Market CAGR for Ultracapacitor is being driven by the Longer life cycle as compared to batteries and Growing Stringent Emission Regulations. Ultracapacitors, on average, offer a lifespan ranging from 8 to 15 years, which significantly surpasses the typical 3 to 4-year life expectancy of conventional automotive batteries. Furthermore, in various applications such as solid-state devices, standard batteries tend to last just 1-2 years. The relatively high cost of lithium-ion batteries contributes to the depreciation in the resale value of electric vehicles, thereby impeding the growth of electric car sales. In this context, ultracapacitors emerge as a promising alternative to batteries, offering an extended lifespan that eliminates the need for replacement every few years.
The integration of ultracapacitors in-vehicle systems enhances battery capacity and enables automobile manufacturers to achieve key advantages, including enhanced fuel efficiency, prolonged battery life, reduced vehicle weight, and diminished carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. To align with stringent global emissions regulations, ultracapacitors are anticipated to gain broader acceptance across various vehicle types, encompassing conventional, hybrid, and electric vehicles. For instance, in the United States, carbon dioxide emissions per mile showed a steady decline from 369 grams per mile in 2013 to 352 grams per mile (preliminary) for FY 2017, as per the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The European Union (EU) has also implemented emission standards to govern CO2 emissions from both passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Transport emissions have seen an uptick, constituting a quarter of the EU's overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Notably, the average carbon emission for new cars registered in the EU in 2016 was approximately 118.1 grams per kilometer (g/km), comfortably surpassing the 2015 target of 130g. These developments reflect the growing focus on reducing emissions and promoting cleaner, more efficient transportation solutions in the business landscape.
As a result, it is anticipated that throughout the projection period, demand for the Ultracapacitor Market will increase due to the Longer life cycle as compared to batteries and Growing Stringent Emission Regulations. Thus, driving the Ultracapacitor Market revenue.
