Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor Market Drivers
Increasing Usage of Capacitors in Automobile Battery Management Systems combined with Rising Penetration of Electric Vehicles is Propelling the Growth of Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor Market:
The growing use of capacitors in
automobile battery management systems, combined with the rising popularity of
electric vehicles is driving the growth of the Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor
market. Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors are commonly found in critical safety
and control systems such as power steering, airbag controls and braking
systems. They are being incorporated within engine control units to
provide assistance in battery control, fuel engine regulation and electric motors. In the automotive industry, multi-layer ceramic
capacitors & film capacitors are widely used to assist DC/DC
converters, motor generators as well as onboard chargers. This, in turn, serves
as an important component in the automotive market due to its widespread use
in conventional ICE vehicles and in electronic chips. According to a
SAMSUNG report published in 2021, approximately 10,000 multi-layer ceramic capacitors
are used in the development of an automobile and up to 30,000 in a luxury car.
In April 2022, Samsung Electro-Mechanics launched 13 types of high-temperature
MLCCs for automotive powertrains. These MLCCs can operate in temperatures up to 150°C and were available in a range of sizes and capacitances. These factors
will eventually help in expanding the Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor market size
in the long run.
Growing Application of Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors in High-Power Electronic Circuits and Consumer Devices is Boosting the Demand for Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors:
The increasing use of Multi-Layer Ceramic
Capacitors in high-power electronic circuits and consumer electronics is
accelerating the demand for Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors. Capacitors
determine the stability and reliability of the system which makes them one of
the most important components in any electronic design. They are widely used to meet the increasing
demand for high charge density materials as they have high dielectric constant
& thin dielectric layers. Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors are widely used in
high-frequency decoupling applications due to being a part of the non-polarized
device category. In February 2022, Sabae Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
launched a new research and development project with a USD 55.24 million
investment. The new Research and development infrastructure will be used to
develop layering technology to make electronic components smaller,
thinner as well as compact in order to facilitate mass production. In

Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor Market Challenges
High Manufacturing Costs and lack of Awareness Regarding the Benefits of Using Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors are Restricting their Market Growth:
High manufacturing
costs coupled with a lack of awareness about their benefits act as a major factor
hampering the growth of the Multi-Layer Ceramic
Capacitor industry. Copper and nickel electrodes are commonly used as termination
materials for base metal electrodes in multi-layered ceramic chip
capacitors. The development of MLCC requires roughly 17% plating materials
by weight to ensure solderability. As a result, termination materials
constitute a significant portion of the variable materials and their costs have
a direct impact on the production cost of Multi-layered ceramic
capacitors. Thus, Multi-layered ceramic capacitors are expensive due to the
high cost of the base material. According to
Alibaba, an e-commerce site the price of multi-layered ceramic capacitors ranges
between $300 and $500. Furthermore, electronics companies like Apple,
GoPro and Tesla release new product lines every year, making it difficult to
predict their demand, as well as the lack of awareness about the benefits
of using such capacitors among manufacturers, is limiting their market growth over time.
