AI data centre-driven power semiconductor market enters new phase as 8-inch SiC shift accelerates
Chinese power semiconductor companies that expanded market share with low-priced supply have begun raising prices, a shift expected to accelerate South Korean companies\' move to 8-inch (200 mm) silicon carbide wafers. Global leaders are also lifting prices as AI data centre demand spreads supply shortages to MLCCs and power semiconductors. Domestic firms are lining up GaN and SiC production plans. The industry faces complex SiC processes and yield challenges, while the government is upgrading public fab infrastructure in the south and planning integrated R&D.

Electronica Shanghai 2026: China speeds up localisation in semiconductors after electronic components
Electronica Shanghai 2026 drew 2,065 exhibitors, up 15.1 percent from a year earlier, and expanded floor space to 120,000 square metres. Chinese companies showcased new products across connectors, power semiconductors and sensors, areas long seen as dominated by global firms. The event highlighted moves toward system-level applications, from AI servers to EVs. Passive components in mainland China largely remain third-tier globally, leaving gaps in high-end technology.
