Capacitor Market Analysis

The Capacitor Market size is estimated at USD 26.70 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 35.56 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

  • PCB miniaturization and advancements in semiconductor and circuit architectures paved the way for the rise in demand for capacitors in various applications, including smartphones.
  • As communication base stations become increasingly smaller and use higher frequency bands, designing is becoming more difficult owing to the limited number of components mounted on the substrate and restrictions on the size and operating temperature of components. Due to their lower cost and small size, passive components like capacitors are increasingly preferred for these applications.
  • The widespread adoption of 5G smartphones and their increasing functionality stoke demand for further miniaturization and higher electronic circuitry density. For instance, several manufacturers, such as Qualcomm and MediaTek, are introducing chipsets that support 5G, which multiple smartphone manufacturers use. Previously, 5G support was confined to only flagship mobiles; now, mid-level smartphones also support 5G to introduce cheaper chipsets in the market. Such initiatives are increasing the need for ceramic capacitors.
  • Among the applications, multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) are essential components of many electronic devices and are widely used in wearable devices and smartphones (approximately 900 to 1100 multilayer ceramic capacitors are installed in smartphones). Moreover, new technologies, like IoT, 5G, and EVs, are highly dependent on the availability of MLCCs, as these fulfill higher efficiency needs. This has driven manufacturers to align their product lines and production capacities to meet the requirements of these technologies.
  • Renewable applications such as solar energy-dependent watches and display lights, among other small devices, have increased and have created many application areas for EDLC. In addition, electric double-layer capacitors are used as backup sources of memory in computers and are used together with small batteries. Manufacturers provide these capacitors based on carbon nanotubes and graphene due to the high costs and their limited scalability. Due to evolving green energy applications, improving price-performance ratios, and growing new applications across several industries, there are advancements in double-layer capacitors.
  • To reduce the size of the capacitors, the manufacturers are adopting and using various combinations, such as voltage range and optimal dielectric spread, to fulfill the surging needs. As the demand for capacitors is fueled by significant product development in the IoT, consumer electronics, and electric vehicles (EV), any new advancements in these industries have become limited by the capacitor's availability during the shortage, with lead times extending from several months to a year in some cases.
