Global Lithium-ion Capacitor Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Lithium-ion Capacitor market size is predicted to grow from US$ 59.14 million in 2025 to US$ 113 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.8% from 2026 to 2032.

A lithium ion capacitor (LIC) is a capacitor that uses a carbon-based material capable of absorbing lithium ions as the negative electrode material, and improves energy density by adding lithium ions to it, while using the principles of a general electric double layer capacitor. The principle of charging and discharging differs between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and the structure combines the negative electrode of a lithium-ion battery and the positive electrode of an electric double layer. A type of asymmetric capacitor with a different positive and negative electrode principle, which combines the positive electrode of an electric double-layer capacitor and the negative electrode of a lithium-ion battery. While the positive electrode operates by the principal of physical, Electrical Double Layer, the negative electrode charges and discharges by the redox reaction of lithium. The high energy density compared to conventional capacitors is largely due to the fact that the pseudo electrostatic capacitance of the negative electrode is increased by pre-doping.
