Executive Summary
The demand appears promising for expansion of Ultracapacitors into markets in both Europe and the U.S., causing Ultracapacitor markers to undertake aggressive business expansion in an effort to meet the new demand.
Ultracapacitors are the type of electrochemical capacitors that are able to store exceptionally large amount of energy for their size. They have recieved a lot of attention recently, especially in the hybrid vehicle market. Today, the applications for Ultracapacitors are expanding to construction equipment and telecommunication. Also, we are seeing the increasing usage of Ultracapacitors in the emerging applications, such as renewable energy, residential power, public transportation, military/aerospace, and medicine/healthcare.
In the foreseeable future, demand for Ultracapacitor needs are increasing; this report also covers today’s key factors, including demand magnitude, share of application areas, share of manufacturers, technology trends, competition structure, development-enhancement factors, constraint factors, and price trends. Also, the activities of 14 major Ultracapacitor manufacturers, top 5 component material makers, and 7 corporate users in the U.S. and European markets are reported. The table below shows the research items and contents in a concise manner, to make it easier to see the report as a whole, and the each research item.
