According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Multi Layer Ceramic Capacitor Market is accounted for $14.0 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $33.8 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 15.8% during the forecast period. Because of their adaptability in terms of size and design, affordability, and resistance to high voltages, MLCCs have special qualities. As a result, they are currently regarded as the most reliable ones. So far, their capacity to combine several components into one unit has been the crucial part that has led to their broad use. Each layer in an MLCC, which contains hundreds of them, functions as an independent component. As a result, there was no requirement for extra circuitry components.
According to the IBEF, in FY 2021, the production of automobiles in India was 22.65 million vehicles. Also, 13 million vehicles were produced during April-October 2021.
Increasing demand from the automotive sector
One of the most significant MLCC end customers is the automotive sector. The adoption of automotive-grade MLCCs in recent years is anticipated to drive the growth of the overall MLCC industry. The demand for multilayer ceramic capacitors is accelerating due to the growing use of electronic components in automotive systems such as engines, powertrains, and infotainment systems. Miniaturization of components, capacitance improvements, and enhancements to safety measures are all necessary because of the automobile industry's continuous advancements.
Advanced micro-level technical competence required for developing MLCCs
The multilayer ceramic capacitor, one of the simplest electronic parts, has 500 to 600 dielectric and electrode layers, making it a high-tech device. Comparing MLCCs to other passive chip components, MLCC manufacturing and lamination technique are the most complicated. The core technique used to produce reliable and precise MLCCs is the compact stacking of several dielectric layers. The reason for the multilayering is that the ability to store more electricity increases with the number of layers stacked.
Rise in internet of things (IoT)
The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) is enabling a wide range of commercial opportunities. High-capacitance MLCCs are the optimal option for IoT devices because of their inherent reliability and long service life. Low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and inductance are characteristics of MLCCs, which have a proven mean time to failure (MTTF) ranging from 10,000 to more than 1,000,000 hours (ESL). IoT devices integrate smart wearables, home appliances, security cameras, entertainment systems, and other smart gadgets into automobile infotainment systems.
Miniaturization of MLCCs
The trend towards smaller and lighter electrical products and components has MLCC manufacturers constantly exploring new ways to push the MLCC architecture's limits. More performance is required even when devices get smaller because capacitors are designed to have lower losses and offer even higher efficiency. When this occurs, even the simplest security devices, such as bank cards and sophisticated patient monitoring systems, frequently include ultra-thin MLCCs. A high-performance, adaptable, and user-friendly 5G-enabled smartphone of the suitable dimensions also requires the downsizing of MLCCs. On the other hand, manufacturers of electronic components cannot simply accelerate the downsizing of MLCCs.
Covid-19 Impact:
Export-oriented economies experienced significant impacts because of the COVID-19 outbreak and spread since industrial facilities had to shut down in 2020. Due to delays in 5G base station deployments, the production and launch of new Evs, and connected vehicle innovations, it hindered the growth of the MLCC industry. The increased demand for MLCCs from the end-user industries of electronics and telecommunications, however, mitigated the pandemic crisis's adverse effects on the expansion of the MLCC market.
The class II segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
Since the emergence of ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems), the rise of autonomous vehicles, and the rapid development of connected vehicles are attributed to the increasing deployment of Class II dielectric type MLCCs in the automotive industry, the Class II segment currently holds the largest share of the market and is anticipated to continue holding this position throughout the forecast period. The number of MLCCs deployed rises as more vehicles switch from internal combustion engines (ICE) to battery electric vehicles (BEV), frequently by a factor of five or more.
The automotive segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Due to the rising use of multilayer ceramic capacitors in automotive electronic components including powertrains, vehicle frames, and infotainment devices, the automotive segment is anticipated to develop at the highest CAGR over the forecast period. A number of manufacturers have encouraged the development of MLCCs specifically designed for automotive applications with a wide range of voltage options, case sizes, and capacitance values. As a result, the MLCCs employed in the sector can resist temperatures of 150 °C or more. However, the amount of data processed in Level 3 autonomous driving compared to Level 1 increases up to 100 times with the advent of connected electronics and autonomous vehicles. Moreover, the battery voltage in Evs rises to 600-1000 V.
Region with largest share:
Throughout the projected period, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to hold the largest share of the market for multilayer ceramic capacitors. The number of MLCCs utilised per vehicle in the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to grow rapidly as more vehicles switch from internal combustion engines (ICEs) to battery electric vehicles (BEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Furthermore, the commercial launch of 5G communication technology has increased demand for MLCCs with high reliability and speed.
As China has been the largest automotive sector worldwide and is rapidly developing into a technological powerhouse, Asia Pacific is anticipated to have the highest CAGR in the multilayer ceramic capacitor market over the projected period. The nation's flexibility toward technological advancement could have a significant impact on the automotive sector in the future. Due to initiatives like "Made in China 2025," China is additionally anticipated to have a massive expansion in the automation and industrial sectors with the introduction of Industry 4.0. Additionally, the rise of MLCC vendors has huge potential in the Indian automobile sector.
