The growth of the global conductive polymer capacitor market is driven by rising demand from the automotive industry for applications such as electric power steering systems, and increasing integration of conductive polymer capacitors in consumer electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets for functions such as power management and noise filtering. The market is gaining traction owing to properties offered by conductive polymer capacitors such as high energy density, small size, light weight, and resistance to moisture and voltage. Moreover, ongoing replacement of film capacitors with conductive polymer capacitors in numerous industrial applications due to their superior functionality and performance is expected to propel the market growth during the forecast period.

Miniaturization of devices

The miniaturization of consumer electronics has been one of the biggest drivers for innovation in recent years. As devices get smaller and compact, the demand for smaller components that can fit into tight spaces has also increased significantly. Conductive polymer capacitors have emerged as one of the ideal solutions owing to their flexibility and small size. Unlike traditional ceramic and electrolytic capacitors, conductive polymer capacitors can be manufactured in very small dimensions without compromising on performance. This property has made them very attractive for use in various portable devices such as smartphones, tablets, wearables, and other consumer electronics.

As smartphone and tablet manufacturers strive to make devices thinner and lighter with each new generation, the internal components also need to shrink in order to free up more internal space. Conductive polymer capacitors have enabled device manufacturers to design ultra-thin and slim devices by occupying minimal space on the circuit board. Their small footprint combined with high energy density allows fitting more capacitance into tight spaces inside compact devices. This has significantly boosted their use in applications such as power management circuits, audio circuits, and other areas where precise capacitance is required in less space. The miniaturization trend is further motivating smartphone and tablet manufacturers to completely replace larger conventional types of capacitors with ultra-thin conductive polymer capacitors.
