Qualitative and quantitative insights were obtained by interviewing supply-side and demand-side stakeholders during the primary research process. The supply-side sources consisted of CEOs, VPs of Product Development, fab operations leaders, and commercial directors from SiC wafer foundries, device manufacturers, and epitaxy equipment OEMs. Demand-side sources included chief engineers, procurement leaders, power electronics system architects from EV manufacturers, renewable energy inverter companies, industrial motor drive producers, and telecommunications infrastructure providers. The primary research validated market segmentation, confirmed capacity expansion timelines, and collected insights on wafer supply dynamics, pricing strategies, and substitution patterns from silicon IGBTs.

Global market valuation was derived through revenue mapping and wafer consumption analysis. The methodology included:
Identification of 40+ key manufacturers across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Japan
Product mapping across SiC discrete devices (MOSFET, diode, module) and bare die devices by wafer size (2-inch, 4-inch, 6-inch & above)
Analysis of reported and modeled annual revenues specific to SiC power device portfolios
Coverage of manufacturers representing 75-80% of global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (wafer volume × die yield × ASP by application) and top-down (manufacturer revenue validation) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations
