Capacitors are cylindrical to limit the capacitors physical size.
Capacitors are basically two conducting sheets with an insulating sheet between them, this means that the way to make them more compact is to roll them up and hence this gives the cylindrical shape.
Another Answer
Capacitors are not necessarily cylindrical. Those that are, are manufactured by winding the two plates and the dielectric, swiss-roll style.

Do electrolytic capacitors generally have polarity?
Yes. Electrolytic capacitors are polarized. Capacitors with positive and negative poles generally have positive and negative marks. Generally, for capacitors with pins, the long end of the pin is the positive electrode. For cylindrical electrolytic capacitors, there will be a vertical line printed on the negative side of the capacitor. SMD capacitors generally have no positive and negative poles. --- We're JYH HSU(JEC) Electronics Ltd (or Dongguan Zhixu Electronic Co., Ltd.), an electronic components manufacturer.

How we can identify emmiter in transistor?
The method of identification differs in different type of capacitors. In cylindrical type, the emitter is the terminal nearest to i small notch present. In flat type, its printed on the transistor itself.
How are capacitors rated?
Capacitors are rated in Microfarads
What is the principle of operation of gang capacitors?
Gang capacitors are a series of capacitors that are mounted to a common location. When they are mounted in series, they can be controlled by a single switch instead of multiple ones.
Which type of dielectric is used most often in variable capacitors?
The type of dielectric most often used in variable capacitors is air. Also, trimmer capacitors often use mica.
What is cylindrical capacitor?
A cylindrical capacitor is a type capacitor in which two conducting cylinders are used and the dielectric medium is placed in between them .The outer most cylinder is earthed .The capacitance of these capacitors are higher than other

What is a thin film capacitor?
If you know what a capacitor is then a TFC refers to the way the capacitor is made. Boundary layers are separated by thin insulated film to provide compact multi-use capacitors for applications such as cell phones, avioniics etc.
Are capacitors polarity sensitive?
The capacitors those are polarity sensitive are called electrolytic and tantalum capacitors. These capacitors are labeled as positive and negative.
How are capacitors rated?
Capacitors are rated in Microfarads
What is the difference between electrolytic capacitors and normal capacitors?
because normal capacitors does not have any polaririties.
Whether film capacitors can be replaced with ceramic or mica capacitor?
Film capacitors cannot be replaced with ceramic or mica capacitors if used for analog signal processing. However, mica capacitors can be replaced with ceramic capacitors in general.
What is the tagalog of cylindrical?
Tagalog of cylindrical: mabilog
How can you stop Television from humming?
Replaced capacitors that are no lomger capacitors.
What is the population of Nokian Capacitors?
Nokian Capacitors's population is 290.
When was Nokian Capacitors created?
Nokian Capacitors was created in 1957.
