Japan Electric Capacitor Market: Trends, Growth & Forecast 2027

The Japan electric capacitors market was evaluated at US$1,696.240 million in 2020. Key growth drivers anticipated for the 2022-2027 forecast period include the growing demand for electric capacitors across the automotive industry, the rising adoption of supercapacitors in the electronics sector, and government initiatives aimed at boosting electric vehicle production within the country.

Supercapacitors are identified as a prime reason supporting market growth in Japan. Their demand is surging across both the consumer electronics industry for devices like laptops, smartphones, LED lights, and wearable devices, as well as within the automotive sector. This growth is further fueled by rapid innovation and supportive government initiatives.

The automotive industry is a major growth driver, with Japan actively developing electric vehicle (EV) mobility. Collaborations such as Toyota's partnership with Mazda to advance EV technology, coupled with government initiatives to sell all new electric and hybrid vehicles by 2050 and offer subsidies for EV components, are significantly increasing the demand for electric capacitors across the country.

The report indicates Japan's ambition to become a leader in the electric capacitors market and challenge China's dominance. A notable strategic move is Murata, a leading Japanese capacitor manufacturer, deciding to shift its production facility out of China. Additionally, Tokyo is inviting semiconductor manufacturers from developed countries to establish bases in Japan, aiming to bolster domestic production.

The Japanese government is proactively creating opportunities through initiatives like inviting semiconductor manufacturers to set up facilities in Japan and promoting electric vehicle production with ambitious targets for electric and hybrid vehicle sales by 2050. Technologically, the installation of large supercapacitors, such as 4MW systems in commercial buildings to decrease peak grid consumption, also presents a significant growth avenue.
