Global Inductors Market Size

Inductor Market Analysis

The Global Inductors Market size is estimated at USD 10.76 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 13.60 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.79% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

• With the advent of technological advancements, electronics and electronic devices are getting more complex, primarily due to the increasing consumer demand for small or slim devices. Customers have a specific standard for these devices nowadays, for instance, sleek, thin design, with the screen going from edge to edge.
• Smartphones have witnessed the great success of MEMS gyroscopes owing to their low cost, miniature size, and lightweightness. Features like voice-enabled smart devices have increased adoption over the past few years. The adoption of smart devices, such as the Amazon Echo, Google Home, and Sonos, was aggressive by the end of 2023. The younger generation views these devices as the more innovative, faster, and easier way to perform everyday activities. A recent survey conducted by Accenture revealed that more than 50% of internet users use digital voice assistants globally. This is further expected to add to the complexity of electronics, thereby augmenting the demand for inductors.
• Inductors also play an essential role in the healthcare and medical devices industry. Various advancements in the healthcare sector, including improving macro-sized hospital equipment, medical wearables, and point-of-care devices, are expected to increase the demand. The medical industry is continually driving the need for electronics. As technology enhances and smaller, denser, more reliable boards become possible, passive electronic components will play an increasingly important role in healthcare.
• The use of metals, including coppers, iron, and other ferrite substances, for the core and coil of inductors creates the production dependency of inductors on the raw material price. Fluctuations in the supply chain and raw material costs can increase the lead time and impact the profit margin of the market vendors, hindering market growth.
• The increasing inflation and interest rates further decreased consumer spending, which restricted the market’s growth in 2022 and 2023. Due to the war in Russia and Ukraine, European countries experienced inflation, and compared to January 2022, inflation in Germany, Sweden, France, and the United Kingdom increased significantly. In August 2023, the United Kingdom’s inflation rate was 6.7% compared to 5.5% in January 2022. These factors hampered the market’s growth in 2023. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US manufacturing sector’s output reduced by 0.1% in the third quarter of 2023. This may lead to decreased demand for inductors from the manufacturing sector.
