A resistor is a fundamental component in the field of electronics and electrical engineering, acting as a passive two-terminal electrical device that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. Resistors are employed to divide voltages, adjust signal levels, terminate transmission lines, and reduce current flow. The color bands found on them, typically four to six, are used to identify their resistance, tolerance, and sometimes, their temperature coefficient. The operating principle of a resistor revolves around Ohm's law, which states that the voltage across a resistor is proportional to the current flowing through it, with the constant of proportionality being the resistance.
One of the primary advantages of resistors is their ability to protect electronic components from excessive current. They limit the flow of electric current to a safe level, enabling the reliable operation of electronic devices. Furthermore, they can provide a specific voltage for a part of a circuit that needs a lower voltage than the power supply, ensuring the correct operation of such components. Moreover, resistors are instrumental in adjusting signal levels to suit the needs of different parts of a circuit, contributing to the device's overall functionality. The use of resistors also extends to generating heat, for instance, in appliances like toasters or space heaters, where resistors convert electrical energy into thermal energy.
The extensive use of resistors across various industries, such as consumer electronics, automotive, telecommunications, industrial automation, and aerospace and defense, represents one of the key factors driving the growth of the market across the globe. For instance, in the automotive industry, they are utilized in electronic systems of vehicles, controlling functions like power management, infotainment, and driver assistance systems. In line with this, the telecommunications sector uses resistors in devices like mobiles and signal transmission equipment to control electrical conditions and ensure proper functioning. The market is also driven by the increasing demand for electronic devices, advancements in technology that call for complex electronic circuits, and the rising adoption of automation in various industries. In addition to this, the evolution of the automotive industry towards electric vehicles, which employ resistors in their electronic systems, is further fueling the growth of the market. Apart from this, the increasing trends of miniaturization and digitization in the electronics sector are facilitating the demand for resistors. Moreover, the advent of 5G technology is driving the demand for resistors for its infrastructure and devices, which is creating a positive outlook for the market across the globe.

Capital requirements generally include land acquisition, construction, equipment procurement, installation, pre-operative expenses, and initial working capital. The total amount varies with capacity, technology, and location.
To start a resistor manufacturing business, one needs to conduct a market feasibility study, secure required licenses, arrange funding, select suitable land, procure equipment, recruit skilled labor, and establish a supply chain and distribution network.
Resistor manufacturing requires raw materials such as carbon, metal alloys like nichrome, metal oxides, and ruthenium. These materials are combined with binders, ceramic substrates, and protective coatings like vitreous enamel or epoxy to form the finished product.
A resistor factory typically requires wire-winding or film-deposition machines, ceramic or metal-oxide substrate formers, coating and curing ovens, trimming machines for precision adjustment, soldering and lead-forming equipment, testing and quality-control instruments, packaging units, and material-handling systems.
The main steps generally include:
Select substrate and resistive materials
Form resistive element on substrate
Attach leads or terminals securely
Apply protective coating and cure
Trim resistance to precise value
Test electrical performance and stability
Package finished resistors
Storage for distribution
