Supercapacitor is an electronic device with higher capacitance compared to normal capacitors. Features such as high capacitance density, lower cost per farad, wide operating temperature, reliability, and safe operation make supercapacitors imperative for an energy-efficient environment.

Increase in usage of supercapacitor in automobiles & energy sector, decline in cost of supercapacitors, and longer life span are the factors that fuel the market growth. Rise in demand for electric/hybrid electric vehicles due to stringent government regulations regarding emissions is projected to foster the growth of the supercapacitors market. However, lack of awareness about appropriate implementation of supercapacitors across various application segments significantly hinders the market growth.

Presently in 2016, automotive segment shows high rate of adoption of supercapacitors due to increase in demand for electric/hybrid electric vehicle. Energy harvesting and mining are other segments that present progressive growth of the overall supercapacitor market.

The report segments the global supercapacitor market on the basis of module type, application, and geography.
