Electrical Capacitor Market in India

In India, the demand for electrical capacitor is expected to increase primarily due to rising demand for consumer durables and IT hardware coupled with use of electrical circuitry in diverse applications.

Although India majorly relies on imports of numerous electronics products, equipment and components from other countries, the country's Electronic System Design & Manufacturing (ESDM) market has witnessed a significant transformation over the past few years. In addition, the government's support of allowing 100% FDI in the electronics hardware manufacturing sector has provided an automatic route for increasing electronic component manufacturing, including electrical capacitors in the country.

According to a recently published report by TechSci Research"India Electrical Capacitor Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2019", the country's electrical capacitor market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 3.6% during 2014-19. Indiahas grown multi folds in terms of electrical & electronic product manufacturing, and the revenue growth in these industries is the key driver for electrical capacitors market in the country, especially in southern and northern regions.

According to the "Human Resource and Skill Requirements in the Electronics & IT Hardware Sector (2022)" report, the Electronic Components sector is expected to grow by 19% till 2022 which is going to be higher than the GDP in India. The Electronics Sector Skills Council of India has listed Passive Components as one of the top 14 sub-sectors with a high potential for employment. This will have a positive impact for the job roles falling under this sector.

According to the IMaCS Analysis, the human resource requirement in the Electronic Components segment has been projected to grow from 1,79,000 in 2012 to 8,34,000 in 2022 that is an increment of 6,55,000 resources.

One of the job roles that will have a large positive impact of all these trends is that of a Testing Technician.
