[{"type":"text","content":"Silicon Carbide (SiC) market Silicon Carbide (Carborundum) Market Set to Surpass USD 11.24 Billion by 2036 as Power Electronics and Industrial Modernization Converge ROCKVILLE, MD, UNITED STATES, April 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The global Silicon Carbide (SiC) market, valued at USD 5.80 billion in 2025, is entering a transformative growth phase. New analysis from Fact.MR projects the industry will climb to USD 11.24 billion by 2036, expanding at a steady CAGR of 6.2%. This growth is no longer dictated by volume alone, but by a sophisticated grade-tier separation. As the transition to Electric Vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy accelerates, the demand for high-purity semiconductor-grade SiC is creating a high-margin specialty tier distinct from traditional abrasive and metallurgical applications.
