Global Power and Utilities MLCC Market Trends
Stringent emission standards are expected to increase demand
- Inverter shipments increased from 62296.3 million units in 2021 to 93412.9 million units in 2022. MLCCs use a temperature-compensating ceramic with minimal capacitance variation, making them ideal for use as components in snubber circuits used in inverters that handle large voltages during switching and where compactness and heat tolerance are required.
- With growing stringent emission standards globally, automakers are gradually shifting their production from conventional engine vehicles to hybrid and electric vehicles. Inverters of various varieties, including traction inverters and soft-switching inverters, are used in electric vehicles for a variety of applications. Governments in various countries are spending heavily on electric mobility projects and encouraging customers to adopt electric vehicles, which will provide an opportunity for electric vehicle power inverter manufacturers. The rise in the demand for electric vehicles is also expected to increase the sales of the components used in electric vehicles, such as power inverters. Power generation from solar PV increased by a record 179 TWh in 2021, marking 22% growth in 2020. Solar PV accounted for 3.6% of global electricity generation, and it remains the third largest renewable electricity technology behind hydropower and wind. With the rising concerns over pollution worldwide due to industrialization, governments are introducing policies to drive solar PV deployment. For instance, in August 2022, the federal government of the United States introduced the Inflation Reduction Act, a law significantly expanding support for renewable energy in the next 10 years through tax credits and other measures.

Increasing utilization of smart lighting in various applications
- LED shipments increased from 1.3 million units in 2021 to 2.65 million units in 2022. MLCCs are used in LEDs to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) and provide DC supply smoothing and acoustic noise reduction. MLCCs used in LEDs typically need to meet specific electrical and environmental requirements, such as high capacitance values, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), high voltage ratings, and appropriate temperature stability.
- LED lighting can be used in various applications, including commercial and residential, automotive, decorative, and outdoor lighting. The rising population leading to rising residential and commercial construction is one of the major factors that has increased the demand for various basic amenities, especially power. The COVID-19 pandemic harmed the global economy. The demand for LED lighting was lowered due to construction site suspensions and lockdowns. However, the second half of 2021 witnessed a surge in construction due to the launch of new and upgraded projects, contributing to the industry's steady recovery for LED lighting.
- In 2021, electricity consumption by lighting in the residential and services sectors grew by around 5%, which drove the increase in emissions. Although several countries began to phase out incandescent bulbs more than 10 years ago, many are now beginning to phase out fluorescent lighting to make LEDs the leading lighting technology while saving significant CO2 emissions.
