Planned 8-inch silicon carbide wafer fabs worldwide reach 14
What happened
TrendForce reports that 14 planned 8-inch silicon carbide wafer fabs are progressing globally, with investments from major companies gradually becoming operational. This expansion is driven by the transition from 6-inch to 8-inch wafers to improve production efficiency and reduce costs. Bearish: The significant increase in planned SiC wafer capacity is expected to alleviate supply constraints and exert downward pressure on future prices.
