The through-hole passive components market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of through-hole passive components has seen significant expansion in the past few years. The market, which was valued at $38.18 billion in 2024, is anticipated to increase to $40.58 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%.
This progression during the historical duration can be credited to the surge in electronics manufacturing, the emergence of industrial automation and control systems, the uptake of consumer electronics, the integration of automotive electronics, and the advancement of telecommunication infrastructure.
The through-hole passive components market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are high for robust expansion in the through-hole passive components market size in the coming years. The market is projected to surge to $53.16 billion in 2029, advancing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%.
This growth in the forecast period is linked to factors like the rise of renewable energy systems, advancements in smart grid technologies, the broadening scope of the Internet of Things (IoT), the expansion of the electric vehicles (EVs) market, and 5G network deployment. Foreseen trends within this period encompass the broadening of application fields in automotive electronics, the integration of through-hole components in IoT gadgets, a focus on high-temperature and harsh environment components, the launch of low-profile through-hole inductors, and heightened automation in the manufacturing of through-hole components.
The upward trend in the demand for consumer electronics is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the through-hole passive component market. A consumer electronic device is any piece of equipment with a built-in electronic circuit board intended for everyday use. The consumption of smart home gadgets, wearables, and other connected apparatuses is on the rise, leading to increased demand for electrical components and thus, elevating the popularity of the through-hole passive components. In January 2023, the U.S Census Bureau, a U.S-based federal statistical organization, reported that the monthly electronics and appliance retail sales in the U.S reached $7.59 billion in May 2022, signifying an impressive $3.37 billion growth in the retail sales of electronics and appliances over a span of two years. Thus, the surging demand for consumer electronics is predicted to stimulate the through-hole passive component market.
