Capacitor Market for Power Electronics Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

Capacitor Industry Overview

The capacitors market for power electronics is fragmented and highly competitive, as several international and domestic players are operating in the market. Some key players include TDK Corporation, Vishay Intertechnology Inc., Murata Manufacturing Co. Ltd, AVX Corporation (Kyocera Group), and Kemet Corporation (Yageo Company), among others. To maintain their position in a highly competitive market, the players are continuously innovating new products and undertaking various other business development strategies.

• April 2023: The Vishay BC components 172 RLX series, developed by Vishay Intertechnology Inc., is a new line of low-impedance automotive-grade miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitors. It features 14 case sizes with dimensions ranging from 10mm by 12mm to 18mm by 40mm, and it can operate at temperatures up to +105 °C. The switch mode power supplies, DC/DC converters, motor drives, and control units for automotive, telecommunications, industrial, audio-video, and electronic data processing (EDP) applications can benefit from the smoothing, filtering, and buffering capabilities of the Vishay BC components 172 RLX series of polarised aluminum electrolytic capacitors with non-solid electrolyte.
• December 2022: TDK Corporation offers ModCap HF, a modular capacitor idea that can operate at extremely high switching frequencies for DC link applications. The six newly created power capacitors in the B25647A* series are rated for voltages between 900 and 1600 volts and have capacitance ranges between 640 and 1850 volts. The highest allowable hot spot temperature is 90 °C, and the rated currents range from 160 A to 210 A depending on the kind. ModCap HF is especially well suited for fast-switching SiC-based inverters because of its ultra-low ESL value of just 8 nH and flat ESR vs. Freq evolution that allows minimizing losses even at high frequency. The power semiconductors don't experience voltage overshooting when the current is turned off due to the extremely low self-inductance.
