The global discrete capacitors market size reached USD 9.5 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 12.7 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.1% during 2025-2033.
Discrete capacitors are electrical components that store energy and hold positive and negative energy on two separate plates separated by an insulator. They are generally made from materials including plastic, ceramic, glass, porcelain, and mica. They are used in power supply units (PSUs) that smooth out voltage through filter ripple. They are commonly utilized for coupling signals between stages of amplifiers and in power supply systems of various electronic devices. Discrete capacitors discharge and preserve charges with minimal loss of energy and have a long service life as compared to other batteries. They find extensive applications in the automotive, medical, telecommunications, aerospace, and defense industries.
The increasing installation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in residential, commercial, and industrial spaces represents one of the major factors positively influencing the demand for discrete capacitors worldwide. In addition, the rising demand for efficient devices for supplying and transmitting electricity across various industries is contributing to the market growth. Moreover, discrete capacitors are employed in the automotive industry for effectively charging systems. This, in confluence with the escalating demand for hybrid and electric vehicles (H/EVs) due to growing concerns about carbon emissions, is driving the market. Besides this, increasing environmental concerns and energy security among the masses are boosting the adoption of renewable energy and smart grids around the world. This, along with the rising sales of consumer electronic products like smartphones, laptops, and smart wearables, is propelling the market growth.
