Supercapacitors Market Size, Share | Global Report [2024-2032]
Supercapacitors, also known as ultracapacitors or double-layer capacitors, are electronic devices that are used to store particularly large amounts of electrical charge.
On the basis of application, the market is categorized into automotive, consumer electronics, energy, industrial, healthcare, and others. The automotive sector held the largest supercapacitors market share in 2023, driven by the increasing demand for high-performance energy storage systems.
Supercapacitors are suitable temporary energy storage devices for energy harvesting systems. In energy harvesting systems, the energy is collected from the ambient or renewable sources, e.g., mechanical movement, light or electromagnetic fields, and converted to electrical energy in an energy storage device.
The capex costs of supercapacitors are contrasted with the costs of lithium ion batteries and the costs of flywheels in the chart below. A typical supercapacitor stores about 15 seconds of energy, for a capex cost of $10,000/kWh, but just $40/kW of power.
Automotive, renewable energy, consumer electronics, and industrial sectors are the primary users of supercapacitors, with high-power storage and efficiency as key focus areas. Shifts toward electrification, renewable integration, and compact energy solutions directly affect operational performance and cost savings for end users.
