Automotive Ultracapacitor Market Demand Drivers: What’s Powering Industry Growth?
Future expansion of the automotive ultracapacitor market is anticipated due to the rising demand for electric vehicles. An electric vehicle (EV) operates on electricity, unlike traditional vehicles that use internal combustion engines powered by gasoline or diesel. Within electric vehicles, automotive ultracapacitors serve to enhance performance, extend battery longevity, and provide an emergency backup power source. Illustrating this trend, data from April 2024 by the International Energy Agency, a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, revealed that approximately 14 million new electric cars were registered worldwide in 2023, increasing the global fleet to 40 million vehicles in operation. The share of electric vehicles in total car sales reached about 18%, a rise from 14% recorded in 2022. Specifically, China saw new electric car registrations hit 8.1 million, representing a 35% growth compared to the prior year. Consequently, the expanding demand for electric vehicles is a key factor propelling the expansion of the automotive ultracapacitor market.

Automotive Ultracapacitor Market Innovation Trends: What Developments Are Reshaping The Industry?
Major companies operating in the automotive ultracapacitor market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as high-performance supercapacitors, to provide reliable services to their customers and strengthen their market position. A high-performance supercapacitor is a type of supercapacitor that features high specific capacitance and power density. In March 2023, KEMET Corporation, a US-based capacitor technology manufacturer, launched the FMU Series, a high-performance supercapacitor designed for vehicle electronics. This series offers an industry-leading operational temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and provides 1,000 hours at 85°C/85% RH-rated voltage. These supercapacitors have been tested in accordance with an automotive testing procedure. Manufactured in an ISO TS 16949-certified factory, these capacitors undergo PPAP (production part approval process)/PSW (part submission warrant) and change control. They are ideal for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), driverless cars, and central gateway electronic control units (ECUs) that require a main power system backup during a power outage.
