Global Vacuum Capacitors Market 2016-2020

Overview of the global vacuum capacitors market

Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global vacuum capacitors market will grow steadily during the next four years and will post a CAGR of more than 12% by 2020. This market research analysis identifies the rise in demand for flat panel displays as one of the primary factors driving the growth of this market. Technological advances in the media and communications industry, the growth in broadband and mobile internet infrastructure, and the easy availability of high-end communication and entertainment devices have resulted in the increased consumption of high definition (HD) and ultra-high definition (UHD) videos, which in turn, led to the rise in demand for HD and 4K televisions. Since vacuum capacitors are widely used in the impedance matching networks in flat panel displays, this rising demand for HD televisions will propel the growth of the market in the next four years.

The introduction of vacuum capacitors for solar applications will be one of the major trends that will gain traction in this market in the next four years. The rising demand for energy across the globe will induce countries around the world to focus on the extensive usage of renewable energy. This will induce capacitor manufacturers to manufacture capacitors that are specifically used for solar applications. One of the leading market players COMET, has already launched capacitors such as Uni-Solar and Power-Solar, designed exclusively for solar and industrial applications.
