High Voltage Capacitors Market Forecasts to 2028 - Global Analysis By Type, Application, End User, and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global High Voltage Capacitors Market is accounted for $13.20 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $29.01 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 11.9% during the forecast period. High voltage capacitors offer basic and dependable receptive ability to improve framework productivity, execution, and quality. It is used under oil for peaking in large pulse power systems or pulse shaping. The capacitors are produced utilizing foil electrode windings and dielectric. Its capacity usually ranges from 25 volts for household electronics to 1000 volts for specialized industrial equipment. The capacitors are enclosed in plastic cases with essential terminals, and are comprehensively vacuum-dried and infused with an insulating liquid.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing demand for electricity

The increasing electricity demand is driving the market growth. The demand for electrical capacitors is supposed to increment altogether, basically because of the rising interest for customer durables and IT equipment, with the usage of electrical hardware in different applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are used in grid infrastructure to augment electricity accessibility, hence driving the market. For example, as per the International Energy Agency (IEA), electricity demand in India is likely to grow at an annual rate of 6.5% between 2022 and 2024, backed by growing consumption.

Restraint:

High cost of raw materials

The expansion of the global market is hindered by the cost of raw materials. The assembling cost of the sub components such as plastic which is the costliest material and expands the variable cost, consequently lessening the contribution margin in the overall capacitor manufacturing. In the current years, capacitor manufacturers are declining to adjust their raw material costs and constituent manufacturing costs, since they know that utilizing substitute raw materials can keep costs down and reduce the modernization. The decisive necessity in capacitor manufacturing is its capacity to hold a charge, which is resolute by the existing surface region of the dielectric being used.

Opportunity:

Technological upgrade of the old grid infrastructure

Technical upgrade of the old grid infrastructure is a key opportunity gaining popularity in the market. Organizations in the market are redesigning and expanding the old electric grid to augment its capacity to move electricity from renewable sources of power and make the grid more resilient. For instance, in December 2020, Cornell Dubilier Electronics, a US-based producer of high-class capacitors, acquired the high voltage capacitor fabrication systems of NWL. This acquisition significantly expands Cornell Dubilier's capabilities in custom capacitors necessary for military propulsion systems, high-power lasers, inverters, and more.

Threat:

Unmet demand due to pandemic

The eruption of COVID-19 in China and it's spread crosswise various nations all over the world halted the manufacturing deeds of industrial sectors which respectively hampered high voltage capacitor manufacturing also. The revenue streams of government of numerous countries were halted which correspondingly hindered the government funded transmission and distribution projects. This consequently decreased the demand for high voltage capacitors. It is expected that as economies of numerous countries are recovering the government funded transmission and distribution projects might resume as soon as possible which might increase the demand for high voltage capacitor.

The 500-1000V segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The 500-1000V segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth during the forecast period, due to the increase in its use in industrial electronics, power supplies, and high-end electronics. In recent years, the electronics industry has seen large growth owing to technological advancement and population growth across the globe. Capacitors ranging from 500 to 1000 volts are commonly employed in electrical circuits to block direct current while allowing alternating current to pass. They smooth the output of power supply in analogue filter networks.

The power generation segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The power generation segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, owing to the increase in population followed by rise in number of consumers and rapid urbanization. The increase in consumption leads to a rise in demand for electricity, thereby increasing the demand for high voltage capacitors in the power generation equipment. TRV (Transient Recovery Voltage) capacitors-GIS (Gas Insulated Switch Gears) and PD sensors have the highest global market size for power generation.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to increased demand of energy supply, increased demand of electrical appliances with wide application, growing urbanization in developing countries particularly China and India, and rapid industrialization is increasing the demand for electricity in developing economic countries. As well, favourable government initiatives in India and China to increase the electrification rate by expanding the electricity distribution infrastructure, especially in the power grid infrastructure. All above-mentioned factors are projected to raise the demand for high voltage capacitors in this region.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to the increased adoption of high voltage capacitors, the presence of established end-use industries in the region, increase in technological advancement coupled with presence of developed infrastructure, and increase in automotive industry.
