Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Voltage Dependent Resistors (VDR) market size was valued at US$ 1174 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1684 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.9% during review period.
In 2025, global varistor production reached approximately 25787 million units, with an average global market price of around US$ 44.26 per K units. A varistor (a.k.a. voltage-dependent resistor (VDR)) is a surge protecting electronic component with an electrical resistance that varies with the applied voltage. It has a nonlinear, non-ohmic current–voltage characteristic that is similar to that of a diode. Unlike a diode however, it has the same characteristic for both directions of traversing current. Traditionally, varistors were constructed by connecting two rectifiers, such as the copper-oxide or germanium-oxide rectifier in antiparallel configuration. At low voltage the varistor has a high electrical resistance which decreases as the voltage is raised. Modern varistors are primarily based on sintered ceramic metal-oxide materials which exhibit directional behavior only on a microscopic scale. This type is commonly known as the metal-oxide varistor (MOV).
Main Application Areas
Widely used in new energy vehicles, photovoltaic energy storage, industrial control, communication equipment, and consumer electronics, with automotive electronics and energy storage devices emerging as new growth drivers.
Technological Development Trends
The industry is evolving toward miniaturized packaging, high-voltage and high-energy capabilities, and intelligent integration. The development of new varistor materials is driving improvements in product performance.
