Impact of COVID-19 on current multilayer ceramic capacitor market size and forecast
The outbreak and widespread of COVID-19 caused a major setback to export-oriented economies owing to the shut down of manufacturing plants in 2020. It hampered the growth of the MLCC market due to delays in 5G base station deployments, manufacturing/launch of new EVs, and developments of connected vehicles. COVID-19 also led to delays in procurements and supplies in 2021. However, the rise in the demand for MLCCs from the electronics and telecommunications end-user industries lessened the negative effects of the pandemic crisis on the growth of the MLCC market in late 2020 and early 2021.
The increase in demand for electronics such as laptops, smartphones, computers, printers, smart wearables, healthcare devices, webcams, and headphones due to the implementation of work from home policies globally fueled the demand for MLCCs in the electronics industry. In addition, the rise in internet usage accelerated the demand for MLCCs in the telecommunications industry. Considering these factors, it can be concluded that the growth of the global multilayer ceramic capacitor market did not decline but slowed down during the pandemic period. However, the market is expected to grow consistently in the post-COVID-19 period.
- Despite facing an unprecedented year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Murata (Japan) achieved record sales in 2020. Amid the global pandemic of COVID-19, Murata has played its role in the continuous global supply of electronic components including MLCCs. As a result, increased consumption of electronic/electrical devices (such as smartphones, laptops, PCs, tablets, smart wearables, and IoT devices) has boosted the sales of MLCCs and maintained the positive momentum for business in 2020.
- The commercial environment surrounding the TAIYO YUDEN (Japan) was exceedingly difficult due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic limiting the global economic activity. The global economy, which had experienced extraordinarily difficult conditions in the first quarter, showed signs of a slow recovery (the three-month period ended June 30, 2020). As the world recovered from the global pandemic in 2021, the recovery trend is projected to continue in the future.
Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor Market Dynamics
Driver : Growing demand from automotive industry due to advent of EVs
The automotive industry is one of the major end users of MLCCs. In recent years, automotive-grade MLCCs have gained popularity, which is predicted to fuel the entire MLCC market's growth. The increasing deployment of electronic devices in automobiles, such as engines, powertrains, and infotainment systems, is accelerating the demand for multilayer ceramic capacitors. Constant advances in the automotive industry demand component miniaturization, increase in capacitance, and improvements in safety features. Moreover, self-driving vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) used in cars inherently require MLCCs.
In fact, the number of MLCCs required in ADAS and EVs is much higher than in vehicles that run on petroleum and gases. As cars transition from internal combustion engines (ICEs) to battery electric vehicles (BEVs), the number of MLCCs employed increases, frequently by more than five times. BEVs are projected to use more than ~10,000 MLCCs. For example, BEV manufacturer TESLA’s (US) Model 3 car has over 9,000 MLCCs, and its Model S and X have over 10,000 MLCCs each. The growing demand for these components by automakers is encouraging specialized MLCC manufacturers to improve the performance of automotive-grade multilayer ceramic capacitor industry.
Restraint : Advanced micro-level technical competence required for developing MLCCs
Although the multilayer ceramic capacitor is one of the tiniest electronic components, it is a high-tech device with 500 to 600 dielectric and electrode layers. MLCCs require the most complicated manufacturing and lamination technology as compared to other passive chip components. The stacking of multiple layers of dielectrics in a short space is the underlying technology in the manufacturing of precise and reliable MLCCs. The multilayering is done due to the fact that the more layers are stacked, the more electricity can be stored.
The stacking of these layers of dielectrics requires the upmost skills and technological capabilities. In addition, the production method of stacking layers of dielectrics consistently is very critical. Multilayer ceramic capacitor companies OEMs such as Murata (Japan), Samsung Electro-Mechanics (South Korea), TDK (Japan), Taiyo Yuden (Japan), YAGEO (Taiwan), and Walsin Technology (Taiwan) have mastered the cutting-edge technologies in this field and their output accounts for more than ~85% of total global MLCC demand. Thus, it can be implied that at the microtechnology stage, the multilayer ceramic capacitor business has the highest entry barrier.
