In order to gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research phase. CEOs, VPs of Manufacturing, heads of wafer fabrication, and business development directors from silicon carbide substrate producers, epitaxy service providers, and power semiconductor OEMs were examples of supply-side sources. Demand-side sources comprised chief engineers from automobile OEMs, renewable energy system integrators, defense procurement officers, and sourcing managers from EV charging infrastructure developers, solar inverter makers, and industrial power electronics firms. Market segmentation, capacity expansion schedules, and information on technology adoption curves, pricing volatility, and supply chain localization tactics were all corroborated by primary research.
