Market expansion is fueled by hybrid energy storage systems bridging batteries and capacitors, high-volume low-capacitance components for IoT and smart devices, and industrial-scale manufacturing ramp-ups across Europe and Asia. Asia-Pacific dominates with 54.4% market share, leveraging China’s scale, Japan’s precision, and South Korea’s R&D to drive global supply, positioning the supercapacitors market as a critical enabler of the electrified, connected world.
Chicago, Jan. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The global supercapacitors market was valued at 5.46 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach US$ 55.51 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 26.1% from 2026 to 2035.
Supercapacitors are a high-capacity energy storage device that bridge traditional capacitors and rechargeable batteries, storing energy electrostatically through double-layer capacitance at electrode-electrolyte interfaces rather than chemical reactions. They deliver 10-100 times higher energy per unit mass than electrolytic capacitors, with rapid charge-discharge rates (seconds), more than 1 million cycles, and superior power density, via lower energy density than batteries. The global energy storage landscape has moved beyond the simple battery-versus-capacitor debate. By late 2025, the supercapacitors market will have grown into a critical support infrastructure for the electrified world, characterized by aggressive cross-border trade and fierce technological warfare among top producers.

Global Supercapacitors Market Poised for Rapid Scaling as Supply Bottlenecks Disappear
European and Asian manufacturing expansions in 2025 have changed the global supercapacitors market, eliminated long-standing supply bottlenecks and positioning the sector for accelerated scaling. Skeleton Technologies’ €220 million “SuperFactory” in Leipzig now offers 12 million cells annually, 40 times more output than its earlier site, while advanced chemistries support 50,000+ cycles and sub‑90‑second charging.
These innovations are cascading into electrified transport, mining, and data center systems, achieving unparalleled durability and thermal safety across industries. Global deployment momentum is particularly evident in utility-scale and industrial applications, with China’s 100 MW hybrid supercapacitor plant in Shanxi setting new benchmarks for real-time grid frequency regulation (0.001 s response). Fast-payback models and protective hybrid cycling are solidifying investor confidence, while heavy machinery and rail systems showcase productivity gains through rapid recharge and regenerative energy recovery. Wind operators are equally benefiting, utilizing ultra‑durable capacitor modules that cut offshore maintenance and extend turbine life cycles, resulting in lower operating expenses.
Automotive and Data Centers Drive Demand for Hybrid Energy Recovery and Stabilization Systems
Combined supercapacitors have appeared as a dominant force, capturing the largest market share of 26.6% in the supercapacitors market. Such dominance stems from their capability to bridge the critical gap between the high energy density of batteries and the rapid power delivery of capacitors. Industry players like Skeleton Technologies and Siemens actively capitalize on this by creating a factory in Germany scheduled to produce 12 million cells annually starting in 2024.
Musashi Energy Solutions works at its Hokuto plant with a 2024 capacity of 200,000 units and targets 6.5 million units by 2026 to satisfy growing industrial needs. Corporate consolidation further validates this trajectory, as evidenced by Clarios acquiring Maxwell Technologies in November 2025 to integrate these hybrid technologies. Commercial traction is strong, emphasized by the USD 12.6 million deal Skeleton signed with Class8 Energy for trucking modules in the supercapacitors market.
The demand for these hybrid systems is specifically acute in the automotive and data center sectors, where energy recovery and stabilization are paramount. Eaton revealed an 800 VDC architecture in October 2025 for AI data centers that uses these capacitors for fast-cycle backup. Honda and IndyCar announced a collaboration in July 2024 to utilize hybrid energy recovery systems in racing, showcasing high-performance reliability.
Over 500 companies globally are now developing systems that combine lithium-ion batteries with supercapacitor banks to optimize power flow. Nippon Chemi-Con developed liquid immersion cooling-compatible capacitors in November 2024, specifically to handle heat in AI servers. The supercapacitors market witnesses sustained growth as more than 10 million EVs sold globally in 2024 utilized these systems for quick charge-discharge support.
Low-Capacitance Components Ensure Data Integrity Across Billions of Devices
The low capacitance segment is leading the charge of the supercapacitors market with a substantial share of 45.4%. The dominance here is boosted by the sheer volume of units required for memory backup, real-time clocks, and IoT sensor power bursts. Total global shipments of all capacitor types exceeded 1.2 billion units in 2024, with the majority falling into this lower capacitance bracket. Smart home ecosystems are a primary driver, with 250 million smart devices now adopting these components for reliable connectivity. Panasonic commenced mass production of flexible micro-supercapacitors in late 2023, specifically to serve this booming Internet of Things sector. Medical devices represent a growing niche, with forecasts projecting the adoption of 15 million units in 2025 for implants and portable monitors.
Technological miniaturization allows widespread integration, presented by Cap-XX launches the DMV750, a prismatic supercapacitor with a profile of just 2.2 millimeters. About 400 million 5G-enabled devices are now equipped with these capacitors to manage data transmission spikes without draining main batteries. Nichicon began pilot production of biodegradable supercapacitors in July 2023, targeting sustainable disposable electronics. Radial configurations, which typically serve low-capacitance requirements, account for the majority of the global unit volume. Startups are also active, with more than 65 new wearable products launching between 2023 and 2024 featuring micro-storage units. The Supercapacitors market thrives on these small, critical components that ensure data integrity in billions of electronics.
Asia-Pacific Emerges as Unshakable Engine of Supercapacitor Growth
Asia Pacific commands a staggering 54.40% of the global supercapacitors market share in 2025, a dominance anchored largely by China’s relentless industrial scaling. The region’s grip is compressed by China’s aggressive integration of supercapacitors into a national grid that now handles more than 1,600 GW of renewable energy capacity. Manufacturers in Jiangsu province have successfully pushed unit production costs for small cells down to USD 0.05, making an insurmountable barrier to entry for foreign competitors.
Japan complements this volume with high-value technical precision. Nippon Chemi-Con reported shipping 35% of its heavy-duty modules globally in 2025 to support mining electrification. South Korea is equally pivotal, having invested KRW 450 billion this year specifically for hybrid capacitor R&D to support its consumer electronics sector. The symbiotic relationship between China’s raw manufacturing power and the technological sophistication of its neighbors makes the region the unshakeable engine of global supply.
