With electric vehicles (EV) reaching over 4% of India’s passenger vehicle market share in May 2025, the country’s transition to cleaner mobility is accelerating. This growth is increasing the need for advanced electronic components, including capacitor films essential for EV power systems. Cosmo Films, known for its specialty films used in packaging and industrial applications, is addressing this demand through its Al-Zn Metallised Polypropylene Capacitor Films, developed for use in EVs and hybrid vehicles.
Passenger EV sales in India saw a year-on-year increase of more than 53%, reflecting growing confidence in electric mobility. This trend is also raising requirements for more efficient power management technologies. Cosmo Films’ capacitor films are currently used in several automotive systems such as battery management, inverters, and onboard electronics. Globally, the capacitor film market is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 5.40% between 2025 and 2030.
Kulbhushan Malik, Global Business Head at Cosmo Films, noted that the rising adoption of electric mobility highlights the growing need for dependable electronic infrastructure. He stated that the company’s film technology is designed to support manufacturers with durable, efficient components suitable for use across both automotive and renewable energy sectors.
Cosmo Films’ Al-Zn Metallised Polypropylene Film range is engineered to meet the demanding performance standards of electric vehicle systems. These films deliver high dielectric strength, making them suitable for high-voltage applications commonly found in EV power electronics. Their thermal stability ensures reliable operation across a wide range of temperatures, a critical factor for automotive environments that experience frequent fluctuations and high heat levels.
In addition to electrical and thermal performance, the films are designed with low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and Equivalent Series Inductance (ESL), which contribute to compact and high-efficiency capacitor designs. The thin-film construction supports lightweight integration, helping manufacturers reduce overall system size and weight. Furthermore, their self-healing properties increase long-term durability, making them well-suited for the rigorous demands of modern electric mobility applications.
As vehicle systems become more electronic and complex, Cosmo Films is aligning its products to meet the evolving technical needs of manufacturers. Backed by its global production network and focus on responsible manufacturing practices, the company continues to supply critical components to OEMs and system providers involved in the EV transition.
