U.S. companies Wolfspeed, Coherent, and ON Semi lead the global market for SiC chemicals, using CHIPS Act and DOE contracts to increase production. While Japan (ROHM, Toshiba) is the leader in high-purity SiC wafers, European companies (STMicro, Infineon) concentrate on automotive and industrial SiC solutions. China's SICC Materials and South Korea's SK Siltron are expanding through government-supported semiconductor regulations. With their green chemistry projects, Malaysia's MAM and India's AGS Tech are rising to prominence. Important tactics include partnerships (Infineon-Resonac), vertical integration (Wolfspeed's $5.5 billion fab expansion), and research and development in SiC recycling (STMicro's $101 million EU initiative).
