A screw terminal type aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a high-capacity capacitor that features threaded screw terminals to ensure secure mechanical and electrical connections. This capacitor uses aluminum as the anode and an electrolyte to achieve elevated capacitance levels. Due to its ability to handle high currents, endure high ripple loads, and offer extended operational life, it is frequently utilized in industrial and power electronics applications.
These capacitors come in three main categories-small capacity, medium capacity, and high capacity. A small-capacity screw terminal-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an electrolytic component equipped with screw terminals to ensure secure electrical connectivity and is characterized by relatively low capacitance values. It is typically implemented in circuits where limited energy storage or filtering is required. This type finds applications across sectors including household appliances, automotive electronics, industrial electronics, and others. Its end users span a variety of industries such as electronics manufacturing, automotive production, telecommunications, energy, and consumer goods.

The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing electrification of vehicles, growth in renewable energy systems, rising industrial automation, expansion of energy storage solutions, increasing adoption in smart grids. Major trends in the forecast period include high ripple current handling, long operational life capacitors, industrial-grade applications, power electronics optimization, secure mechanical & electrical connections.
The rising automotive production is expected to drive the growth of the screw terminal type aluminum electrolytic capacitor market going forward. The automotive sector includes the design, manufacturing, and sale of motor vehicles and their components, playing a crucial role in global transportation and mobility. The increase in automotive output is largely fueled by a surge in demand for electric vehicles, supported by greater environmental awareness and government incentives promoting sustainable transportation. Screw terminal type aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used in automotive applications due to their high capacitance and secure connection features, ensuring reliable performance under harsh operating conditions such as vibration and extreme temperatures. For example, in March 2025, the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) reported that global car sales reached 74.6 million units in 2024, marking a 2.5% rise from 2023. The European Union recorded moderate growth of 0.8%, totaling 10.6 million units sold, while North America saw stronger momentum with a 3.8% increase in car sales. Therefore, increasing automotive production is boosting the demand for screw terminal type aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
The growing deployment of 5G networks is also expected to fuel the expansion of the screw terminal type aluminum electrolytic capacitor market. 5G represents the fifth generation of mobile wireless technology, delivering higher speeds, lower latency, and support for a larger number of connected devices compared to earlier generations. Rapid 5G rollout is being driven by rising investments from telecom operators in network infrastructure to meet growing consumer and enterprise demand for high-speed, reliable mobile connectivity. High-performance aluminum electrolytic capacitors are essential in 5G base stations and telecommunications hardware, where they provide power supply stabilization and signal filtering. For instance, in April 2025, 5G Americas reported that 5G adoption had surpassed 2.25 billion connections worldwide and was expanding four times faster than 4G at the same stage of development. Therefore, the increasing deployment of 5G networks is contributing to the growth of the screw terminal type aluminum electrolytic capacitor market.
