Summary

Capacitors are devices capable of storing electrical charges. Ceramic capacitors are the most popular type of capacitors. They have become ubiquitous and can be found attached to every printed circuit board together with active components (e.g., transistors) and other passive devices (e.g., inductors and resistors). Ceramic capacitors are made from various ceramic materials (mostly titanates) formulated to achieve a range of electrical properties, including capacitance value, dissipation factor, insulation resistance, and temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC).

BCC Research has identified nine main industry segments in which ceramic capacitors have current and potential uses: aerospace and space exploration, automotive, communications, computers and peripherals, consumer products, defense, entertainment, industrial, and medical.

This study highlights the latest developments in ceramic capacitor technology, including material types, fabrication processes and applications. It also offers a detailed market analysis for ceramic capacitors by segment (capacitor type, material type, application, and region), describing technical aspects and trends that will affect future growth of this market.

As shown in the Summary Table, the global market for ceramic capacitors increased from REDACTED in 2016 to REDACTED in 2017 and is estimated to be valued at REDACTED by the end of 2018, corresponding to a CAGR of REDACTED during the two-year period.

Currently, the two largest segments are communications, and computers and peripherals. Sales of ceramic capacitors for communications accounted for an estimated REDACTED of the total in 2018, corresponding to REDACTED. Within this sector, ceramic capacitors aremainly used for the fabrication of mobile phones.

Computers and peripherals are projected to generate total revenues of nearly REDACTED in 2018, equal to REDACTED of the total. The remaining seven application fields are also quite large with sales of ceramic capacitors within these segments currently valued at less than REDACTED each.
