SIC COATED GRAPHITE MARKET OVERVIEW

The SIC Coated Graphite Market is set to grow from USD 0.29 billion in 2025 to USD 0.31 billion in 2026, and is expected to achieve nearly USD 0.56 billion by 2034, advancing at a CAGR of 7.8% during 2025–2034.

SIC coated graphite is a product made using a unique Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process to cover the surface of highly pure isotropic graphite with a thin layer of silicon carbide. Excellent chemical, corrosion, and oxidation resistance are all characteristics of the silicon carbide layer. The silicon carbide layer is highly hard and stable at high temperatures. It prevents the discharge of gas and contaminants from the graphite substrate as well as the separating and scattering of graphite particles.

The silicon carbide layer and graphite substrate are both extremely pure materials. High thermal conductivity and efficient heat dispersion characteristics can be found in both the silicon carbide layer and the graphite substrate. The material is made to prevent cracking and delamination. The advantages of traditional SIC coating, such as their particular resistance to thermal, chemical, and mechanical stress, are combined with greater stability under thermoshock and cyclic loads in a SIC gradient coating. This is made possible by the graphite base material and SIC coating's interlocking structure.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Halt of Operations to Impede Growth

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted all areas of business and production. The lockdowns which were imposed halted production activities of SIC coated graphite. The major manufacturers and users of SIC coated graphite, North America, and the Asia Pacific suffered enormously due to COVID-19, whether in terms of the number of people infected or the regression of the economy. The supply chain was completely disrupted and exports and imports were harder to manage. This led to reduced usage of SIC coated graphite in other parts of the world as well. Industrial activities were halted in many parts of the world so the production levels had considerably reduced in many areas. Factories are one of the major consumers of SIC coated graphite. This reduced production level affected the SIC coated graphite market significantly.

LATEST TRENDS

Change in Lifestyle to Improve Growth

SIC coated graphite is used to make susceptors. These susceptors are used in the production of microwaves. The demand for microwaves is increasing rapidly. This is because now-a-days almost all the members of the family work. There is little or no time to do any cooking. People are shifting to readymade food, which can be quickly heated up in the microwave and be consumed. This is going to increase the demand for microwaves by households. As the demand for microwave ovens increases, the demand for susceptors will also increase. The major application of SIC coated graphite is susceptors. The market for SIC coated graphite is going to expand because of the same.

• According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), around 92% of American households use microwave ovens, marking a 12% increase since 2018. This growing household dependence on microwaves directly raises the need for high-performance SIC coated graphite susceptors, which are essential for heat-resistant components.

• As per the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA), demand for MOCVD equipment used in semiconductor fabrication grew by nearly 27% in 2024. This surge is expected to positively influence SIC coated graphite demand, as it is a primary material in MOCVD susceptors and heaters.

DRIVING FACTORS

Environmental-Friendliness of Microwaves to Increase Demand

The development of products with cutting-edge features is a key priority for market players in microwave ovens. As a result, they are allocating substantial sums of money for R&D projects. Additionally, a number of market businesses are focusing on producing microwave ovens that are both user- and environmentally friendly. According to a TMR evaluation, these initiatives are encouraging the market for microwave ovens to grow. People are more conscious of environmental protection now. As the demand for safe microwaves increases, the demand for SIC coated graphite will also increase.

• According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), energy-efficient household appliances saw a 38% rise in global adoption between 2020 and 2024. Microwave ovens featuring SIC coated graphite components contribute to improved heat efficiency and durability, strengthening the market demand.

• As per the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), global wafer fabrication capacity expanded by 19% in 2024 due to rising chip production. This expansion increases the consumption of SIC coated graphite susceptors used in epitaxial growth and single-crystal silicon manufacturing.

Healthy Cooking Alternatives Provided by Microwaves to Stimulate Demand

People are becoming more inclined to use multi-functional microwave ovens, which can aid in oil-free cooking, as a result of growing awareness of the negative effects of consuming fatty foods. In turn, this is generating lucrative opportunities for microwave oven producers all around the world. Given these consumer trends, numerous reputable foodservice establishments throughout the world are substituting multifunctional microwave ovens for their conventional ovens and pressure cookers. The market for microwave ovens worldwide is being driven by this factor. As the market for microwaves increases, the SIC coated graphite market size will also expand.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

North America to Dominate owing to Robust Industrial Development

North America is the biggest consumer of SIC coated graphite. The region has a high number of households that use microwaves. As industrial development further improves, the demand for SIC coated graphite will also increase. The Asia Pacific follows North America in terms of the consumption of SIC coated graphite. The Asia Pacific region has a huge number of manufacturing plants and factories that make SIC coated graphite. The growing population in this region will constitute a major part in the SIC coated graphite market share.

• According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), about 65% of consumers express safety concerns regarding microwaving food in plastic containers. This has led to a 9% decline in household microwave purchases, indirectly impacting the SIC coated graphite market.

• The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) reported that 18% of graphite component producers face raw material supply disruptions due to strict environmental regulations and limited silicon carbide availability, hindering consistent production levels.

Adverse Effects of Heating Plastic to Challenge Growth

Although we frequently microwave food in plastic wrap and containers, several scientists caution against doing so. These plastic additives can degrade and seep into food when heated. One of the most widely used plasticizers, phthalates are added to plastic to make it more flexible and are frequently found in takeout containers, plastic wrap, and water bottles. They have been discovered to interfere with our metabolic system and hormones. Phthalates can increase insulin resistance and blood pressure in kids, which can raise their risk of metabolic diseases including diabetes and hypertension. Asthma, ADHD, and problems with fertility have all been connected to exposure. Many people associate these harmful effects to be caused by microwave radiation. This is affecting the microwave market and subsequently the SIC coated graphite market.
