According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global High-purity Silicon Carbide Powder for Wafer market size was valued at US$ 144 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 403 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 16.0% during review period.
High-purity silicon carbide (SiC) powder for wafer manufacturing is a purified, size-classified SiC feedstock engineered for physical vapor transport (PVT) growth of single-crystal SiC boules. Compared with general abrasive-grade SiC, it specifies ultra-low metallic and oxygen impurities, controlled free-Si/free-C, and an optimized particle-size distribution and packing behavior that stabilize sublimation/recrystallization and increase source utilization in the PVT hot zone.
The key raw materials include carbon powder (graphite), silicon powder, high-purity quartz / silica, chlorosilane precursor, hydrogen. Downstream applications are mainly used in the production of wafers of different sizes, such as 4-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch.
In 2024, global sales of high-purity silicon carbide powder for wafer reached approximately 648 tons, with an average global market price of around US$ 185/ton. Production capacity varies significantly among manufacturers, with gross profit margins ranging from approximately 20% to 40%.
SiC (silicon carbide) is a compound semiconductor composed of silicon and carbide. SiC provides a number of advantages over silicon, including 10x the breakdown electric field strength, 3x the band gap, and enabling a wider range of p- and n-type control required for device construction. The result is breakthrough performance, not possible with silicon, making it the most viable successor for next-generation power devices.
As demand for electric vehicles (EVs) continues to grow, manufacturers are comparing two semiconductor technologies, silicon carbide and silicon, for power electronics applications. Silicon carbide (SiC) provides the high temperature resistance, low power consumption, rigidity, and support for smaller, thinner designs that EV power electronics need. Examples of SiC’s current applications include on-board DC/DC converters, off-board DC fast chargers, on-board battery chargers, EV powertrains, and automotive lighting for LEDs.
According to Automotive World, SiC technology could also drive future EV innovations as battery and motor manufacturers reach the physical limits of existing technologies and need to develop more efficient drivetrains.
Fast demand from downstream industries stimulates the SiC related industries, including the upstream and downstream industries. High purity silicon carbide powder for wafer industry will benefit from this and keeps fast growth in the coming years.
