Automotive MLCC Market by EV Application, Voltage Range, Vehicle Type, Dielectric Type, Type, Application (Powertrain, Steering System, Infotainment, Lighting, Body Control Module and ADAS & Safety) and Region - Global Forecast to 2027
Automotive Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) is widely used in on-board electrical and electronic circuits. These are not only used in automotive industry but all applications where reliability is priority. They are essential components that are responsible for smooth execution of the various electrical and electronic circuits utilized in cars. High voltage MLCCs are used in onboard inverter, onboard AC/DC Convertor, BMS circuits and onboard charger in a BEV. They are made of alternating layers of metallic electrodes and dielectric ceramic. Additionally, automotive MLCCs must offer a small size and high capacitance like those found in smartphones. MLCC integrated in automotives are linked to a higher degree of quality and are entirely different from the MLCCs used in consumer electronics.
The global automotive MLCC market size is expected to grow from USD xx million in 2022 to USD xx million in 2027, at a CAGR of xx%. The increase in integration of electronic devices in automobiles, such as engines, powertrains and infotainment systems, is accelerating the demand for automotive MLCC.
Drivers: Increase in use of MLCC in BEV vehicles is expected to drive the market
According to world’s largest MLCC manufacturers Murata and Taiyo Yuden, Tesla Model S and Model X both have over 10,000 MLCCs, whereas the Tesla Model 3 has over 9,000 MLCCs. By 2025, this number is anticipated to rise to an average of 16,000 MLCC per BEV. Modern EVs, HEVs, and PHEVs are bringing a revolution in capacitor technology targeting subsystem electronics. On the other hand, in ICE vehicles, around 3,000-5,000 MLCCs are present. The use of ceramic MLCCs in EV subsystems is growing because traditional plastic film capacitors are no longer appropriate for all applications due to the increased temperatures inside the control circuits. The advancement in EVs is also increasing the complimenting the development of self-driving cars. Subsequently, integration of MLCC will increase with integration of ADAS system in EVs.
Opportunities: Integration of IoT, AI and cloud in automobiles is offering growth opportunities for MLCC
The integration of IoT and AI require more advanced electrical and electronic systems which is likely to increase technical requirements of MLCCs. The demand for miniature, high capacitance and low inductance MLCC will increase in the coming future as these MLCC are suitable for integration in automation and connectivity. Electronic control units (ECUs) are increasingly needed to meet the demands of automation and connectivity in vehicles. As a result, automobile manufacturers must fit more components into a given space. Accordingly, the demand for compact capacitors with high capacitance values is the main trend in the automobile industry. This is likely to drive Automotive MLCC market in near future.
Challenge: Increasing prices of Palladium and Nickel due to uncertainties in global situation is expected to impact the growth of market
Palladium and Nickel are both obtained in significant quantities from a single mining operation in Siberia, tensions in eastern Europe have influenced their prices. In MLCC electrodes, palladium and nickel are utilised. All printed circuit boards use MLCCs, which are the workhorse of the passive components sector. Consumer and business electronic sub-assemblies use MLCCs with nickel electrodes, whereas high reliability electronics use MLCCs with palladium electrodes. Given that nickel and palladium are main components for manufacturing of Automotive MLCC, the high cost of these metals are affecting the market, In March 2022 nickel jumped a whopping 90% to over $55,000 per metric ton now with sudden spike in their prices is expected to impact the market growth.
