Thermistor production in India is limited and not sufficient to meet the domestic demand. As a result, it is imported from Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, China, etc. Hence, there is a huge scope for increase in the domestic production of thermistors.
It is so because of two reasons. They are as follows:
First, there already exists a large domestic market.
Second, the aggregate demand of the domestic market is poised to increase in near-future due to increase in demand across all verticals. For instance, consumer electronics, healthcare, automobile, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), medical instruments, aerospace, defense. The largest share of demand is expected to be from the automobile sector.
