Super Capacitors Market Trends

• Need for communication systems in telecom and space is driving market growth

For continuous operation, the charging and discharging of Super capacitors are crucial in supporting peak loads and backup power. Smart meters, smoke detectors, video doorbells, and other battery-operated industrial applications are included. Several vendors are introducing new products to support this. For example, Texas Instruments (TI) just unveiled a new bidirectional buck/boost converter with an IQ of 60 nA. The TPS61094 buck/boost converter also features a buck mode for super capacitor charging while delivering ultra-low IQ, allowing engineers to increase battery life by up to 20%. This is in contrast to frequently used hybrid-layer capacitors. (Hybrid-layer capacitors, or HLCs).

Based on current Super capacitor technology, more investigation is being done into creating inexpensive and creative solutions. It emphasizes the need to lower the cost of producing carbon-based electrodes and our dependence on key components while providing a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to the current models. For instance, scientists at Imperial College London and University College London (UCL) have recently created an electrode material for Super capacitors that is more energy-dense and environmentally friendly, paving the way for increased market adoption of high-power, quick-charging electric vehicle technology. The demand for Super capacitors has recently been driven by communication systems in telecom and space. At its Vikram Sarabhai Space Center (VSSC), the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) created the technology for processing Super capacitors (2.15 V) of various capacitance values, i.e., 5 F, 120 F, 350 F, and 500 F, addressing specific applications related to spatial requirements and societal requirements. In several ways, super capacitors are successfully used to increase the efficiency of hybrid electric vehicles.

For instance, Maxwell created a lead-acid battery connected to a super capacitor to swap out a conventional car battery. This application is based on the theory that high energy demands, like starting a car, reduce the battery's overall energy capacity. The business offers a line of super capacitor-based modules with a 3000°F operating temperature. Super capacitors have been sold for hybrid start-stop applications 600,000. Additionally, several market vendors have noticed increased sales in the electric vehicle sector, driving the growth of super capacitors in the automotive sector. For instance, EV volumes predicted sales of 10,6 million units for 2022, representing an increase of 57 percent over 2021, with BEVs reaching 8 million units and PHEVs 2,6 million units. Additionally, it was predicted that by the end of 2022, there would be close to 27 million EVs, including light vehicles, of which 70% would be BEVs and 30% PHEVs. Thus, driving the super capacitor’s market revenue.
