Capacitor Market Size and Growth Rate From 2023 To 2032

The complexity and variety of electronic devices being used and rising consumer demand for premium brands in newly developing business sectors will drive the capacitor market expansion.

Market Dynamics:

Market Driver:

Increasing demand for capacitors in the medical industry

Electronics are being used in increasingly medical-related applications, ranging from colossal imaging equipment to smart tags for surgical packs. In diagnostic, imaging, patient monitoring, medication administration, and dispensing applications, passive components play a significant role in medical systems. Implantable medical electronic devices are frequently powered by batteries or capacitors that, due to their non-biodegradable nature, must be removed from the body after performing their intended function.

Implantable medical equipment, including pacemakers, insulin pumps, defibrillators, and portable & wearable electronics, all use capacitors. Electrocardiograms, ultrasonic echo devices, and blood gas analyzers are other examples. High reliability, a longer service life, and passing rigorous screening tests are requirements. Today, meeting consumer demand frequently entails shrinking and improving capacitor design and material. Therefore, it is anticipated that the worldwide capacitor market will rise during the forecast period due to the increased use of such components and goods in the medical sector.

Market Restraint:

Insufficient energy density of some capacitors

The market has a decent supply of raw materials, different connections & constructions are freely accessible, and the manufacturing process is highly mechanized. For instance, more energy storage may prevent the growth of the capacitor industry from slowing down due to the product's poor energy capacity. These capacitors will not operate at their intended capacity if improperly fitted, resulting in internal gas pressure and an explosion. The market size can decrease as a result of these drawbacks. 

Market Opportunity:

Increasing need for capacitors in industrial and automotive applications

The product's introduction in several automotive applications, including regenerative braking, power assistance, auto-start-stop, catalyst preheating, door locking systems, and electrical system stability, is anticipated to boost demand for these capacitors globally. These capacitors have increased battery capacity, allowing automakers to produce lighter, more fuel-efficient, longer-lasting, and lower carbon dioxide-emitting vehicles. To comply with strict emissions rules worldwide, a lithium-ion capacitor, for instance, is anticipated to enter all vehicle types more quickly, including conventional, hybrid, and electric vehicles.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic and its spread to multiple nations stopped industrial sector manufacturing, consequently impeding capacitor production. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, obtaining raw materials was extremely difficult. Government-funded transmission and distribution projects were hampered because of the cessation of several governments' financial streams. As a result, the demand for capacitors declined. The government-funded transmission and distribution projects may continue as soon as feasible as the economies of many nations start to improve, which could enhance the need for capacitors.

Segments Insight: 

Type Insights: 

Aluminum capacitors are expected to dominate the market in the foreseeable future. For convenience, devices such as air conditioning, window wipers, motors for motorized windows, seats, and aluminum capacitors are used. Important safety and control systems like power steering, airbag controls, and braking systems also use these devices. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are also used in electric motor drives for applications like gasoline pumps and fans and in engine control units (ECU) for battery controls, gas- and diesel-engine controls, and electric motor drives. Film capacitors are also used in tire-pressure monitoring systems, and keyless entry systems as the global demand for film capacitors has increased in response to the rising popularity of electric, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Also, the need for safety features in vehicles is rising rapidly, owing to the use of technological systems in automobiles. 

Application Insights:

Due to the substantial use of capacitors in automotive systems, the automotive electronics segment is predicted to expand. The use of capacitors is growing as alternative propulsion vehicles become more widely adopted and electrical current and circuit control become more crucial. In the meantime, supercapacitors have undergone advancements that make them ideal for use in plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles (EVs), supplementing and, sometimes, replacing batteries.

Regional Insights: 

Due to the widespread use of capacitors in energy storage and uninterrupted power supply applications, North America surpassed all other regions as the largest regional market in 2022, with a market value of USD XX million. The manufacturing of electric vehicles has increased, and the development of ultra-small case-size capacitors for portable electronic devices has accelerated growth in North America. As an illustration, the adoption of electric vehicles has accelerated in various regions and nations due to rising fuel costs.

In place of gasoline and diesel engines, electric vehicles use lithium-ion batteries that provide a hybrid charging system. These automobiles are pollution-free and environmentally friendly; when in operation, they don't release any dangerous greenhouse gases. Compared to current costs, the lithium-ion cell cost is lower, making electric vehicles more accessible to consumers. In the foreseeable term, there will be a significant opportunity for greater adoption of these cars due to the falling cost of lithium-ion battery production. Thus, the demand for capacitors in electric vehicles is driving the expansion of the capacitor market.

Additionally, the European market is anticipated to show consistent expansion. High product penetration in Europe is a result of technology advancements and the existence of important industry players. Additionally, it is projected that the development of commercial space and the region's expanding construction market will increase demand for capacitors used in energy storage.
