Market Overview

The thermistor temperature sensor market was valued at USD 80.19?million in 2019?and is expected to reach a value of USD 103.37?million by 2025, at a CAGR of 4.41% over the forecast period (2020-2025).?The growing trend of automation has been identified as one of the important trends in the industry, with the global consumption of sensors growing at a rapid pace across all the verticals. This is expected to influence the demand for thermistors.

  • Temperature sensing has become the largest application market for thermistors in recent years, with thermistors becoming the second-most used temperature sensors in various industries.
  • There is high competition from the different substitutes for sensors, from various organizations.
  • However, being smaller and more durable devices, thermistor temperature sensors monitor temperature and hence play a significant role in preventing damage to machinery and factories.



Scope of the Report

A thermistor is a resistor whose resistance is dependent on temperature. Thermistor temperature sensors are mainly used as inrush current limiters. They are also used in temperature sensing devices, self-resetting over-current protectors, and self-regulating heating elements.

Key Market Trends
