Additionally, the rise in demand for micro-supercapacitors is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the growth of the supercapacitor industry during the forecast period.

Supercapacitor Market Overview

Supercapacitors, or ultracapacitors, utilize high surface area electrode materials and thin electrolytic dielectrics to attain higher capacitance values. They have more capacitance than conventional capacitors and store additional energy. Supercapacitors can be of numerous types, such as pseudo, double-layer, and hybrid capacitors. They can be used for several end-user industries, such as energy and utilities, consumer electronics, industrial, and automotive. Supercapacitors store 10 to 100 times the power stored in ordinary electrolytic capacitors and are used for speedy charge & discharge, as they display zero resistance. These can be characterized between capacitor and battery in the electric device arrangement and are used as supplements with conventional batteries that can also be used for interim backup supply, as supercapacitor circuits aid with uninterrupted power supply.

Supercapacitor is an advanced technology for numerous energy storage systems, which can deliver advanced power density compared to batteries and higher energy density over traditional capacitors. Solar lighting and solar PV panels are feasible areas where supercapacitor usage is increasing rapidly. Furthermore, solar panels are used in both modes, online and offline, for which supercapacitors are reliable options. Environment-friendliness being a priority, there is a heightened awareness among users of energy storage equipment about minimizing emissions. Major companies are increasing their efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and representing market growth for alternative energy techniques. Among all energy storage devices, supercapacitors cause minimum environmental damage. All materials in an electrochemical double-layer capacitor are made of biodegradable carbon.
