The inductor market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.52%, reaching a market size of US$7.818 billion in 2029 from US$5.738 billion in 2022.
An inductor, which is also called a coil, reactor, or choke, is a two-terminal electric component that stores energy in the magnetic field when electric current flows through it. Growing demand for consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, set-top boxes, portable gaming consoles, and others is the major factor driving the demand for various inductors worldwide. The growth of the global inductor market is also being fueled by escalating demand for inductors from the telecommunication, industrial, automotive, and defense sectors. With the increasing disposable income, the expenditure on consumer electronics also increases, especially in developing countries like India, China, and Brazil, which boosts the demand for inductors. In 2023, the Consumer Technology Association projects that domestic spending on consumer electronics and related technology will total $485 billion.
The growing use of inductors in the automotive industry
The growing adoption of inductors in automotive electronics parts is expected to be one of the prime drivers of the growth of the market. As of today, the market is transitioning from an age of people driving cars to an age of self-driven or autonomous driving capability, resulting in an increase in the number of electronic parts used in cars, which further increases the demand for the inductor. High-frequency power inductors for automotive applications are specifically designed for reliability to reduce failure risks. Increasing the production of automotive vehicles in various parts of the world is also expected to boost the demand for inductors in the coming years. For instance, Data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology indicates that in 2021, sales of over 26 million vehicles-including 21.48 million passenger vehicles-rose by 7.1% over 2020 levels.
High demand from the consumer electronics sector
Inductors are used in motherboards, laptops, industrial computers, and personal computers, among other computing vertical applications. These inductors are used in the circuitry of different computers' power supplies. In computer switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), inductors serve as energy storage components. The inductor's charging time determines the output voltage ratio in these power supply types. The increase in consumer electronics sales can be further attributed to the rising standards of living. The increasing ubiquity of technology and the internet, particularly in developing nations, has increased consumer demand for cutting-edge digital gadgets.
The aerospace industry is growing at a substantial rate over the forecast period
Automation has come to take on a critical role in a number of industries. The aerospace industry is one such sector that is increasingly using automated devices to address a number of tasks such as aircraft maintenance procedures, conducting experiments in outer space, surveillance, intelligence gathering, and terrain mapping in defense. These technologically advanced devices use components like sensors, filters, motors, and transformers which rely highly on inductors. Increasing demand for the high-performance interface, increased security, and heavy processing requirements are boosting the automated products demands and with the emerging industrial internet of things (IIoT) in this sector; aerospace manufacturers are steadily upgrading their factories resulting in propelling the market growth opportunities for inductors and manufactures in the coming years.
The Asia Pacific is witnessing exponential growth during the forecast period
Geographically, Asia Pacific will witness substantial market growth opportunities owing to the booming automotive as well as consumer electronics industries in countries like China and India. This regional market growth is majorly supported by the presence of major market players who are investing heavily in expansion facilities. Simultaneously, the various government policies for investment in the development of consumer electronics and other industries will also have a significant impact on the semiconductor components market in this region, which will further boost the demand for inductors during the forecast period. For instance, the government of India reduced corporate tax rates, aiming to attract foreign investment and boost its manufacturing sector.
