Supercapacitors and supercabatteries market landscape

ENGLAND: Electrochemical double layer capacitors (supercapacitors, ultracapacitors, EDLCs) and asymmetric electrochemical double layer capacitors (supercabatteries, AEDLCs) are utilised for multiple purposes in mobile devices, electric vehicles, power scavenging, renewable energy as well as a lot of other products with future potential.

Forecasts say the market will be worth more than $11 billion in a decade with significant potential for further growth.

Worldwide, 55 percent of the producers and those intending to manufacture EDLCs and AEDLCs are located in East Asia, 28 percent are in North America, with Europe, however, still being fast asleep at only 7 percent.

Due to their beneficial properties like superior low temperature performance, service and cycle life, fast charge/discharge rates and reliability, supercapacitors and supercabatteries tend to replace traditional batteries and capacitors in a mushrooming number of applications from renewable energy to microscopic electronics.
