By power type, the market includes:

• Less than 10 Volts
• 10 Volts to 25 Volts Modules
• 25 Volts to 50 Volts Modules
• 50 Volts to 100 Volts Modules
• Above 100 Volts Modules

Based on application, the market is segmented into:

• Automotive
• Industrial
• Energy
• Electronics

The regional markets for ultracapacitors can be divided into:

• North America
• Europe
• Asia-Pacific
• Latin America
• Middle East and Africa

Growth in Electronics and Automotive Industries Boosting the Market Growth of Ultracapacitors

The ultracapacitors industry has been driven by the rapid growth in demand for electronics products such as laptops and smartphones. The increased internet penetration augmented the demand for smartphones, communication devices, network hardware, and computers, thereby increasing the demand for ultracapacitors. The market growth can also be attributed to the product’s usage in automotive applications, thus, driving the market within the automotive sector. The increasing popularity of hybrid and electric vehicles and increased investment in mass rapid transport systems in many developed and developing countries globally is contributing to the growth of the global market for ultracapacitors. Long shelf life, battery longevity, and a capacitor with a fast-charging option are the other factors that have further contribute to the growth of the ultracapacitors industry.

The rising use of ultracapacitors in trains and aircraft is anticipated to drive the industry growth. The industry is also expected to grow due to the increasing demand for renewable energy sources and favourable government regulations. An increase in gasoline demand for fuel-efficient modes of transportation is further projected to augment the market growth. The market is also witnessing the rising need for ultracapacitors used for energy re-filling in buses, trams, and trains, owing to a strong demand for energy-efficient products. Thus, the increasing use of ultracapacitors in solar and wind energy applications is expected to increase the growth opportunities for the ultracapacitors industry.
