COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic decreased the market demand

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the global economy, including the electronics industry and the ceramic composite resistor market share. One effect of the pandemic has been disruptions to global supply chains and manufacturing operations. The lockdowns and restrictions on movement imposed in many countries to contain the spread of the virus led to reduced production capacity and supply chain disruptions, which affected the availability of raw materials and components needed for the manufacturing of electronic devices and components. As a result, the production and delivery of ceramic composite resistors were affected, leading to a shortage of these components in the market. This shortage led to an increase in prices for ceramic composite resistors as demand outstripped supply.

LATEST TRENDS

Advancements in materials and design is expected to fuel the growth in the market

With the increasing demand for higher performance and reliability in electronic devices, manufacturers of ceramic composite resistors are focusing on developing advanced materials and designs to meet these requirements. They are exploring new metal alloys and ceramics that offer higher temperature tolerance, lower resistance drift, and higher precision.

One of the advanced materials being used in ceramic composite resistors is ruthenium oxide, which is known for its high stability and reliability. Ruthenium oxide-based resistors offer excellent performance in high-temperature and high-humidity environments, making them ideal for use in automotive and industrial applications. Furthermore, manufacturers are also exploring new manufacturing techniques, such as thin-film deposition and laser trimming, to produce resistors with high precision and accuracy. Thin-film deposition allows for the deposition of very thin layers of metal on a substrate, which results in resistors with very low tolerance and drift. Laser trimming allows for the precise adjustment of resistor values, resulting in resistors with very high accuracy.
