Capacitors Market For Medical Devices Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Capacitors Market Analysis

The Capacitors Market For Medical Devices Industry is expected to grow from USD 1.25 billion in 2024 to USD 1.54 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 4.20% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

In diagnostic, imaging, patient monitoring, medication administration, and dispensing applications, passive components play a significant role in medical systems. For instance, implanted medical electronics are often powered by batteries or capacitors that must be removed from the body once they have served their purpose since they are not biodegradable.

• Capacitors are used in implanted medical equipment like pacemakers, insulin pumps, and defibrillators, as well as portable and wearable ones like electrocardiograms, ultrasound echo machines, and blood gas analyzers. High dependability, a long service life, and passing rigorous screening tests are all requirements. Today, meeting consumer demand frequently entails miniaturization, capacitor design, and material improvements.
• Electronic devices such as bionic implants or artificial organs perform like biological organisms. The artificial kidney, bio-lung, and artificial pancreas are a few well-known medical bionics currently being produced or developed. The need for medical electronics in the class-III device category is being driven by the expanding elderly population, which is also propelling technological breakthroughs in the field of bionic implants.
• Along with implantables, the need for portable and wearable medical technology has grown as medicine starts to leave the confines of the traditional environment. To improve patients' quality of life, conventional benchtop equipment are being downsized and become increasingly wearable and implantable. For instance, a conventional cochlear implant gives patients who are profoundly deaf a feeling of sound. The implant is a little device, therefore using a more portable, high-reliability capacitor is necessary for this size range. These trends will drive the market growth for the capacitors in manufacturing the medical devices.
• The cost of raw materials, which is a variable cost, is the highest one involved in the manufacture of capacitors. Profit margins may suffer from changes in price or availability for these essential feedstocks. Tantalum capacitors are often chosen for applications with capacitance ranges at or above 10 μF in the medical industry, whereas MLCCs are typically thought to be the best option for applications with capacitance ranges below 1 μF. It is anticipated that in 2023, the cost of the metals like copper, Nickel is continue to rise which can impact the production of required capacitors during the projected period.

Capacitors Industry Segmentation

A vast variety of electronic systems, including smartphones, home appliances, electric cars, and medical devices, depend on capacitors. High dependability is required for capacitors used in life-supporting and non-life-supporting medical equipment, and they must pass rigorous screening tests. Medical devices, both implanted and not, can employ a variety of passive components. Implantable medical devices have the highest performance requirements, even though all medical applications need small, very reliable capacitors.

The capacitors market for medical devices is segmented by type (ceramic capacitors, aluminum electrolytic capacitors, tantalum capacitors, paper and plastic film capacitor, EDLC, and others (obstetrical, neurology, physical medicine, general and plastic surgery, among others)), by application (cardiovascular, radiology, general hospital, and ENT & dental), and by geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World). The market sizes and forecasts are provided in terms of value in USD for all the above segments.
