The automotive industry is transforming significantly with the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and smart automotive technologies. Silicon wafers are instrumental in producing semiconductor components that power EVs, including electric drivetrains, battery management systems, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). As automakers increasingly embrace connectivity, autonomy, and electrification, the demand for silicon wafers is set to surge.
Adopting silicon carbide (SiC) wafers in power electronics for EVs is a notable example, as SiC offers superior electrical properties, enabling more efficient and compact power devices. The deployment of 5G networks has ushered in a new era of connectivity characterized by faster data speeds, lower latency, and increased network capacity. Silicon wafers are crucial in producing semiconductor components for 5G infrastructure, including high-frequency radio frequency (RF) devices, beamforming modules, and base stations.
As per the International Trade Administration, Mexico City is the world’s fifth most populous city, with 21 million people and 33.4 million vehicles. In 2018, Mexico recorded a 68 percent increase in EV sales, and hybrid vehicle sales surpassed 17,800 units compared to 2017. 955,393 electric and hybrid vehicles were sold in 2019 from January through September. Expansion of electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Mexico. Hence, the factors mentioned above will drive the regional market growth.
