Global Supercapacitors/Ultracapacitors Market Definition

Electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), commonly referred to as supercapacitors or ultracapacitors, are energy storage technologies that have a rapid and effective energy storage and energy release process. Although they resemble traditional capacitors, their capacitance is substantially higher, allowing them to store far more energy per unit of volume. Supercapacitors store energy electrostatic interactions instead of chemically like batteries can, which enables them to charge and discharge far more quickly than batteries. This qualifies them for uses such electric vehicles, renewable energy systems,and consumer electronics, which need high power and quick discharge times.

The rising use of renewable energy sources and electric vehicles (EVs) is one of the major factors influencing this rise. Due to their ability to store and release energy quickly, which is essential for meeting the high power requirements of EVs and minimising swings in renewable energy generation, supercapacitors are well suited for these applications. Furthermore, the rising need for portable electronics and consumer electronics is another element boosting the supercapacitor market. Small devices like smartwatches and

earbuds can be powered by supercapacitors, and they can also be used in combination with batteries to provide faster charging and longer lifespan. However, high cost of it and temperature limitation associated with supercapacitors/ultracapacitors may hamper the market growth. Overall, it is anticipated that the supercapacitor market would expand over the next years due to the rising demand for energy storage solutions that are effective, dependable, and affordable.

Global Supercapacitors/Ultracapacitors Market Overview

The increasing global demand for Electric Vehicles (EVs) is a chief driver for the growth of the supercapacitors market. Supercapacitors are utilized in electric vehicles for start-stop purposes and also aid in energy storage in conjunction with battery packs. In recent years, electric vehicles have been gaining traction in the automotive industry owing to its use of non-renewable energy and environmental sustainability. However, these vehicles are always facing challenges of matching the traditional fuel-based vehicle in terms of speed, mileage, weight, overall efficiency among others, thereby limiting its adoption to a larger customer base. Battery based EVs are facing challenges such as battery efficiency. Effect of the weight of battery packs on the overall weight of vehicles, among others. Batteries cannot fulfil the overall and increasing energy requirement of EVs. Their high internal resistance limits their initial peak current, whereas such factors are absent in supercapacitors making them an ideal product.

The growth of the supercapacitors/ultracapacitors market is hindered by its high cost, thereby limiting its use in a number of possible applications. The materials such as activated carbons that are utilized in the covering of electrodes contribute greatly to the high cost of the overall supercapacitors. Supercapacitor's grade activated carbons are estimated to cost over USD 15 per kgs, indicating the high cost of the resulting product. The high cost of supercapacitors also affects its adoption cost in terms of per Watt-hour. As per research, non-aqueous based supercapacitors can cost up to USD 2400/KWh, which is much higher than the conventional and lit ion batteries. The material cost is estimated to occupy over 70 % of the total supercapacitors cost, while the remaining 30% of the production. However, several efforts are underway to minimize the cost and make supercapacitors more adoptable.
