Electrolytic Capacitor Market Top Key Vendors, Segmentation, And Swot Analysis

Electrolytic Capacitors: Introduction

  • An electrolytic capacitor, also called e-cap, is a polarized capacitor. In this capacitor, one plate is coated through electrolysis with an oxide to act as a dielectric, while the other plate is replaced by an electrolyte.
  • Solid, liquid, or gel electrolytes can be used as the cathode or negative plate in these capacitors, which protects the oxide layer. Generally, electrolytic capacitors can bear products with higher capacitance-voltage (CV) per unit volume than ceramic capacitors or film capacitors, as they have higher capacitance values due to thin dielectric oxide layer and enlarged anode surface.
  • Primarily, families of electrolytic capacitors can be classified into three types i.e. aluminum electrolytic capacitors, tantalum electrolytic capacitors, and niobium electrolytic capacitors
  • The global electrolytic capacitor market is driven by the rising demand for high-quality capacitors in telecommunication, medical electronics, and automotive industries. Growing trend of miniaturization of electronic devices is another factor likely to fuel the global market for electrolytic capacitors during the forecast period.

Rise in Demand for Electrolytic Capacitors due to High Capacitance Value

  • Electrolytic capacitors are highly reliable and stable passive components. They are used in different commercial, industrial, and medical applications. This is primarily attributable to their capacity to withstand high temperatures. Electrolytic capacitors can operate at a wide range of operating temperatures. They can withstand temperatures of up to 250°C, with good stability and extremely high insulation resistance.
  • As compared to most high-temperature capacitors available in the marketplace, electrolytic capacitors have the most impressive leakage current-temperature features. Moreover, dielectric materials used in them can offer remarkable insulation resistance, which makes these capacitors a suitable choice for use in blocking, coupling, and timing circuits.
  • Additionally, electrolytic capacitors are popular for use in several applications that require steady performance in harsh environments such as jet aircraft engine control, automotive ignition, down-hole oil logging and exploration, and avionics or military applications
  • Electrolytic capacitors are commercially available in different sizes and temperature ratings. End-users can easily purchase their product-specific capacitor through different sales channels.
