A resistor is a passive electrical component that introduces resistance into an electric circuit, regulating the flow of current. It is a crucial element in electronic design, found in a wide range of electronic devices and systems, used to manage or limit the amount of electrical current passing through a circuit.
Resistors can be classified into two main types include linear resistors and fixed resistors. Linear resistors exhibit a linear relationship between the voltage applied across their terminals and the current passing through them. They are manufactured using thin films and thick films and are utilized in various industries such as automotive, aerospace and defense, communications, consumer electronics and computing, among others.

The forecasted growth can be attributed to several factors, including increasing use in automotive heads-up displays (HUDs), advancements in flexible electronics, integration with edge computing, adoption in the healthcare industry, and expanded applications in smart cities. Major trends in the forecast period include the development of biodegradable transparent electronics, integration with AI and machine learning, the rise of augmented reality applications, integration with blockchain technology, and a focus on transparent batteries.
The increasing demand for wearable devices is expected to drive the growth of the resistor market. Wearable devices, which are electronic devices worn on the body as accessories, are equipped with various sensors and often connect to smartphones or other devices to provide information or perform functions. Resistors play a crucial role in wearable devices by providing essential components that enable precise control, miniaturization, and innovation in electronic devices. For example, the National Center for Biotechnology Information reported that the number of wearable devices in use was approximately 600 million in 2021, increasing to 928 million in 2021 and 1100 million in 2022. This growing demand for wearable devices is a key driver behind the growth of the resistor market.
Major companies in the resistor market are focusing on developing innovative technologies, such as thin-film resistors, to maintain high resistance stability. Thin-film technology involves the development of very thin layers of material, typically ranging from a nanometer to a few micrometers in thickness. For example, in October 2022, Yageo Corporation launched the VT Series, an automotive-grade thin film chip resistor. This resistor is designed to meet the high stability and reliability requirements of automotive electronics, telecommunications, industrial or medical equipment, measuring equipment, and power systems. It features high working voltage, superior resistance against sulfur-containing environments, and compliance with AEC-Q200 standards. The VT Series includes resistors with high precision, stability, and a wide range of resistance values, making them suitable for various applications.
