Chip Resistor Market to Surpass USD 2.8 Billion by 2035, Fueled by EVs, 5G, and Miniaturized Electronics

The global chip resistor market is on a steady upward path, projected to expand from USD 1.6 billion in 2025 to USD 2.8 billion by 2035, registering a 6.0% CAGR over the forecast period. As electronics become smaller, smarter, and more powerful, chip resistors-tiny yet vital components-are taking center stage in applications ranging from consumer devices to industrial automation, electric vehicles (EVs), and next-generation telecommunications.

Between 2025 and 2027, incremental growth will lift the market from USD 1.6 billion to USD 1.8 billion, largely fueled by consumer electronics and automotive adoption. By 2030, demand from 5G infrastructure, IoT-enabled devices, and industrial machinery will push market revenues past USD 2.1 billion. The final leg, from 2030 to 2035, is expected to see more pronounced expansion as autonomous vehicles, renewable energy systems, and advanced medical devices drive demand for precision and stability in chip resistors.
