Capacitor Bank Market By Voltage (Less than 10 kV, 10 kV-69 kV, More than 69 kV) , By Type (Externally Fused, Internally Fused, Fuseless) By Installation (Pole Mounted, Open Air Substation, Metal Enclosed Substation, Others) By Connection Type (Star Connection, Delta Connection) By Application (Power Factor Correction, Industrial, Harmonic Filter, Others) : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024-2031
The global capacitor bank market was valued at $4.2 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $6.0 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2024 to 2031.
A capacitor bank is an assembly of multiple capacitors connected in series or parallel to store electrical energy and provide a specified capacitance in an electrical circuit. It is the fundamental component of these banks, consists of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material called the dielectric. Industries with heavy electrical equipment, such as manufacturing plants, petrochemical facilities, and steel mills, benefit significantly from capacitor banks.
The growth of the capacitor bank market is driven by enhancement in energy efficiency. Capacitor banks serve as indispensable tools for enhancing energy efficiency and reducing utility costs through power factor correction. Their ability to optimize power factor not only benefits individual businesses but also contributes to a more sustainable and resilient electrical infrastructure. Moreover, increase in demand for power quality improvement drives the growth of capacitor bank market during the forecast period. Power quality is a critical aspect of electrical systems, impacting the efficiency, reliability, and safety of power delivery. By introducing capacitive reactance into the system, capacitor banks effectively counteract the inductive reactance associated with loads, balancing the power factor and reducing reactive power flow.
However, to ensure optimal performance and longevity is expected to restrain the growth of capacitor bank market during the forecast period. On the other hand, technological advancements for product enhancement offer lucrative opportunities for the market to grow. For instance, in June 2022, Siemens introduced a cutting-edge advancement in capacitor banks. The company unveiled a new line of high-voltage capacitor banks designed to operate at higher power ratings while maintaining a compact size and enhanced efficiency. These upgraded capacitor banks offer superior power factor correction, making them ideal for large-scale power distribution systems and demanding industrial applications.
