Electrolytic capacitors are polarized capacitors that have the positive plate or anode made of a metal, such as aluminum or tantalum, which forms an insulating oxide layer that acts as the dielectric through oxidation. The major difference between the conventional capacitors and electrolytic capacitors is that the conductive plates on the opposite ends of the latter one are separated by metal oxide layers and an electrolyte.
These electronic circuit components are increasingly gaining popularity across diverse industries, owing to their small size, large capacitance per volume, and low cost as compared to conventional capacitors. In addition to this, growing incorporation of supercapacitors, a sub-type of electrolytic capacitors having multilayered capacitors, in numerous devices for providing capacitance more than thousands of farads is projected to further propel the demand in the global market.
Electrolytic capacitors are finding a wide range of applications such as filtering devices for decreasing the ripple voltage and for smoothening signals. They are extensively being used in multiple electronic products and components such as inverter main circuits, switching mode power supplies, control circuits, and computer motherboards among others. Hence, increasing demand for such products and components is projected to create high remunerative opportunities in the global market.

The electrolytic capacitor market is largely driven by the surging demand for quality capacitors, in medical electronic, telecommunication, and automotive industries. Also, deepening trend of miniaturization in the electronic devices sector and shifting end user inclination from ceramic and plastic film capacitors is estimated to bolster the demand for electrolytic capacitors in the coming years.
Demand for power is surging at a rapid pace, driven by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and growing trend of electrification, especially across emerging economies such as India, China, Australia, and others. Hence, governments worldwide are aiming at refurbishment of existing power infrastructure and development of smart grids to reduce the decrease electricity loss.
For instance, according to a report by the India Smart Grid Forum, the Government of India has announced its plan of allotting US$ 129.9 Mn for developing smart grids across smart cities across India under the National Smart Grid Mission (NSGM). As electrolytic capacitors are extensively used in smart grid circuits for declining transmission loss and improving grid stability, such developments are estimated to accelerate the sales in the global market.
Despite several advantages associated with the use of electrolytic capacitors, drawbacks such as short life, equivalent series resistance, less value tolerance, and large leakage currents among others are the factors hampering the adoption of these capacitors across various industries. This is hindering the sales of electrolytic capacitors in the market.
In addition to this, increasing shift in customer preference for using multilayered ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) in novel smartphones, entertainment systems, and other computing solution devices is further restraining the demand for electrolytic capacitors.

As per Future Market Insights, Asia Pacific excluding Japan is forecast to account for the lion’s share in the global electrolytic capacitor market between 2022 and 2032.
A swift rise in demand for electronic devices, such as personal computers, is being witnessed across Asia Pacific, favored by growing telecommunication sector resulting in fueling demand for components of inverter main circuits and switching mode power supplies.
Thus, key manufacturers in the market are emphasizing on launching novel products to cater to this accelerating demand. For instance, Jianghai, one of the largest Chinese manufacturers of capacitors recently announced introducing new series of capacitors including 3 new electrolytic span-in capacitors – CD_895_ZK, CD_892_ZL, and CD_891_ZJ which can be used in the primary side of switching mode power supplies. Such new product launches are anticipated to spur the sales of electrolytic capacitors in the Asia Pacific excluding Japan.
As per FMI, Europe is projected to register steady growth in the global electrolytic capacitor market during the forecast period 2022-2032.
Surging trend of electrification across the automotive sector and growing fuel prices have resulted in accelerating the sales of electric vehicles across the countries such as Germany, the U.K., France, and others. According to a study by the International Energy Agency, nearly 1.4 million electric vehicles were reported to be sold across Europe, out of which Germany and France account for about 395,000 and 185,000 unit sales, respectively in 2020.
As electrolytic capacitor plays a critical role in stabilizing the voltage in electronic circuits used in electric vehicles, due to its large capacitance, increasing sales of these automobiles are expected to facilitate the growth in the Europe market.
