According to information from China Electroplating Network: Over the past two decades, global production of electronic components has begun shifting toward China. As one of the most critical electronic components, aluminum electrolytic capacitors have also seen a significant shift in manufacturing facilities toward China, making aluminum electrolytic capacitors one of the fastest-growing component products in China over the past decade. Mainland China has won favor among aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufacturers thanks to its advantages, including a concentrated base for complete equipment manufacturing, low production costs, favorable tax policies, and an abundant pool of highly skilled labor.

  According to information from China Electroplating Network: Over the past two decades, global production of electronic components has begun to shift toward China. As one of the most critical electronic components, aluminum electrolytic capacitors have also seen a significant relocation of manufacturing facilities to China, making aluminum electrolytic capacitors one of the fastest-growing component products in China over the past decade. Mainland China has won the favor of aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufacturers thanks to its advantages, including a concentrated base for finished-product manufacturing, low production costs, favorable tax policies, and an abundant pool of highly skilled labor. As a result, mainland China has become the world’s fastest-growing hub for aluminum electrolytic capacitor production. The industry is showing a comprehensive trend of accelerating its shift to mainland China; nearly all new production capacity added by manufacturers from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong is now located on the Chinese mainland.

  Industry analysts point out that currently, the market for aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufacturers in China is dominated by consumer products such as flat-panel TVs, monitors, DVDs, electronic ballasts, computers, and audio equipment, as well as general industrial products. In the process of competing with international companies, China's high-quality capacitor and electrode foil manufacturers have grown rapidly and are gradually acquiring the comprehensive strength and technological capabilities needed to participate effectively in global competition. Domestic aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufacturers and electrode foil producers—such as Dongyang Guang Aluminum, Xinjiang Zhonghe, Jianghai Shares, Yangzhou Hongyuan, and HuaFeng Aluminum Foil—are also experiencing rapid growth alongside the development of the domestic market.

  Data show that in 2011, China’s output of aluminum electrolytic capacitors was approximately 83 billion units. The domestic market demand was around 104.2 billion units, and the market size reached roughly RMB 21.9 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 11.73%. In 2012, China’s aluminum electrolytic capacitor market size will see a slight decline, falling to about RMB 19.9 billion. In 2013, the market size of aluminum electrolytic capacitors in China will rebound slightly, reaching approximately RMB 20.7 billion. By 2016, the market size of aluminum electrolytic capacitors in China is expected to reach RMB 24 billion. From 2011 to 2016, the compound annual growth rate will be 1.85%, indicating an overall upward trend.