Opportunity : Emergence of Internet of Things (IoT)
The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) is generating a plethora of market prospects. Because of their inherent reliability and long service life, high-capacitance MLCCs are a perfect solution for IoT devices. MLCCs have a proven mean time to failure (MTTF) ranging from 10,000 to over 1,000,000 hours and offer low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and inductance (ESL). According to GSMA Mobile Economy 2021, the total number of IoT connection in North America alone is expected to reach 5.1 billion by 2025. According to GSMA Mobile Economy 2021, in terms of multilayer ceramic capacitor demand for IoT devices, North America is expected to lead the market through 2025. IoT devices are used to connect automotive infotainment systems, smart wearables, home IoT appliances, security cameras, smart entertainment devices, and other smart gadgets. In short, they enable systems to communicate and collaborate, resulting in increased efficiency and lower operational costs. The use of IoT devices has increased manifolds over the years, which is projected to boost demand for MLCCs even more.
Challenge : Challenges associated with miniaturization of MLCCs
The manufacturers of MLCCs are continuously looking for new ways to push the limitations of MLCC architecture because of the trend toward smaller and lighter electronic goods and components. Even when devices get smaller, there's a need for higher performance, as capacitors are engineered to have less losses and provide even greater efficiency. In such cases, ultra-thin MLCCs are widely used in even the smallest security devices, ranging from high-end patient monitoring systems to bank cards. In addition, the downsizing of MLCCs is critical in building a high-performance, versatile, and user-friendly 5G-enabled smartphone of the correct size. Electronic component producers, on the other hand, cannot simply skip forward in the downsizing of MLCCs. This is because, as component sizes shrink, user businesses will need to develop new mounting solutions to employ them. For example, mounters (mounting machines) that install components on printed circuit boards to be incorporated into electronic devices must be upgraded to accommodate small electronic components and enhance mounting accuracy. As a result, the downsizing of MLCCs must occur in tandem with the advancement of mounting technology. Furthermore, MLCCs face technical challenges that differ from those encountered in semiconductor miniaturization in terms of achieving smaller size and higher capacitances. The structure of MLCCs is made up of alternating layers of thin dielectric ceramic sheets and metal electrodes. The number of layers in modern MLCCs can reach several hundred. The ceramic sheet shrinks significantly after sintering, which is a particularly problematic component of MLCC manufacturing.
The C0G (NP0) dielectric type Class I MLCCs to dominate the market during the forecast period
The C0G (NP0) dielectric type is expected to dominate the Class I dielectric multilayer ceramic capacitor market during the forecast period. It is further expected to grow at the highest CAGR during 2022 and 2027. Unlike film capacitors, C0G MLCCs do not require special reflow profiles for surface installation. C0G MLCCs often have greater voltage ratings for a given capacitance inside a given case size.

It is further expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. C0G, a Class I dielectric type MLCC, is widely used in high-rated voltage applications as these MLCCs reach a withstand voltage of 1000 V & above. For instance, TDK (Japan) offers high rated voltage MLCCs with C0G dielectric. Through C0G features, these MLCCs reach a withstand voltage of 1000 V over the industry's widest capacitance range (1nF to 33nF). Murata (Japan), Samsung Electro-Mechanics (South Korea), TAIYO YUDEN (Japan), and YAGEO (Taiwan) are a few other key manufacturers that offers C0G dielectric type MLCCs with high rated voltage capacity. On the other hand, Class I U2J MLCC is a very stable dielectric material with a minor capacitance shift with respect to voltage, and a predictable and linear capacitance change with reference to ambient temperature with no aging impact. When compared to Class II dielectric materials, U2J is not sensitive to DC bias and retains over 99% of nominal dielectric strength at full rated voltage capacitance.
