Paper & Plastic Film Capacitors Ride High on Energy Efficiency Goals in Power Electronics

Growing focus on achieving energy efficiency in power electronics in consumer and industrial electronics segments is poised to drive the global market for Paper & Plastic Film Capacitors to reach US$2.8 billion by 2022. While ceramic and aluminum capacitors dominate the global capacitors market, paper and plastic film capacitors, although accounting for a smaller share is attracting considerable demand from key electronic segments. Paper & plastic film capacitors find use in wide range of electronic equipment and are also used in many AC and DC electronics and microelectronics circuits. Compared to ceramic and aluminum electrolytic capacitors, paper and plastic film capacitors possess novel properties that make them highly suitable for use in several general-purpose and industrial applications. Film capacitors have very low ESL and ESR values and despite being physically larger and expensive than aluminum electrolytic capacitors, these capacitors have higher surge and pulse load capabilities. As they are not polarized, film capacitors can be used in AC voltage applications without DC bias as they tend to display more stable electrical parameters. Film capacitors are commonly used in electronic circuits, for power factor correction, and as EMI/RFI suppression in the electronics industry.

Major end-use markets for paper & film capacitors include government & utilities, motor manufacturing, industrial drive manufacturing, renewable energy production, outdoor light manufacturing, microwave manufacturing, home theater & CATV equipment manufacturing, power supply device manufacturing, lighting ballast manufacturing, line voltage equipment manufacturing etc. Special type of film capacitors are also used in oil & gas equipment, aerospace equipment and defense equipment manufacturing. Plastic film capacitors have emerged to be highly popular, finding applications in electronic segments where ceramic and aluminum electrolytic capacitors have been traditionally dominant. One of the major factors driving growth in the market is the rising demand for electronics that are more energy efficient.  Film capacitors will especially find huge demand as the world moves towards making power electronics more energy efficient. Applications of paper and plastic film capacitors in the manufacture of power electronics are wide ranging. For instance, they are used in power electronics for interference suppression, pulsed power, power-factor correction, circuit protection and filtering, among several other areas.

As stated by the new market research report on Paper and Plastic Film Capacitors, China represents the largest market worldwide, led by the rapid growth of the country’s huge electronics manufacturing industry and the presence of major industrial, commercial and consumer electronics manufacturing companies.  Further the report identifies Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan & China) as the fastest growing market, trailing at a CAGR of 4.4% over the review period.

Major players in the market include AVX Corporation, Cornell Dubilier Electronics Inc., Custom Electronics Inc, Electro Technik Industries Inc, Hitachi AIC Inc., KEMET Corporation, Murata Manufacturing Co. Ltd., Nantong Jianghai Capacitor Co. Ltd., Nichicon Corporation, Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation, Panasonic Corporation, Rubycon Corp., TDK Corporation, Vishay Intertechnology Inc., and WIMA GmbH & Co. KG, among others.

The global market for Material Handling Equipment is projected to reach US$190.3 billion by 2025, driven by the strong emphasis shed on production and operational efficiency and worker safety. The concept of “last mile” is widely popularized in supply chain management and transportation planning for its ability to increase customer satisfaction and profitability. Automation, optimization and delivery route planning are therefore vital strategies adopted by companies to improve their last mile performance. Of equal importance are the “first mile” operations involving indoor material handling on the plant floor. Raw material being the primary and most importance element in manufacturing needs to move through multiple stages of production and final packaging in a smooth and seamless manner to prevent logistical bottlenecks in production. Timely handling of materials is important to ensure that right materials in right quantities are delivered to the right locations at the right ti
