Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor Market: Prominent Utility in EVs

Our recent report states that, in terms of end-users, the automotive segment is expected to witness a CAGR of 6.82% over the forecast period 2024-2032. One of the main factors driving the demand for MLCC in the automobile industry is the growing popularity of electric vehicles. In fact, the adoption of ceramic capacitors is driven by:

Increasing Demand for Electronic Components in Vehicles: As modern vehicles are highly reliant on electronic components, it directly translates into increased demand for MLCCs. Their incorporation in infotainment systems, engine control units (ECUs), advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and connectivity features, MLCC are vital within these systems.

Miniaturization and Integration: Low-range MLCCs offer high capacitance in a small footprint, making them ideal for applications. As automotive manufacturers strive to make vehicles lighter, more fuel-efficient, and technologically advanced, there is a trend towards miniaturization and integration of electronic components.

MLCC Market: Government Boosts in the Automobile Sector

Governments in several countries are implementing various strategies to stimulate the growth of the automobile sector, particularly focusing on electric vehicles and smart automotive technologies. Some of these measures include:

  • Subsidies and Tax Incentives: New Zealand’s objective is to have 35% of new EV registrations by 2035. In parallel with the introduction of EV incentives, the government also implemented a ‘UTE Tax’ of over $5600 on every new UTE sale. This tax is intended to promote and fund the EV incentive scheme.

  • Investment in Charging Infrastructure: According to Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI), the German government announced a solid investment of about $960 million in July 2023. This amount was bifurcated among private households and assisted companies in creating and installing EV charging infrastructure.

  • Research and Development Grants: The government in Turkey is providing grants and funding for R&D in advanced automotive technologies, including battery technology, fuel efficiency, and emission reduction technologies, which in turn increases the demand for MLCCs in these applications.

  • Adherence to Legally Binding Targets: The UK Government has taken a bold step by declaring a ban on the sale of internal combustion engine cars and vans by 2030. This move positions the UK as the first country among the G7 nations to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

  • Latest Budget Allocation: In India, the recent Budget 2024-25 highlights the big boost for Production Linked Incentives (PLI) in the automotive sector. The government announced a massive seven-fold increase of about ₹3,500 crore.

Moving Forward: Innovations Fostering MLCC Adoption

Innovation remains a key driver, with companies continuously working to enhance the performance and reliability of their capacitors. For instance, Murata Manufacturing Co Ltd introduced the world’s smallest and highest capacitance MLCCs, catering to the growing demand for more efficient, reliable, and compact components in all sectors of technology. Other recent innovations made in the market are:

  • High Capacitance MLCCs: Companies are developing MLCCs with higher capacitance values in smaller sizes, catering to the need for compact yet powerful components in electronic devices.

  • Improved Temperature Stability: Advances in materials and manufacturing processes have led to MLCCs that offer better performance across a wider range of temperatures, making them suitable for more demanding applications.

  • Enhanced Reliability: New formulations and layering techniques have resulted in MLCCs with improved reliability and longer lifespans, even under harsh conditions.

Thus, fueled by the relentless demand for EVs, more advanced and efficient electronic devices, and the continuous innovation by manufacturers, sets a promising path for the MLCC market growth. Similarly, with active government policies in various countries, stakeholders within this market aim to transform its potential in the coming years.
