APAC region is estimated to be the dominant adopter of electric vehicles and the rising promotion of green transportation such as hybrid electric vehicles are fostering the market. The ongoing developments and rising investments towards incorporation of new technologies into electric vehicles are driving the supercapacitors in electric vehicle market. In April 2021, a Bengaluru based start-up announced to commercialize supercapacitor solutions to accelerate the charging of electric vehicles. Such developments are set to drive the market during the forecast period 2021-2026.

The rapid transition of automotive industries towards electrification of vehicles to reduce the carbon footprint is stimulating the market. The rising technological advancements in battery and power management technology to enhance the electric vehicle charging infrastructure is bolstering the market. Supercapacitors in electric vehicles provide voltage stabilization and prevent interruptions to vehicle electronics. Supercapacitors also help in active suspension, support drive train, regenerative energy capturing, peripheral power, supplemental restraint system (SRS) airbags, distributed power-loom, power steering, and electric vehicle charging stations. Moreover, supercapacitors do not contain any toxic metals or harmful materials which can poison the passenger of environment. Such beneficiary capabilities of supercapacitors are set to drive the market during the forecast period 2021-2026. In February 2020, University College of London and Chinese Academy of Sciences have introduced a new graphene-based supercapacitor allowing electric vehicles to be charged in 10 minutes and can accumulate a record amount of energy which can be stored for a long time. Such developments are boosting the market growth.

The rising trend of combining speed of supercapacitors with the stamina of batteries in a hybrid system to optimize the performance alleviating range anxiety and recharge rate is facilitating the overall consumer shift from petrol and diesel to electric vehicles. According to reports, power density in hybrid supercapacitors is 10 times greater than available in lithium-ion batteries, while lifecycle is improved five-fold and charge times are brought down to minutes instead of hours. The bolstering demand for hybrid supercapacitors is augmenting the market.
