The through-hole passive components market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period of 2024 to 2032, driven by the growth of consumer electronics, automotive electronics expansion, and the rise of industrial automation and IoT. Sensors are expected to lead in terms of revenue and CAGR due to their widespread adoption. Radial leads are projected to gain prominence, and North America is expected to experience robust growth. Leading companies focus on miniaturization, customization, sustainability, and global expansion to maintain their competitive edge in this dynamic market, contributing to the advancement of electronic technology across industries.

Rapid Growth in Consumer Electronics

The consumer electronics sector, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and wearables, continues to grow at a rapid pace. These devices rely heavily on through-hole passive components for signal processing and power management. Evidence of this driver can be seen in the increasing demand for miniature, high-performance passive components to meet the requirements of smaller and more efficient consumer electronic devices.

Automotive Electronics Expansion

The automotive industry is undergoing a significant transformation with the advent of electric vehicles (EVs), autonomous driving, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). These advancements rely on through-hole passive components for various applications, including power conversion, safety systems, and infotainment. Evidence of this driver is evident in the growing adoption of passive components in EVs and next-generation vehicles.

Industrial Automation and IoT Growth

Industrial automation and the Internet of Things (IoT) are driving the demand for through-hole passive components in manufacturing and industrial applications. These components are essential for control systems, sensor interfaces, and connectivity solutions. Evidence of this driver can be observed in the increasing integration of IoT devices and automation technologies across industries.

Restraint of the Through-Hole Passive Components Market

A significant restraint in the Through-Hole Passive Components Market is the increasing trend toward surface-mount technology (SMT). Evidence of this challenge can be seen in the preference for SMT components in modern electronic manufacturing due to their smaller form factor, lower assembly costs, and compatibility with automated assembly processes. To address this restraint, manufacturers of through-hole passive components must focus on product innovation and adaptability to coexist with SMT solutions.

Market Segmentation by Component (Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors, Diodes, Transducers, Sensors, Others): Capacitors Dominates the Market

In 2023, capacitors accounted for the highest revenue within the through-hole passive components market due to their extensive use in energy storage, signal coupling, and filtering applications. However, during the forecast period from 2024 to 2032, sensors are expected to exhibit both the highest revenue and the highest CAGR. This growth is driven by the expanding adoption of sensors in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics.

Market Segmentation by Leads Model (Axial Leads, Radial Leads): Axial Dominates the Market

In 2023, axial leads were more prevalent in the market due to their compatibility with through-hole PCB designs and legacy electronic systems. However, during the forecast period from 2024 to 2032, radial leads are expected to demonstrate the highest CAGR. This shift is driven by their ease of use, versatility, and suitability for modern electronic manufacturing processes.

APAC Dominates the Global Market

Geographically, the Through-Hole Passive Components Market exhibits diverse trends. In 2023, Asia-Pacific held the highest revenue percentage due to its dominance in electronics manufacturing, particularly in countries like China, South Korea, and Taiwan. However, North America is expected to demonstrate the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is driven by the increasing demand for through-hole passive components in automotive, aerospace, and IoT applications.
