Automotive Market Leadership
Automotive applications accounted for 42% of total sales growth in the region, driven by continued electrification of the automotive sector. NCC's high-temperature and high-ripple series showed exceptional performance in electric vehicle power systems, including onboard chargers, DC-DC converters, and battery management systems.
Key automotive applications showing growth include:
- Electric vehicle (EV) onboard chargers (OBC)
- DC-DC converters for power train systems
- Battery management systems (BMS)
- Electric motor drive systems
- Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)
NCC's AEC-Q200 qualified components met the stringent requirements demanded by automotive customers, contributing significantly to market share gains among Tier 1 suppliers.
Renewable Energy Expansion
The renewable energy sector showed 28% growth in NCC capacitor demand, primarily driven by:
- Solar PV inverter applications
- Wind turbine power conversion systems
- Energy storage systems (ESS)
- Grid-tie inverter systems
NCC's high-ripple current and extended-life series proved particularly suitable for the challenging environmental conditions in renewable energy installations, leading to increased adoption among system integrators.
