The Role of SiC in the Modern Drivetrain
Traction modules are the heart of an electric vehicle’s power electronics, responsible for converting DC battery power into AC motor drive. Unlike traditional silicon-based devices, SiC modules offer significantly lower switching losses, higher thermal conductivity, and the ability to operate at higher switching frequencies.
These technical advantages translate directly into consumer benefits:
- Extended Range: Efficiency gains of up to 7% compared to traditional silicon (Si) IGBTs.
- Ultra-Fast Charging: Seamless support for 800V and 900V+ high-voltage platforms.
- Reduced Weight: Smaller cooling systems and compact module packaging allow for lighter, more aerodynamic vehicle designs.
Market Segmentation and Key Drivers
The forecast period 2026–2036 highlights a market increasingly defined by technical specialization and vertical integration.
By Module Type and Voltage Class
- Half-Bridge and Full-Bridge Modules: These account for approximately 48% of the market share, favored for their balance of cost-effectiveness and performance.
- High-Voltage Dominance: Modules rated between 600V and 1200V currently hold the largest share. However, the >1200V segment is expected to witness the highest CAGR as heavy-duty EVs and long-range passenger cars adopt higher voltage rails for faster energy conversion.
By End-Use Application
- Passenger EVs: This segment remains the primary revenue generator, commanding 60% of the market share.
- Commercial and Off-Highway Vehicles: Electric buses, trucks, and industrial machinery are emerging as high-growth areas, requiring robust thermal management and high-power density designs.
Regional Outlook: Asia-Pacific Maintains Leadership
The Asia-Pacific region, led by China, Japan, and South Korea, continues to dominate the global landscape with a projected CAGR of 22.3% in the automotive SiC component sector. China’s leadership is reinforced by its massive domestic EV production and a rapid transition to 800V powertrains.
In the United States, the market is growing at a 14.7% CAGR, bolstered by federal manufacturing incentives (such as the CHIPS Act) and a shift toward domesticating the semiconductor supply chain. Europe maintains a strong position, with German automakers integrating SiC modules into premium EV architectures through rigorous engineering standards.
Strategic Industry Shifts
To mitigate risks associated with raw material costs and wafer shortages, the industry is witnessing a trend of vertical integration. Leading manufacturers—including onsemi, STMicroelectronics, Infineon, Wolfspeed, and BYD Semiconductor—are investing heavily in in-house crystal growth and 200mm (8-inch) wafer transition to improve yields and reduce per-die costs.
The SiC traction module is no longer a discretionary technology choice, the report concludes. It is now the primary enabler for automakers looking to standardize high-voltage architectures and meet strict global emission protocols.
