Passive Electronic Components Market

Market Definition

The Passive Electronic Components Market size was valued at 32.7 billion in 2022 and is predicted to reach 48.7 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 5.8% from 2023-2030. Passive electronic components are electronic components that do not require a power source to function. These components are used to control the flow of electricity in a circuit and to shape the electrical signal in a desired way. They are considered passive because they do not actively generate electricity, but rather modify the flow of electricity that is already present in a circuit.

Passive electronic components are used to provide specific functions such as resistance, capacitance, and inductance. They are known for their durability, reliability, and low cost, making them popular choices in many electronic systems. They are easy to integrate into a wide range of circuits. Passive electronic components are manufactured by using a variety of materials and are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes to suit different requirements.

Market Dynamics and Trends

The demand for the passive electronic components market is increasing due to the rising adoption of electronics in various industries, including automotive, healthcare, and consumer electronics. As these industries continue to develop and advance, the demand for passive components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors increases. The miniaturization and integration of electronic devices, such as smartphones and wearable devices, also drive demand for smaller and more efficient passive components.

Moreover, the increasing use of wireless technology in a wide range of devices and applications is also boosting the growth of the passive electronic components market. As more devices and systems rely on wireless communication, the demand for passive components such as antennas and RF filters increases. Therefore, with the growing adoption of wireless technology and the increasing demand for faster and more reliable communication is boosting the growth of the market.

Additionally, the development of Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G networks is further accelerating the growth of the passive electronic components market. Both the IoT and 5G networks rely on a wide range of electronic devices and components along with large number of low-power and low-cost components that can be integrated into a wide range of devices including passive electronic components.

However, the increasing availability of substitute materials and technologies such as semiconductors and transistors is the major factor restraining the growth of the passive electronic components market. On the other hand, the introduction of graphene is expected to create ample growth opportunities for the market in the future. Graphene is a material made of a single layer of carbon atoms that is extremely conductive and has a very high surface area. It is being researched for use in passive electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors.

Geographical Analysis

Asia Pacific dominates the global passive electronic component market trend and is potently expected to remain dominant in the market throughout the forecast period. This is attributed to the rising adoption of smartphones, laptops, and other consumer electronics in countries such as China and India. China is the largest smart device manufacturer and a major contributor to this demand as it has a significant share in the global consumer electronics market.

Additionally, the rapid rise of the telecommunications industry in the Asia Pacific region, particularly in countries including China and India, is further boosting the growth of the passive electronic components market. Passive electronic components are widely used in communication systems such as base stations, routers, and servers, and further their growing adoption in these systems is driving the market growth. For instance, in October 2022, the government of India launched 5G rollout across the country in view of its digital transformation program. 

On the other hand, North America shows substantial growth in the global passive electronic component market. This is due to the large number of data centers and cloud computing infrastructure in the North America region, which require various types of passive electronic components such as capacitors, resistors, and inductors. According to the United States International Trade Commission as of 2021, out of 8000 global data center the United States has 2701 data centers.

Moreover, the presence of major market players such as Bourns, Inc. and TDK Corporation are adopting various strategies including product launches is further accelerating the growth of the market. For instance, in August 2022, Bourns, Inc. launched 600-V/650-V discrete products co-packaged with a fast recovery diode (FRD). The five new Model BID Series discrete devices include a positive temperature coefficient that helps increase device longevity and reduce power requirements in high voltage and high current designs.

Also, in 2022, TDK Corporation announced the construction of a new production building on the premises of the Kitakami factory. This construction is aimed to further increase the production volume of MLCCs and to satisfy growing demand from customers.

Competitive Landscape

Various market players operating in the passive electronic component market include TDK Corporation, Vishay Inter technology Inc., KEMET Corporation, Panasonic Corporation, Vishay Intertechnology Inc., Yageo Corporation, Panasonic Holdings Corporation, Murata Manufacturing Co. Ltd., AVX Corporation, and Taiyo Yuden Co. Ltd. These market players are adopting various strategies such as innovation and collaboration to maintain their dominance in the global passive electronic component market.

For instance, in June 2022, TDK Corporation developed the new TFM201208BLE series of inductors optimized for space-constrained smartphone power circuits. These are available in 0.24, 0.33 and 0.47 µH versions. 

Also, in May 2022, Vishay Inter technology Inc. introduced a new series of AEC-Q200 qualified, chassis-mount wire-wound resistors targeted at the growing electric vehicle (EV) market. These resistors offer high reliability to the devices, featuring a wholly welded and molded construction for total environmental protection and an operating temperature range of -55 °C to +250 °C.

Moreover, in April 2022, TDK Corporation established a joint venture between Amperex Technology Limited and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited. that engages in the business of rechargeable battery for automobiles and other applications under “Announcement on Business Alliance and Establishment of Joint Venture with CATL” on April 28, 2021.
