Global Supercapacitor Market Overview     

The growth of the supercapacitor market is attaining speed due to elevated requirements for capacitors in several industries like automotive, consumer electronics, industrial, and energy sectors. Increasing carbon emission and the rising cost of fuel are pushing the expansion of the supercapacitor market. Moreover, a revolution to scale back the usage of fossil fuels and save energy bolsters the expansion of the supercapacitor market.

Also, the increasing requirement of supercapacitors for electronic products to the stabilized power supply in computers, laptops, hand-held devices, GPS, and portable media players are a number of the explanations fostering the event of worldwide supercapacitor market. On the opposite hand, factors like intense competition with the renowned vendors for top capacity batteries and the high cost of fabric are hampering the event of the supercapacitor market.

A supercapacitor is also known as ultracapacitor or double-layer capacitor differs from a regular capacitor due to its very high capacitance. A capacitor stores energy by means of a static charge as opposed to an electrochemical reaction. Applying a voltage differential on the positive and negative plates charges the capacitor.

The growth of the supercapacitor market is primarily driven by ongoing green revolution to save energy and reduce the usage of fossil fuels. Another factor which is fueling the demand of supercapacitor market is increasing costs of fossil fuels and the hazardous impact of rising carbon emissions which are forcing several consumer electronics and automobile makers to choose for alternative power supplies. The supportive stance of governments across the globe to bring down CO2 emissions by encouraging sustainable energy consumption is also propelling the supercapacitor market. However, high initial cost of material is restraining the growth of supercapacitor market. Nonetheless, rising demand of supercapacitor in developing countries for the automotive sector will be anticipated to create growth opportunities over the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis:

Undoubtedly, the COVID-19 pandemic has harmed the market size for the years 2020 and 2021, with small and medium-scale companies struggling to sustain their businesses in the near-term future. A significant number of manufacturers of hybrid capacitors are facing a lack of raw materials, as well as financial support to manufacture hybrid capacitors owing to the outbreak of COVID-19. This has further resulted in the closing down of producing facilities owing to lockdowns that have disrupted the supply chains, and further challenges in the availability of labor have impacted the expansion of the global Supercapacitor market.  

Growth Factors  

The development of the market is driven by their increasing demand in energy harvesting applications and the increasing use of supercapacitors in aircraft and trains. Also, the increasing global demand for electric vehicles is likely to boost the growth of the market.  Additionally, advanced functions offered by supercapacitors such as the ability to offer backup power to low-power gadgets such as SRAM, RAM, PC Cards, and micro-controllers during power shutdown are elevating the growth of the supercapacitor market. In addition, new product launch by market players is one more reason behind the development of supercapacitor market. For instance, in June 2017, Panasonic Corporation launched its newly developed Energy Polymer Capacitor that reached energy densities.
