Overall, 2014 is expected to be a great year for the supercapacitor industry. This is the prediction of technology market analyst IDTechEx which looked at last year's industry results and estimated a 30% CAGR for the supercapacitor market in the next 10 years. The supercapacitor market will reach a value of $6bn in 2024.
In an application segment such as transportation, the supercapacitor market leader Maxwell Technologies increased its supercapacitor sales revenue by 42% in 2013.
The company now has a constant source of revenue in the automotive segment, mostly through the sales of supercapacitorsUnconventional internal design yields a larger capacitanceThat property of a system of conductors and dielectrics which permits the storage of electricity when potential difference exists between the conductors. Its value is expressed as the ratio of a quantity of electricity to a potential difference. A capacitance value is always positive. per unit volume than other types. Valuable for high-current and low frequencyThe number of complete cycles or vibrations per unit of time. Rate of alternation in an AC current. Expressed in cycles per second or hertz (Hz). electrical circuits, power supply filters, etc. Applications are similar to those of rechargeable batteries. for stop stop-start systems to PSA Peugeot Citroen through the Tier1 supplier Continental, and is aiming to increase its market penetration in the following years.
It is worth mentioning that the Peugeot 308 with a supercapacitor based stop-start system was selected as the European Car of the Year 2014. IDTechEx estimates the value of this market at $2.4bn in 2024 and Maxwell Technologies is not the only company pursuing this potential.
Incumbent players include Cap-XX, Nisshinbo, Hutchinson (Total Group), Ioxus, Yunasko and Armor Group among others.
Many supercapacitor companies have announced the interest of multiple parties from the global automotive industry in their large prismatic supercapacitor. Standardisation processes are running in parallel, an example of this was the Chrysler/SAE presentation, at IDTechEx's SupercapacitorsUnconventional internal design yields a larger capacitanceThat property of a system of conductors and dielectrics which permits the storage of electricity when potential difference exists between the conductors.
