Passive Electronic Components Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Passive Electronic Components Market Analysis

The Passive Electronic Components Market size is estimated at USD 45.53 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 62.12 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.41% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Passive electronic components are the cornerstone of all electronics, in physical design and circuit models' language, representing electrical behavior in complicated systems. Integrated circuits include these components, and circuit boards contain discrete passive components. The increasing demand for electronic devices is anticipated to boost the passive electronic components market's growth.

• The growth of inductors is presently steady, owing to the increasing number of product launches, the developments in the consumer electronics sector, the rising use of inductors in automotive electronics, and the adoption of smart grids. Globally, the rising demand for consumer electronics, such as tablets, smartphones, laptops, set-top boxes, and portable gaming consoles, is the major factor boosting the need for inductors.
• With the advent of technological advancements, electronics, and electronic devices are getting more complex, primarily due to the increasing consumer demand for small or slim devices. Customers have a specific standard for these devices nowadays, such as a sleek, thin design, with the screen going from edge to edge.
• Moreover, smartphones have witnessed the great success of MEMS gyroscopes owing to their low cost, miniature size, and lightweight nature. Features like voice-enabled smart devices have also been witnessing increased adoption over the past few years. The adoption of smart devices, such as the Amazon Echo, Google Home, and Sonos, was estimated to be aggressive by the end of 2023. The younger generation views these devices as the smarter, faster, and easier way to perform everyday activities.
• The adoption of wearables in the healthcare sector has been gaining traction in recent times, which, in turn, has been one of the significant factors influencing the market studied. The major trends in wearable connected devices include the increasing demand for pain management wearable devices and the increasing use of wearables for cardiovascular disease management.
• As nickel is an essential element for steel industries and, therefore, crucial to industrial countries, in recent times, the price of the element has been most affected by continuing lockdowns in some parts of the world, coupled with supply-side restraints. Indonesia, the largest miner and nickel exporter, banned metal exports in the hopes of a price rise in the wake of limited supplies to China.
• The COVID-19 pandemic led to immense disruptions in supply chains across industries globally. Many businesses globally halted or reduced operations to help combat the spread of the virus. The pandemic impacted the passive electronic components market, leading to decreased operation levels across the supply chain on the raw material and component production levels. This denoted a fall in sales in a range of regions and countries.
• The demand from consumer electronics industries has increased post-pandemic and is anticipated to boost the demand in the passive electronic components market. For instance, according to the industry body India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA), smartphone exports in the April 2022-February 2023 years doubled from a year ago when exports hovered around USD 4.5 billion. In addition, India's mobile phone exports crossed USD 2 billion in the first two months of 2023, driven mainly by Apple and Samsung, taking the entire export value to over USD 9 billion since April 2022, as manufacturers stepped up production and external shipments.

Passive Electronic Components Industry Segmentation

Passive electronic components are components that consume energy. They do not produce energy, are incapable of power gain, and require no electrical power to operate. They simply absorb energy. A standard example of passive electronic components would be resistors, inductors, and capacitors. The analysis is based on the market insights captured through secondary research and through the primaries. The market also covers the major factors impacting the growth of the passive electronic components market in terms of drivers and restraints.
