Why Is Demand Increasing
Automotive electrification is increasing component intensity — the source states that an average EV contains approximately 30% more passive components than traditional combustion-engine vehicles.
EV and advanced vehicle systems require high volumes of MLCCs — electric vehicles can utilize up to 15,500 MLCCs versus 1,800–3,200 in conventional cars.
5G, IoT and electronics manufacturing expansion are creating new demand — China, Japan and South Korea account for over 70% of global passive-component output, while production is also shifting toward Southeast Asia and India.
Fab & Technology Pulse: Miniaturization Meets Automotive-Grade Reliability
The passive-components market is moving on two technology tracks at once: higher component density for compact electronics and higher reliability for automotive and industrial systems. Capacitors dominate the product structure because of their role in energy storage and signal filtering, while MLCC demand is being lifted by EV power systems, smartphones and 5G infrastructure. Surface-mount technology remains dominant because it supports high-density PCB designs and automated assembly. At the same time, manufacturers are developing next-generation dielectric materials and nano-composites to increase capacitance density and temperature stability. Automotive-grade products are gaining strategic importance because ADAS, electrification and charging systems require vibration resistance, thermal stability and long service life. The competitive field includes large diversified manufacturers as well as regional specialists focused on ceramic capacitors, MLCCs, resistors and inductors.
