Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor Market Segmentation:
Type Segment Analysis
The general capacitor segment is expected to account for a market share of 43.5% by the end of 2036, owing to the growing demand in gaming machines, cellular telephones, TVs, LCDs, and other electronic products. Therefore, the segment is expected to keep its dominance throughout the forecast period with the expansion of the consumer electronics industry. The global expansion of the automotive sector, with the rapid adoption of EVs, is also accelerating the use of general capacitors. These capacitors are essential to store energy, smooth voltage, and couple signals. As revealed by the India Brand Equity Foundation in April 2024, the government is committed to making the proportion of new vehicle sales 30% among all the new vehicles that will be sold by 2030.
Case Size Segment Analysis
The less than 0603 inches segment is anticipated to acquire a market share of 47.6% by 2036, due to the accelerating demand for miniaturized components. The compatibility of these MLCCs with the process of automotive manufacturing also fuels the dominance of the segment in the global market, especially when there is a growing need to produce EVs and hybrid vehicles. Key players in the market are also investing in the production of the MLCCs with the case size of less than 0603 inches. For instance, in March 2025, KYOCERA AVX introduced a high-capacity MLCC with a case size of 0402-inch and capacitance value of 47µF. The MLCC will be produced in mass from December 2025.
End use Segment Analysis
The consumer electronics segment is projected to hold a revenue share of 32.9% during the study period, as a consequence of the high demand for MLCCs in the production of smartphones, tablets, TVs, laptops, and other items. The use of MLCCs is also growing with the production of IoT-based connected consumer electronics products. For instance, in June 2023, Apple launched Vision Pro. It is an IoT-based connected device that blends digital content with the physical world to enhance user experiences. The need for advanced data processing in these consumer electronic items is fueling the demand for MLCC. MLCCs in electronic devices minimize signal interference and enhance data transfer.
