[191 Pages Report] The Electrostatic Discharge Market size was estimated at USD 15.40 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 16.23 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 5.49% to reach USD 22.41 billion by 2030.
Electrostatic discharge is the impulsive flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects pushed by contact, an electrical short, or dielectric breakdown. This phenomenon occurs when a high-voltage charge accumulates on a surface and subsequently finds a path to a point with a lower electric potential. This rapid charge transfer can result in a visible spark or can occur without any indication. ESD is a critical consideration in many industries, particularly in the manufacturing and handling of electronic components and devices. Electronic components are often sensitive to static charges, and a discharge can cause permanent damage or failure, leading to significant economic losses and reduced product reliability. ESD products help manage and mitigate the risks associated with electrostatic discharge in environments where electronic devices are manufactured, assembled, tested, or handled. Growth in the ESD market is primarily driven by the rapid advancement and continuous evolution of semiconductor technologies, regulations, and quality standards that mandate the deployment of ESD protection mechanisms, a rise in the use of automated systems, and an increasing trend of miniaturization with the rising complexity of electronic components. However, the ESD market faces several challenges, such as the high cost of developing electrostatic discharge solutions and limitations in ESD materials that dissipate static charges. On the other hand, recent potential opportunities in the ESD market include growing technological advancements in electrostatic discharge solutions, growth of the automotive sector, with electric and self-driving vehicles needing robust ESD protection for reliability and safety, and continuous rollout of 5G technology worldwide.
