The growth in the historic period can be attributed to energy efficiency regulations, demand from utility and industrial sectors, government initiatives and investments, interconnection of grids, urbanization and electricity demand.
The HVDC capacitor market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.77 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of HVDC transmission systems, renewable energy growth, grid modernization initiatives, increasing urbanization and electricity demand, innovation in capacitor design. Major trends in the forecast period include energy storage integration, advancements in HVDC, interconnection of regional grids, government initiatives and investments, focus on grid stability and efficiency.
The HVDC capacitors market is poised for growth due to the increasing global demand for electricity. As a fundamental form of energy, electricity consumption has witnessed a significant rise, driven by various sectors. High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems utilize power capacitors with high-current capability to maintain stable voltage during the long-distance transmission of electricity in HV grids. For instance, in the UK, electricity consumption surged by 11% in June 2022, as reported by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. Similarly, in India, electricity generation for the fiscal year 2021-22 increased by 7.96%, with a subsequent rise in demand in fiscal year 2022-23. This escalating demand for electricity is a key driver propelling the growth of the HVDC capacitors market.
The HVDC capacitor market is experiencing significant growth owing to the increased adoption of renewable energy sources. Renewable energy, derived from natural sources like wind and solar, is being integrated into power grids using HVDC transmission systems. HVDC systems offer advantages such as reduced transmission loss compared to AC overhead lines, making them an attractive choice for long-distance power transmission. The International Energy Agency forecasts a substantial global growth of 2400 gigawatts in renewable power capacity from 2022 to 2027. This surge in renewables is expected to surpass coal and become the largest source of global electricity by early 2025. Consequently, the HVDC capacitor market is expected to benefit from the ongoing shift toward renewable energy.
Key players in the HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) capacitor market are prioritizing the development of innovative products, such as high-value high-voltage combined aluminum capacitors, to enhance their revenue streams. These capacitors merge the features of aluminum electrolytic capacitors and aluminum-polymer capacitors, providing distinct advantages for high-voltage applications. For example, in December 2022, Vishay Intertechnology Inc., a U.S.-based electronics manufacturer, introduced the 202 PML-ST series of high-value, high-voltage screw terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitors. This series is engineered to enable designers to store more energy within a smaller footprint, offering 11 compact package sizes that range from 35 mm x 60 mm to 90 mm x 220 mm. The new series boasts higher capacitance/voltage (CV) values compared to earlier models, with ripple current capabilities reaching up to 49.6 A, an equivalent series resistance (ESR) as low as 2 mΩ, and a lifespan of up to 10,000 hours at +85 °C.
Major companies in the HVDC capacitor market are entering strategic partnerships and collaborations to strengthen their positions. In November 2022, Hitachi Energy, a Switzerland-based energy solutions company, partnered with Equinor, a Norway-based energy company. The collaboration aims to accelerate the energy transition by providing standardized base designs for HVDC and AC transmission networks. These networks link Equinor's production facilities and offshore wind farms to mainland power grids, contributing to a more sustainable, flexible, and secure energy system. Collaborations of this nature are instrumental in advancing technology and fostering growth within the HVDC capacitor market.
