Market Dynamics
Market Trend- Increased use of supercapacitors in clean energy plants
Global renewable energy demand continues to grow, driven by living standards in emerging countries. As the primary energy structure emerges towards an increased share of renewable energy and an increasing role of electricity, the demand for supercapacitors remains robust. Renewable energy, led by wind and solar power, is the fastest-growing source of energy over the forecast period, supported by advancements in energy storage and investment in new wind and solar capacity.
According to the IEA, global renewable electricity capacity is forecast to increase rise more than 60% from 2020 levels to over 4,800 GW. Renewables are likely to account for around 37% of global electricity generation by 2026. China accounts for 43% of the growth, followed by Europe, the United States, and India. Planned funding of around EUR 800 billion in Europe in the form of loans and grants, as a part of the economic recovery plan, will contribute to the growth. Similarly, favorable wind and solar PV policies and economic conditions in the US, the Indian government’s target of 500 GW by 2030, and bilateral contract agreements in Brazil, Chile, and other Latin American countries support the market growth.
The growing drive towards renewable energy is encouraging the demand for supercapacitors. The increasing setup of clean energy plants worldwide supports the market for supercapacitors, driven by their higher power density compared to batteries. As the need for reliable and uninterrupted supply plays a vital role in power generation, supercapacitor manufacturers and vendors will witness significant demand growth.
Market Driver- Growth in global demand for electric vehicles
The global passenger car market is undergoing a radical transformation with automakers shifting gears towards hybrid and electric vehicles. The growth in electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) is climbing and by 2025, EVs and HEVs will account for an estimated 15% to 25% of all vehicle sales as compared to around 1% share of electric vehicles in 2017.
In particular, both North American and European car buyers will prefer hybrids and BEVs, with these types set to lead over the next decade. On the production front, China will be the dominant producer driven by established plants, cheap labor, and overall low production costs. Driven by decreasing costs and increasing the capacity of batteries coupled with subsidy schemes and government support will drive the industry growth.
Lamborghini, Tesla, Rolls Royce, and other sports car makers are planning to adopt supercapacitors in their electric vehicles. Tesla is focusing on building large-scale battery packs. China, the US, European Union, and other countries are emphasizing electric vehicles and extending supportive policy frameworks, research funding, and grants, which support the demand for Lithium-Ion batteries and the recycling market.
Amidst greater power density than chemical reaction-based batteries, the penetration of supercapacitors across the EV industry is rapidly increasing. The need for affordable, high-range, efficient electric vehicles, improvements in supercapacitor design, material, electrolytes, surface shape, development of flexible supercapacitors, and others are encouraging significant growth potential for supercapacitors in the automotive industry.
Market Segmentation
The global Supercapacitors Market is segmented into Types, Applications, and Countries.
Electric Double-layered Capacitors are the largest type of Supercapacitors in 2022
An electric double-layered capacitor (EDLC) is an electrochemical capacitor a high-capacity capacitor, widely used across applications, which works through electrostatic charging. The charge process is electrostatic with charge separation at the two electrode-electrolyte interfaces.
The electrostatic charge transfer in this type of device is fully reversible, which improves both the device's efficiency and long cycle life. The electrochemical performance is determined by multiple parameters including the electric field across the active material, the electrolyte ions, the solvent used to dissolve ions, and the chemical affinity between the active material surface and absorbed ions.
They have the longest lifetime among different types. The EDLC-type capacitors stood as the dominant type of supercapacitor worldwide and are expected to retain their dominance throughout the forecast period.
In applications where a stable energy supply is required for a shorter period such as consumer electronics, the penetration of supercapacitors is rapid. Most of the leading players are emphasizing double-layer capacitor technology to widen their applications. Further, the automotive industry is also one of the leading application segments for Electric Double Layer Capacitors.
Consumer Electronics are growing at the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The small size, long life, and environmental protection advantages of supercapacitors enable their use in consumer electronics including smartphones and consumer-grade devices. As consumer electronic devices require a constant DC voltage for operation, supercapacitors have significant market potential.
Supercapacitors are hazard-free and have higher power density – which enables them to pump a high amount of power in a shorter period. Further, they have higher life cycles compared to batteries. Small size advantages make flexible supercapacitors highly attractive for a large number of emerging portable lightweight consumer devices.
With the rapid advancement of IoT-enabled devices, companies continue to develop efficient supercapacitors for a wide range of applications. Wireless thermometers, motors in electric fishing machines, weeders, gasoline generators, household machines, smart toys, RFID tags, small home appliances, and others are widely targeted by companies.
Similarly, the advent of smart homes is one of the main market drivers for supercapacitors. Control panels, smart door locks, electrical control systems, home theater systems, intercom systems, video surveillance, burglar alarms, HVAC systems, smart kitchen equipment, television systems, and others remain main targets for companies.
By Region, Asia Pacific accounts for the highest market size for the period 2023 to 2030
Driven by rapid adoption across the end-user industries, Asia Pacific dominates the global Supercapacitors market with over 40.2% market share in value terms.
China- China is the largest market for supercapacitors in the region. The robust consumer electronics market coupled with the ongoing drive towards the setup of electric vehicle manufacturing units across the country supports the market.
The demand for supercapacitors in energy storage applications is strong in China. The government of China plans to achieve 80% of its total energy mix from non-fossil fuel sources by 2060 and 1,200 GW of solar and wind generation capacities by 2030 (under the low-cost renewable scenario).
A large population base, low-cost manufacturing, and trade opportunities drive the production and consumption of smart wearable devices, portable devices, and other consumer electronics. Chinese mobile device assembly players are also focusing on supercapacitors.
Leading supercapacitor manufacturers in China including Kamcap market high-quality ultracapacitors, including coin-type supercapacitors, winding-type supercapacitors, combined-type supercap capacitors, module supercaps, high-temperature supercap, and hybrid capacitors. In addition to strong investment and government support, the country is characterized by robust domestic demand.
