Global Metal Oxide Varistors Market - Snapshot

Metal oxide varistors (MOV) is a frontline solution for different semiconductor and electronics devices.  In addition, metal oxide varistors are used to protect a circuit from high voltage surge. When a voltage surge exceeds a specified voltage, the varistors suppresses the voltage to protect the circuit. Increasing demand for metal oxide varistor applications across consumer electronics, telecommunication equipment, automotive electronics, and industrial equipment has led to the adoption of metal oxide varistors worldwide. On the parameters of safety, efficiency and cost, metal oxide varistors have cost advantage as they are the cheapest among passive components. The global market for metal oxide varistors is forecast to quickly grow to US$ 16,769.2Mnby 2026 from US$ 6,220.0Mn in 2017, recording a CAGR of 11.9%.
