As a result, the growing demand for premium vehicles is fueling the expansion of the automotive power discrete market.

Major companies in the automotive power discrete market are focusing on developing innovative solutions such as silicon-carbide (SiC) MOSFETs to enhance power conversion efficiency, thermal management, and compactness in electric vehicle systems. A silicon-carbide MOSFET uses SiC semiconductor material instead of traditional silicon, offering lower switching losses, higher breakdown voltage, and superior thermal conductivity, which enables smaller, lighter, and more efficient power modules for EV powertrains and chargers. For example, in April 2025, Infineon Technologies AG, a Germany-based semiconductor manufacturer, introduced the CoolSiC MOSFET 750 V G2 series designed for automotive applications. The product features ultra-low on-resistance, strong gate-voltage robustness, and top-side cooling for improved thermal performance, delivering significant efficiency gains for on-board chargers, DC-DC converters, and traction inverters in electric vehicles. The series is AEC-Q101 qualified, ensuring compliance with strict automotive reliability and durability standards. It also supports higher switching frequencies, allowing designers to minimize passive component sizes and achieve more compact, efficient EV power systems.

In January 2025, ON Semiconductor Corporation, a U.S.-based provider of intelligent power and sensing technologies for automotive, industrial, and infrastructure applications, acquired the Silicon Carbide (SiC) JFET technology portfolio of Qorvo, Inc., including its subsidiary UnitedSiC, Inc., for $115 million in cash. Through this acquisition, ON Semiconductor aims to strengthen its capabilities in high-voltage and high-efficiency power semiconductors, supporting its expansion into markets such as electric vehicles, industrial power, and AI data centers.
