Supercapacitor product layout forward-looking broad development prospects

Ultracapacitor is a new type of energy storage device between the traditional capacitor and battery. It has the characteristics of fast charge and discharge of capacitor and energy storage of battery. The capacitance of supercapacitors reaches farad level, which is hundreds or even millions of times that of traditional capacitors. At the same time, supercapacitors inherit the advantages of traditional capacitors such as high power density, short charge and discharge time, wide temperature range and long service life, and can be used repeatedly. Compared with other energy storage technologies, supercapacitors are more efficient and environmentally friendly, which is in line with the development trend of new energy.

From the perspective of downstream demand, ultracapacitors are mainly used in transportation, industry and new energy fields, among which the transportation field accounts for the largest proportion.

Benefiting from the increasing demand for ultracapacitors in power grid, rail transit, new energy buses and other downstream application fields, the scale of the global ultracapacitors market is growing rapidly.

According to DATA from QY Research, the global supercapacitor market reached 19.7 billion yuan in 2020 and is expected to reach 58.3 billion yuan in 2026, with a compound annual growth rate of 16.5%.

The concentration of domestic supercapacitor market is high, among which Maxwell, the leading enterprise in the United States, accounts for about 27%, CRRC Ningbo 20.9%, Alway Technology and Jianghai 10.6% and 9% respectively.

In the next few years, the downstream application fields of ultracapacitors are facing good opportunities, and the market scale will steadily increase.
