The global multi-layer ceramic capacitor market size reached USD 11.4 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 17.7 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.81% during 2025-2033.
Multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) refers to a fixed-value capacitor where two or more alternating layers of ceramic act as the dielectric. It comprises of parallelly-arranged individual capacitors that are connected to a monolithic structure, thereby offering higher frequency in comparison to the conventional aluminum electrolytic capacitors. As a result, it is widely installed across diverse sectors, such as, automotive, electronics, telecommunication, data transmission, power generation, etc.
The growing energy demand is primarily driving the adoption of MLCC for ensuring uninterrupted power supply across the residential and commercial complexes. Moreover, the expanding renewable energy sector is also propelling the demand for ceramic-based capacitors for protecting electrical components from external impacts. A significant growth in the consumer electronics industry along with the increasing demand for smartphones, digital TV sets, multimedia players, etc., is also augmenting the market growth. Furthermore, the rising integration of numerous advanced technologies, such as IoT, AI, remote sensing, etc., with capacitors in various smart wearables and sensor-based devices is also catalyzing the global market. In line with this, the growing number of smart infrastructures is further bolstering the adoption of MLCC to facilitate data transfer over a wired or wireless network without human intervention. Moreover, the expanding automotive sector coupled with the emergence of autonomous and driverless vehicles is also propelling the market growth. Besides this, the increasing focus of several manufacturers on the development of advanced product variants with improved transmission capacities will continue to further drive the global market for MLCC in the coming years.
The competitive landscape of the industry has also been examined with some of the key players being Darfon Electronics Corporation, Kyocera Corporation, Murata Manufacturing Co. Ltd., Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co. Ltd. (Samsung Group), Taiyo Yuden Co. Ltd., TDK Corporation, Vishay Intertechnology Inc., Walsin Technology Corporation and Yageo Corporation.
