Ceramic Capacitor Market

Global Ceramic Capacitor Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Product Type (Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitor (MLCC), Ceramic Disc Capacitor, Feed through Ceramic Capacitor, and Ceramic Power Capacitor), and by Application (Automotive, IT & Telecommunications, Consumer Electronics, and Others) Forecast Period (2021-2027)

Published: Jan 2022 | Report Code: OMR2025524 | Category : Semiconductor Materials and Components | Delivery Format: /

The ceramic capacitor market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period. Rising demand and establishment of advance technologies such as AI, IoT, 5G connectivity and others, are expected to fuel the use of ceramic capacitor globally. In addition, the growing demand of 5G-enabled smartphones will further spur the use of electronic circuits. As the high-end smartphones are equipped with around 800 to 1,000 capacitors, the increase in number of components along with reduction in thickness of recent smartphones, there is a significant need for slimmer components. For instance, in 2019, Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. developed GRM011R60J104M, the world’s first multi-layer ceramic capacitor to feature a maximum capacitance of 0.1µF in 008004-inch size (0.25×0.125mm) and in 2021, Samsung Electro-Mechanics revealed that it has developed the 0.65mm ultra-slim 3-socket MLCC, which is 18% thinner than previous products, and began to make it available for global smartphone companies.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Ceramic Capacitor Market

The automotive industry had been impacted due to the outbreak of COVID-19. The automotive industry faced a sharp decline in demand and investment which had immensely reduced the demand for ceramic capacitors. According to a reports published by International Labour Organization in 2020, China is known as the world’s main provider of intermediate inputs for manufacturing companies abroad, the turn down in output and exports from China is having a straight impact on the automotive industry. Additionally, as a impact of COVID-19, in 2021, Murata Manufacturing Co. Ltd.  temporarily closed a plant in Japan that creates electronic component of smart phones, computers, and cars, among other products, to combat COVID-19.

Global Ceramic Capacitor Market Growth, by Region

The Asia-Pacific Region Is Anticipated to Hold the Major Share in The Ceramic Capacitor Market

China is expected to be the largest Ceramic Capacitor market. China is a large producer and a leader in electronic components and electronic ceramic products. China currently has the highest market contribution and large number of competitive manufacturing base. for instance, according to European Passive Components Institute in 2019, South Korean technology giant Samsung Electronics Co Ltd was altering its strategy in China as it has closed one of its smartphone manufacturing plants in Tianjin and plans to invest $2.4 billion to build new battery and capacitor plants in the city, to raise its business in China. Additionally, according to XINHUANET.com in 2020, China revealed a development plan for its new energy vehicles (NEV) industry from 2021 to 2035 that targets to accelerate the country's move into an automotive powerhouse.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the global ceramic capacitor market include KEMET, KYOCERA Corp., Murata Electronics North America, Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co., Ltd., Samwha Capacitor Group, TDK Corp., and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers & acquisitions, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in 2021, Vishay Antitechnology, Inc. introduced a new series of surface-mount AC line rated ceramic disc safety capacitors that are the industry’s first such devices to offer a Y1 rating of 500 VAC and 1500 VDC. The Vishay BCcomponents SMDY1 series devices offer industry-high capacitance to 4.7 nF. Designed to withstand harsh, high humidity environments, the capacitors will be utilized for EMI / RFI filtering in power supplies, solar inverters, smart meters, and LED drivers.
