Dublin, Oct. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Aluminum and Film Capacitor Market (By Type, Voltage, Application, End-Users, & Region): Insights and Forecast with Potential Impact of COVID-19 (2022-2027)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global aluminum electrolytic capacitor market is projected to reach US$7.18 billion in 2023, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.05% over the forecast period. Similarly, the global film capacitor market is anticipated to reach US$3.44 billion in 2023, experiencing a CAGR of 3.84% during the same period.

Understanding Capacitors:

Capacitors are passive electronic components used to store electric energy through charge separation in an electric field. Two major types discussed in this report are:

  • Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors: These are polarized capacitors with an anode electrode (+) constructed of pure aluminum foil with an etched surface.
  • Film Capacitors: These capacitors use a thin plastic film as the dielectric. They are generally known for being inexpensive, stable over time, and having low self-inductance.

Key Drivers and Trends:

  • Miniaturization of Electronic Devices: Shrinking device sizes drive the growth of aluminum electrolytic capacitors, making them essential for modern electronics.
  • Increasing Sales of Electric Vehicles (EVs): The demand for high-performance capacitors in EVs and HEVs contributes to the growth of both aluminum and film capacitor markets.
  • Proliferating Demand from Aerospace & Defense: The transition towards private space businesses and the need for advanced technology in space hardware boost the demand for capacitors in the aerospace and defense sectors.

Challenges:

  • High Costs: Capacitor makers face cost challenges due to supply shortages and rising power prices, impacting both film and aluminum capacitors.
