Based on component, the surface mount technology market is segmented into active, passive, and electrochemical. The passive component segment held a share of around 55% in 2022 and is expected to grow at a lucrative pace through 2032. Passive electronic components do not require an external power source to function and are essential for the proper functioning of electronic circuits. These components include resistors, capacitors, inductors, and filters. Inductors are passive devices that are used to store energy in a magnetic field. They are used in applications such as power conversion, filtering, and Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Surface mount inductors offer compact size, high inductance, and low resistance for integration with PCBs.
 

Based on end use, the surface mount technology market is segmented into consumer electronics, automotive, pharmaceuticals & medical devices, telecommunication, aerospace & defense, and industrial. The automotive segment is expected to grow rapidly share is anticipated to register a CAGR of 11% till 2032. The rising integration of electronics into automotive applications can be attributed to the increased demand for safety, connectivity, infotainment systems, and electric vehicles.
