Multilayer Varistor Market

Multilayer Varistor Market to Grow at a Steady Rate of ~10%

The multilayer varistor market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 10% during the forecast period 2021-2031, and is estimated to reach US$ 100 Mn by 2021. Multilayer varistors are largely used in various applications, owing to its high transient energy absorption ability.

The multilayer varistor are basically used to protect electronics circuit used in mobile phone, scanner, motherboard, handheld device, and I/O Port such as VGA, USB, PS2 and RS232. Owing to significant advantages offered by multilayer varistors, its demand is expected to increase in the coming period.

What is Driving Demand for Multilayer Varistor?

Due to increasing urbanization, the adoption of IoT is largely increased and owing to this the growth can be seen in the development of wireless communication devices, which is increasing multilayer varistor demand. In addition, to protect against excessive transient voltages and to deliver optimal operating conditions the multilayer varistors are used as a control element in circuits of various electronic devices.

Controlling excessive transient voltages can prevent any electronic circuit from damage which will reduce the maintenance cost of the system. Thus features of multilayer varistors such as voltage stabilization, high reliability, and cost effectiveness are some of the major factors that are expected to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Multilayer varistors offers transmission of elevated connected energies at low cost which is likely to drive the sales of multilayer varistors across industries. Furthermore, the rise in applications of power transmission and allocation electronics is expected to propel the multilayer varistors demand, globally.

Increased Adoption for Automotive Circuit Protection to Proliferate Multilayer Varistor Demand

Multilayer varistors are used to design transient voltage suppression, which are used to prevent damage to circuits and sensitive devices from voltage spikes. Today’s automobiles employ electronics for assisted driving, self-driving, communications, safety, engine performance optimization with engine control unit (ECU), navigation and cameras.

Moreover, the ADASs (advanced driver assistance systems) in current automobiles and electric vehicles have multiple processors as well as high-current sensors and actuators. Thus these vehicles will require transient voltage suppression devices for protection against voltages spikes without increases in size and weight of the components. Hence the increased adoption of multilayer varistors in automotive industry is expected to create more opportunities in the market.

Asia Pacific Demand Outlook for Multilayer Varistor

The demand for multilayer varistors is anticipated to grow at a significant rate in Asia Pacific region owing to rapid expansion and presence of end user industries like telecommunication, automotive, energy & power, manufacturing and others across the developing economies like South Korea, Japan and India.

In addition, most of the key players have manufacturing and production facilities in this region, thus it is another significant factor driving production of multilayer varistor. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in 2020, most of the manufacturing plants in China and Japan were closed down during the lockdowns imposed by government, or were functional with minimal operations. This has impacted the supply and demand for most of the semiconductor products. However, during Q4, 2020, the market recovered back slightly and is anticipated to grow at a steady growth rate.

Moreover, the up-gradation of electric circuits and networks in the U.S. and Europe is also expected to lead to the higher demand for multilayer varistors in these regions.
