The global ceramic capacitor market is projected to reach USD 15.88 billion by 2025, while actuating a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period. Increasing demand for solid state devices, advancements in material processing technology, and rising demand for consumer electronics are the factors driving the market growth. In addition, growing adoption of smartphones and tablets is further anticipated to augment the demand of the market. Besides, emergence of multilayer ceramic capacitor is projected to create a greater demand for ceramic capacitor over the forecast period. Also, the ongoing research and development activities to enhance the capacitive volumetric efficiency are estimated to increase the demand for ceramic capacitor market during the forecast period. However, ceramic capacitors are prone to physical damage which may impede the market growth to some extent.
Capacitor is a charge storage electronic component, and is deployed for offering high packaging densities for PCB mounting. Ceramic capacitors have made enormous stride in increased capacitance capability by utilising thinner dielectric layers (increasing the capacitance per layer). They are efficient at very low voltages, and can operate at very high ripple currents. Moreover, they offer various advantages including high stability, variable sizes, high capacitance, and low losses. The advent of multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is witnessing a robust growth in many applications including electric vehicles and power electronics, and is expected to fuel the demand for ceramic capacitor over the forecast period.
Increasing demand for ceramic capacitor in automotive industry
The ceramic capacitors have wide range of applications in many end-use verticals including aerospace and defence, energy and power, healthcare, automotive, consumer electronics, and telecommunication among others, owing to their robust and reliable design with high stability. They are particularly fostering the automotive industry where improved reliability is essential. Growing demand for the electric vehicles, along with advanced electronic features is also expected to augment the demand for ceramic capacitor during 2019-2025. In addition, the technological advancements have resulted in the emergence of multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC), which enables the electronic devices to control and distribute the amount of current flowing through the circuit, while removing noise and preventing malfunctioning.
