Global Automotive Grade Thin Film Precision Chip Resistors Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Automotive Grade Thin Film Precision Chip Resistors market size is predicted to grow from US$ 153 million in 2025 to US$ 229 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2025 to 2031.

The resistive layer is sputtered (vacuum deposition) onto a ceramic base. This creates a uniform metallic film of around 0.1 micrometre thick. Often an alloy of Nickel and Chromium is used (Nichrome). They are produced with different layer thicknesses to accommodate a range of resistance Revenues. The layer is dense and uniform, which makes is suitable to trim the resistance Revenue by a subtractive process. With photo etching or by laser trimming patterns are created to increase the resistive path and to calibrate the resistance Revenue. The base is often alumina ceramic, silicon or glass. Usually thin film is produced as a chip or SMD resistor, but the film can also be applied onto a cylindrical base with axial leads. In this case, more often the term metal film resistor is used. Thin film is usually used for precision applications. They feature relatively high tolerances, low temperature coefficients and low noise. Also, for high frequency applications thin film performs better than thick film. Inductance and capacitance are generally lower. The parasitic inductance of thin film can be higher if it is executed as a cylindrical helix (metal film resistor). This higher performance comes with a cost, which can be factors higher than the price of thick film resistors. Typical examples where thin film is used are medical equipment, audio installations, precision controls and measurement devices. The major applications are High precision: Measuring or monitoring equipment, medical or audio applications, precision controls.

The industry has a relatively high market concentration rate. Of the major players of thin film chip resistors, Vishay maintained its first place in the ranking in 2022. Vishay accounted for 27.98% of the global thin film chip resistors revenue market share in 2022. Other players accounted for 11.32%, 9.74% including Susumu and KOA Speer Electronics.
