The Market Reports

Synopsis
The global market for Silicon Carbide Wafer Grinder was estimated to be worth US$ 112 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 337 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 17.0% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
A silicon carbide wafer grinder is a special equipment used to grind SiC (silicon carbide) wafers. It is mainly driven by an electric or pneumatic motor to drive a rotating shaft, and the material is removed through the saw teeth on the cutting disc or with a cutting blade. During the grinding process, the SiC wafer grinder uses tools made of cemented carbide or superhard materials to perform high-speed rotational cutting on the surface of the workpiece, causing the blank to deform and lose its stability, and then separate from the whole. This equipment plays an important role in the production and processing of SiC wafers due to its high efficiency, accuracy and good adaptability to the hardness and corrosion resistance of SiC materials.
The global Silicon Carbide Wafer Grinders market is witnessing significant growth, driven by the increasing demand for semiconductors in various industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, and telecommunications. The Asia-Pacific region remains the largest consumer market, accounting for over 60% of the global market share. This trend is expected to continue due to the region's strong semiconductor industry, technological advancements, and growing demand for energy-efficient power devices.
The global key manufacturers of Silicon Carbide Wafer Grinder include Disco, TSD, etc. In 2024, the global top five players had a share approximately 82% in terms of revenue.
Among different types of Silicon Carbide Wafer Grinder, fully automated systems dominate the market, capturing approximately 77% of the total share in 2024. This reflects the industry's growing demand for precision, scalability, and high-efficiency production processes. Fully automated equipment provides improved throughput and minimizes the risk of human error, making it the preferred choice for manufacturers aiming to scale their operations and ensure high-quality output.
Interms of applications, wafers sized 6 inches and below are the primary demand drivers. These smaller wafers make up approximately 70% of the market in 2024. The widespread use of smaller wafers in power electronics and semiconductor devices, particularly in electric vehicles and renewable energy applications, supports this demand. As SiC continues to gain traction in the power semiconductor sector, the demand for wafer thinning equipment for smaller wafer sizes is expected to increase.
Market Driving Factors
Expansion of the Electric Vehicle (EV) Market: SiC materials are particularly suitable for use in power modules for electric vehicles (EVs) due to their superior thermal conductivity and high voltage tolerance. With the rapid growth of the electric vehicle market, the demand for SiC wafers is increasing, which in turn drives the demand for wafer thinning equipment.
Advances in Energy Conversion and Storage Technologies: In high-efficiency energy conversion and storage fields, such as solar inverters and battery management systems, the use of SiC materials can significantly improve efficiency. The market's demand for high-performance components has driven the production and thinning of SiC wafers.
Demand for 5G and High-Frequency Electronics: The demand for SiC materials is rising in 5G networks and other high-frequency electronic devices due to SiC's excellent performance in high-frequency and high-power applications. This has led to an increase in the demand for SiC wafer production and processing equipment.
Market Restraints
Process Complexity: The wafer thinning process for SiC wafers involves high-precision techniques and is technically challenging. The instability of the process may lead to quality issues, affecting market confidence.
Intensifying Competition: As the SiC market rapidly develops, more companies are entering the field, and market competition is becoming increasingly intense. This may lead to price wars and margin compression.
Technological Iteration: With the fast pace of technological updates, the introduction of new technologies and equipment may quickly render existing equipment obsolete. Companies need to continue investing in research and development to maintain competitiveness.
