Lewes, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/23/2016 -- Report forecast the global Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor market to grow at a CAGR of 2.79% during the period 2016-2020.

An MLCC is a monolithic device with laminated layers of ceramic dielectric materials, scattered with the metal electrode system. The layers are exposed to high temperature to make a sintered and efficient capacitance device. A conducive barrier system is integrated with the exposed ends of the chip to complete the linking.

MLCCs are categorized on the following bases:

- Rated voltage: The rated voltage can be between 4 volts and 10 kilovolts, with the most common being 16-volt, 25-volt, 50-volt, or 100-volt capacitors.

- Dielectric

- Tolerance

- Capacitance: The most common values for capacitance are 10 nanofarads, 100 nanofarads, and 1 microfarad.

- Case size or dimension

- Packaging type

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global MLCC market for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, Technavio considers revenue generated from the sales of MLCCs to semiconductor component manufacturers.

The market is divided into the following segments based on geography:
- Americas
- APAC
- EMEA

According to the report, a key growth driver is the need for highly improved MLCCs in LED lighting. LED lighting is gaining momentum globally due to the growing need for power conservation, efficient lighting, and advanced lighting features. Initially, ceramic capacitors were not favored by LED designers due to acoustic noise and flickering light. However, with advances in technology, vendors such as Murata are offering MLCCs with acoustic noise reduction and DC smoothing for LED applications. This has increased the integration of MLCCs in LED lighting.

Further, the report states that one challenge that could restrict market growth is flaws in the MLCC material functionalities. In certain conditions, a crack in the ceramic portion of an MLCC may cause difficulties. These difficulties result from mechanical harm caused by the soldering process to the printed circuit board, which normally occurs due to mishandling of the board or the exposure of the assembly unit to extreme environmental conditions.
