SiC Wafer Price Trends and 2026 Outlook

The SiC power semiconductor market in 2024 saw slower-than-expected demand growth, prompting some manufacturers to revise production plans. This "plateau" situation directly impacts a wide range of decisions, from cost calculations for device design to the reassessment of procurement strategies, raising questions about wafer price movements. To discuss the outlook for 2026, we must first consider

Navigating SiC Wafer Procurement Risks

As the adoption of SiC (Silicon Carbide) power semiconductors accelerates, securing a stable supply of wafers is increasingly becoming the biggest bottleneck after design completion, as even the most advanced devices selected during the design phase cannot be mass-produced without available wafers; therefore, to manage supply chain risks, it is crucial to structurally understand "how and where bottlenecks occur in each process.
