Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037
Series Capacitor Market size was over USD 18.04 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to cross USD 38.95 billion by 2037, growing at more than 6.1% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of series capacitor is estimated at USD 18.98 billion.
The reason behind the growth of the market is the rising demand for electric vehicles. The demand for electric vehicles is increasing consistently due to favorable government regulations and rising incentive policies for the adoption of electric vehicles across the globe. According to a report, in just three years, the percentage of electric vehicles in overall sales has more than tripled, rising from 4% in 2020 to 14% in 2022. It is anticipated that EV sales will rise significantly until 2024. Moreover, electric vehicles have fueled the demand for capacitor technologies with high performance and reliability. Series capacitor in electric vehicles are designed to prevent ripple currents from returning to the power source and to smooth out DC bus voltage variations.
Also, due to limitations on the number of components that may put on the substrate and the size & working temperature of those components, the design of communication base stations is getting harder as they get smaller and utilize higher frequency bands. Passive components like capacitor are increasingly being chosen for these applications due to their smaller size and lower cost.
Series Capacitor Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Growing use of Series Capacitor in Renewable Products - New application areas have been made possible by the growth of EDLC's renewable application portfolio. These include, among other tiny gadgets, solar-powered watches, and display lights. Additionally, computers use tiny batteries and electric double-layer capacitor as backup memory sources. Because of their high cost and limited scalability, manufacturers make these graphene and carbon nanotube-based capacitor. This growing use of series capacitor in renewable products is anticipated to support the growth of market.
- Increasing Implementation in Medical Industry - Electronics are being used in a growing range of medical applications, ranging from large imaging machines to smart tags for surgical packs. In medical systems, passive components are crucial for functions including imaging, patient monitoring, medicine delivery, and dispensing. Batteries or series capacitor used to power implantable medical electronic devices frequently need to be removed from the body after serving their intended purpose because they are not biodegradable. Requirements include passing stringent screening procedures, having a longer service life, and high reliability. To meet consumer demand today, capacitor design and material often need to be improved and made smaller. Because of the rising use of these products and components in the medical industry, it is projected that the series capacitor market will grow during the forecast period.
- Growing Demand in the Consumer Electronics Sector – One of the key factors that is anticipated to propel the market in the coming years is the growing demand for capacitor from the consumer electronics industry. Cell phones and other portable consumer gadgets are developing quickly to keep up with the demands of the modern world. For instance, the smartphone mobile network subscriptions hit about 6.4 billion in 2022, and by 2028, it's expected to top 7.7 billion. The top three nations in terms of smartphone mobile network subscriptions are China, India, and the US. Because they can store almost as much energy as a battery and have the benefit of conventional capacitor' high-speed energy discharge, series capacitor are an attractive power supply for portable electronic gadgets.
Challenges
- Reducing the High-Frequency Circuit's Impedance - Capacitor connected in series have the primary drawback of lowering the circuit's impedance at high frequencies. This is because the impedance is inversely proportional to the capacitance and the overall capacitance of a parallel circuit is greater than the sum of the individual capacitances of the capacitor. This can lead to interference or distortion in circuits that are intended to have a high impedance because it permits high-frequency signals to flow through the circuit. Therefore, this factor may hamper the series capacitor market growth.
- Insufficient Energy Density May Hinder Market Growth
- Complex Control and Protection of the Series Capacitor may Hamper the Market Growth

Series Capacitor Segmentation
Voltage Type (High, Low)
Series capacitor market for the high voltage segment is anticipated to hold the largest share of 56% during the projected period. In residential & commercial buildings, high-voltage capacitor are mainly used to ensure a continuous power supply and to transmit extra-high voltage (EHV) and ultra-high voltage (UHV). Additionally, because of its insulating qualities and capacity to withstand high temperatures, capacitor are becoming increasingly in demand across a wide range of industries. Further, as electronics have become more ingrained in customers' daily lives, more mobile phones, televisions, multimedia players, and smart televisions that make use of these devices are being produced. They can split the power system to increase the flexibility of the grid and provide enormous stability, power flow control, resilience, and reliability. Because of these advantages, HV capacitor are widely used in the chemical, electronics, utility, and automotive industries.
Application (Industrial, Automotive Electronic, Consumer Electronics, Energy)
Energy segment in the series capacitor market is expected to hold a share of 36% by the end of 2037. The growth can be attributed to the increased demand for these capacitor banks owing to several benefits, including easy installation & maintenance, less assembly, simple design, and cost-effectiveness. They are widely used in energy and power applications for transmitting power over long distances. The ongoing projects undertaken by governments to enhance energy generation and distribution infrastructure will likely result in high demand for market. As per a report, compared to earlier projections of 867 TWh, the amount of electricity generated from fossil fuels for 2030 is now only 595 TWh. EU nations' proportion of renewable energy in power generation will rise from 55% to 63% by 2030. The number of renewable applications for EDLC has grown, opening up new application areas. Examples of these include solar-powered watches and display lights, among other small devices.
