The global active electronic components market size is estimated to reach USD 495.2 billion by 2025, registering a CAGR of 9.6% from 2019 to 2025, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing demand for active electronics components for manufacturing smart home appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines among others, is estimated to boost the market growth. Moreover, the anticipated adoption of active electronic components in networking devices and telecom equipment requisite for developing 5G infrastructure is further expected to elevate the growth.

Wearables such as smartwatches, Virtual Reality (VR) headsets, and fitness bands among others are gaining popularity among consumers. Consumers are increasingly willing to spend a significant amount on health and entertainment, which in turn it has accelerated the demand for wearable devices among consumers worldwide. This is further anticipated to increase the adoption of active electronic components in the coming years. In addition, voluminous patient data coupled with investments made by the governments and private players worldwide for setting up state-of-the-art healthcare facilities has augmented the adoption of high-tech medical equipment and connected devices. Thus, with rising demand for these devices, the demand for active electronic components is expected to surge globally over the forecast period.

Demand for connected cars is fast transforming the automotive industry. This has increased the use of advanced electronics in automotive for multiple applications, such as parking, safety, telematics, and navigation among others. Thus, growing demand for advanced electronics in automotive is expected to drive demand for active electronic components over the forecast period. Also, the rising demand for advanced microcontrollers or modems in order to provide robust connectivity to autonomous cars and other critical applications is further expected to surge the adoption of active electronics components from 2019 to 2025.

With the rising trend of industry 4.0, the adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices in the manufacturing sector is gradually increasing worldwide. Key manufacturers are opting for new technologies to augment their overall productivity and operational efficiency in order to ensure profitability. Therefore, the rising adoption of IoT technology for smart manufacturing applications, such as machine-to-machine communication is estimated to augment the adoption of active electronic components over the forecast period. Furthermore, the escalating trade war between U.S. and China is anticipated to restrict the overall market growth over the forecast period.
