Faced with this problem, many research scholars have put forward their own views. All the opinions are that China consume the most thick film resistors, accounting for 45.07% of all thick film resistors. Why is China's consumption of thick-film resistors so large that it has a lot to do with China's economic development over the past few decades. China is currently the world's factory for electronic products in the world. Many electronic devices are produced in Chinese factories. These electronic products require a large number of thick film resistors. Many well-known thick film resistor brands all over the world sell their own products in China.
In these studies, the main segments of the thick film resistors in other consumer markets are in several regions, first in North America, and the total number of consumer thick film resistors in North America accounted for 6.84%. This is followed by the European region, where the total number of thick film resistors is 10.82%. Southeast Asia accounted for 14.68%, Japan accounted for 8.23%, other parts of Asia accounted for 9.36%, and the rest of the world accounted for 4.99%. In addition to these areas, other consumer markets are almost very few. The consumption market for thick film resistors can also reflect the economic level of these regions and the production capacity of electronic products.
The analysis of consumption is also pointed out that these years, thick film resistors are shipped in the form of SMD products, which has the lowest cost advantage compared with through-hole technology thick film resistors. Manufacturers have very good prospects for SMD thick film resistor industry. Optimistically, the demand for SMD thick film resistors will increase in the next few years. China is the most promising country in the SMD thick film resistor consumer market. It is expected that the use of SMD thick film resistors may reach a peak in these few years, and major resistor manufacturers are planning to sell in this region.
