Wolfspeed, the pioneering force in the silicon carbide semiconductor sector, stands on the precipice of bankruptcy amidst a debt crisis. Its market value has plummeted, and low capacity utilization has intensified cost pressures. Despite these challenges, Wolfspeed is projected to retain its top spot in the global market share for silicon carbide substrates by 2024. In parallel, Chinese manufacturers Tianke Heda and Tianyue Advanced are swiftly ascending, collaborating with international titans to dominate the 6-inch substrate market and advance 8-inch substrates to drive down costs. The silicon carbide industry is transitioning into a phase of capacity expansion and price wars, signifying a potential redistribution of market share.
