its robust adoption in power electronics and energy-efficient systems. These devices are widely deployed in inverters, converters, and motor drives across automotive and industrial settings where compact size and thermal performance are prioritized.
The SiC module segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, supported by its increasing application in electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. SiC modules offer integrated solutions that deliver enhanced efficiency and power density, making them attractive for high-voltage, high-current operations across critical sectors.
On the basis of wafer size, the market is segmented into 2-inch, 4-inch, and 6-inch. The 4-inch wafer segment dominated the market in 2024, driven by its balanced production efficiency and cost performance. It remains a standard size for many established fabrication lines in India, particularly in research, industrial electronics, and abrasives production.
The 6-inch wafer segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, as next-generation SiC fabs in India transition to larger wafer formats to meet demand for high-volume, cost-efficient production. This trend is being driven by the rapid expansion of SiC use in automotive powertrains, industrial automation, and energy storage systems.
On the basis of application, the market is segmented into metallurgy, abrasives, refractory, electrical and electronics, and others. The metallurgy segment held the largest revenue share in 2024, as SiC is extensively used as a deoxidizing agent and in the production of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. It plays a vital role in foundries and steel plants where high thermal resistance and chemical inertness are critical.
The electrical and electronics segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, supported by increasing demand for SiC-based power semiconductors in electric vehicles, power supplies, and smart grid applications. This growth is further accelerated by India’s electronics manufacturing push under the Make in India initiative.
On the basis of end-use, the market is segmented into automotive, aerospace, military and defense, heavy engineering, consumer electronics, healthcare, and others. The automotive segment dominated the market in 2024, driven by strong demand for SiC components in electric drivetrains, on-board chargers, and fast-charging infrastructure. Automakers are actively adopting SiC for its efficiency, lightweight nature, and thermal stability.
The aerospace segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, propelled by SiC’s growing role in high-temperature structural materials and advanced avionics. With rising investments in India’s defense and commercial aerospace industries, SiC is increasingly being explored for thermal shields, sensor housings, and propulsion applications.
