The present capacity of 1.2 billion pcs/annum makes Deki the largest manufacturer of plastic film capacitors in India. Its capacitors are currently exported to Europe, Hong Kong, China, Middle East, Malaysia, Philippines and South Korea. Deki has been growing at an average annualised growth rate of 29 per cent year on year since 1989-90.
The global film capacitor market is analyzed across various segments including product and type. On the basis of product, the market is categorized into AC and DC. Depending on type, the market is bifurcated into paper film capacitor and plastic film capacitor.
According to the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), the consumer electronics sales in 2015 was valued at $220 billion. Faster obsoletion in technology is majorly driving the adoption of electronics component, which is further expected to drive the film capacitor market during the forecast period.
Sungho Electronics Co., Ltd. manufactures film capacitors. Their product line includes metallized polyester film capacitors, metallized polypropylene film capacitors, polypropylene film capacitors, and metallized polypropylene sulphide film capacitors. Sungho Electronics also produces film capacitor manufacturing equipment.
When energy storage is not the headline parameter, large value film capacitors can be a high-performance solution. An example would be on a battery-backed DC bus such as you see in electric vehicles, alternative energy systems, and uninterruptible power supplies.
Degradation due to humidity is an issue for film capacitors but this is in common with other components so should be controlled for best reliability. When energy storage is not the headline parameter, large value film capacitors can be a high-performance solution.
