1、The global market for aluminum electrolytic capacitors is experiencing a steady growth trend.
Driven by demand in downstream electronics sectors, the global aluminum electrolytic capacitor market has experienced steady growth. Data indicates that the market size was approximately $5.92 billion in 2015, increased to $6.27 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $6.33 billion in 2021.
Note: The data regarding the global aluminum electrolytic capacitor market size is sourced from the China Electronic Components Association. The market size data for China from 2019 to 2020 is derived from the 2020 annual report of Aihua Group. Therefore, there are discrepancies between the global market size for 2019-2020 and the statistical standards of the Chinese industry market.
2、The primary suppliers of electrolytic capacitors are mainly located in Asia
The primary manufacturers of aluminum electrolytic capacitors are mainly located in Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and mainland China. In recent years, Japan has maintained a leading position in the global aluminum electrolytic capacitor industry, with three of the top five manufacturers being Japanese companies: Chemi-con, Nichicon, and Rubycon.
3、Leading business in Japanese aluminum electrolytic capacitor companies
In the global market for aluminum electrolytic capacitors, Japanese companies hold a leading position both in terms of scale and technology. In terms of revenue, NCC (Nippon Chemi-Con) and Nichicon rank first and second worldwide. Following rapid development in China's aluminum electrolytic capacitor industry over the past few years, two leading companies from mainland China have surpassed their counterparts in Taiwan and South Korea, with their revenues now ranking third and fifth globally.
The prices of international aluminum electrolytic capacitors have remained relatively stable. Between 2018 and 2020, the prices internationally ranged from approximately 0.5 to 0.52 yuan per unit, while the export prices of aluminum electrolytic capacitors from China were only between 0.13 and 0.15 yuan per unit. Japan, as the leading country in global aluminum electrolytic capacitor products, focuses on high-end products primarily used in the automotive and industrial sectors. Following Japan, South Korea and Taiwan produce mainly mid to high-end products. Consequently, the international unit price of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is relatively high, whereas China's aluminum electrolytic capacitor industry predominantly offers mid to low-end products at comparatively lower prices.
Note: The price of aluminum electrolytic capacitors in China refers to the export unit price, while the international price pertains to the import unit price.
