According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global CPTC Thermistor market size was valued at US$ 826 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1173 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 5.2% during review period.
In 2024, global CPTC Ceramic Positive Temperature Coefficient Thermistor production reached approximately 36600 Million units, with an average global market price of around US$ 20.55 per k unit. CPTC Ceramic Positive Temperature Coefficient Thermistor (ceramic positive temperature coefficient thermistor) is a kind of thermistor designed with semiconductor ceramic materials. The main material is barium carbonate, and a small amount of rare earth, recipient elements and additives such as glass are added. Semiconductor resistors with temperature sensitivity are formed through high-temperature sintering. It has a small resistance below the Curie temperature. When the temperature exceeds the Curie temperature, the resistance value increases step by step with the rise in temperature. It is used for overheat sensing in circuits and plays a role in overheat and overcurrent protection.
