The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to energy efficiency regulations, demand from the utility and industrial sectors, government initiatives and investments, the interconnection of grids, and the impact of urbanization on electricity demand.

The global hvdc capacitor market is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.64 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be ascribed to the expansion of HVDC transmission systems, the increasing growth of renewable energy sources, grid modernization initiatives, the rising trends of urbanization and electricity demand, and ongoing innovation in capacitor design. Prominent trends expected in this period include the integration of energy storage solutions, advancements in HVDC technologies, the interconnection of regional grids, government initiatives and investments in the sector, and a heightened focus on ensuring 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.

Product innovation is a key trend in the HVDC capacitor market, with major companies focusing on the development of new products to enhance their market position. An example is the Vishay Polytech T50 series capacitors launched by Vishay Intertechnology in November 2021. These capacitor chips, molded with vPolyTan™ surface-mount polymer tantalum, demonstrate unique capabilities such as withstanding temperature humidity bias (THB) testing and operating effectively under high temperatures. The introduction of such innovative products contributes to the overall advancement and competitiveness of the HVDC capacitor market.

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.

In February 2023, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, a renowned Japan-based electronics and electrical equipment company, successfully acquired Scibreak AB for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move is geared towards enhancing the competitiveness of Mitsubishi's unified business. The focus is on collaborating closely to develop DCCB (Direct Current Circuit Breaker) technologies for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems. The aim is to support the growing global deployment of renewable energy. Scibreak AB, the acquired company, is based in Sweden and is recognized for its expertise in manufacturing high-voltage, fast-acting circuit breakers.
