The global multilayer ceramic capacitor market is exhibiting strong growth, with an estimated value of USD 12.6 billion in 2025 and USD 23.4 billion by 2035, achieving a CAGR of 6.4%, during the forecast period. The global multilayer ceramic capacitor market is driven by electronics miniaturization, rising EV and automotive electronics adoption, and expanding 5G/IoT infrastructure, while Asia Pacific manufacturing strength and innovations from Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and TDK Corporation create strong growth potential across high-capacitance and high-reliability applications.

“The GRM188 represents yet another world-first achievement for Murata’s MLCC lineup, surpassing previous limitations and aligning perfectly with market demands,” said Hidetoshi Nakagawa, General Manager of Ceramic Capacitor Marketing at Murata. “In addition, this miniaturization not only improves the design of end applications and reduces the number of materials needed, but it also decreases electricity consumption during manufacturing, providing a dual benefit for sustainability.”
Increasing deployment of AI servers and high-performance computing infrastructure is driving demand for multilayer ceramic capacitors (passive components), as these systems require high capacitor density to ensure power stability and efficient energy management. For instance, in February 2025, Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. projected AI server MLCC demand to more than double by FY2025, with usage nearly eight times higher than conventional systems. This trend is driving demand for high-capacitance, miniaturized MLCCs, supporting strong market growth and innovation.
Moreover, rising electrification in automotive and EV systems is driving MLCC adoption, driven by the increasing integration of electronic control units and the need for high-voltage performance (electronics capacitors). For instance, in April 2025, Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. expanded its MLCC production facility to address rising demand from EV and telecom applications. This is strengthening demand for automotive-grade, high-reliability MLCCs, supporting sustained market expansion.
Adjacent opportunities for the global MLCC market include expansion into power inductors, silicon capacitors, film capacitors, advanced semiconductor packaging (SiP/SoC), and battery management system components, driven by rising demand across EVs, AI servers, and industrial automation, enabling cross-component integration and performance optimization in high-density electronic systems. These adjacencies broaden revenue streams and accelerate innovation across the passive and embedded component ecosystem.


The global multilayer ceramic capacitor market is moderately consolidated, with leading players such as Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co., Ltd., TDK Corporation, Taiyo Yuden Co., Ltd., and Yageo Corporation dominating through advanced material engineering, miniaturization technologies, and high-volume manufacturing capabilities. These companies leverage proprietary dielectric materials and precision layer-stacking techniques to maintain strong competitive positioning across consumer electronics, automotive, and telecom sectors.
Key players are increasingly focusing on specialized solutions such as ultra-miniaturized, high-capacitance MLCCs, automotive-grade high-temperature capacitors, and low-loss components designed for high-frequency 5G applications. For instance, innovations in nano-layering and advanced ceramic formulations are enabling higher capacitance in smaller footprints, supporting next-generation electronic devices and EV architectures.
These advancements are accelerating MLCC adoption across high-growth industries, enhancing device performance and reliability while driving market expansion through increased demand for compact, high-efficiency electronic components.
