MLCC Market Trends 2034: How 5G, IoT, and ADAS Are Reshaping the Industry

The global Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) market is witnessing significant growth, driven by advancements in consumer electronics, 5G technology, electric vehicles (EVs), and renewable energy. MLCCs, known for their high capacitance and compact size, are widely used in various applications, making them an essential component in modern electronic devices.

In 2023, the MLCC market was valued at US$ 13.0 billion and is projected to reach US$ 28.7 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 7.5%. Leading manufacturers such as Murata, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, and Taiyo Yuden dominate the market, with China, South Korea, and Japan being key production hubs.

Key Market Drivers

1. Expanding Consumer Electronics Industry

The demand for MLCCs is surging due to the rising popularity of portable consumer electronics like smartphones, laptops, and wearable devices. The miniaturization trend in electronics has further propelled the need for compact yet high-performance capacitors.

For instance, Taiyo Yuden launched new low-profile MLCCs (AWK105 BJ474MN and PWK105 C6474MN) in April 2021, specifically designed for smartphones and wearables to improve power supply efficiency.

2. Growth of Electric Vehicles (EVs)

As the world transitions to sustainable transportation, MLCCs play a vital role in electric vehicles. They are used to smooth voltage fluctuations, filter noise, and protect semiconductors in EV drive systems.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global EV sales reached 14 million units in 2023, marking a 35% YoY growth. With this surge, MLCC manufacturers are focusing on developing high-performance capacitors to meet the demands of the EV sector.

3. 5G Infrastructure Expansion

The rollout of 5G technology has significantly boosted MLCC demand. These capacitors are crucial for 5G base stations, smartphones, and network infrastructure due to their ability to handle high frequencies and temperature variations efficiently.

4. Rise in IoT and Industrial Automation

With the expansion of IoT devices and smart industrial applications, MLCCs are in high demand for embedded systems, sensors, and control circuits. Their reliability and efficiency make them indispensable for industrial automation and AI-driven applications.
