Global NTC and PTC Thermistors Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) and PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistors are types of temperature-sensitive resistors commonly used in various electronic applications.

An NTC thermistor is a temperature sensor that exhibits a decrease in resistance with an increase in temperature. It means that as the temperature rises, the resistance of the NTC thermistor decreases. NTC thermistors are widely used for temperature measurement, control, and compensation in circuits and systems. Their resistance-temperature relationship follows a nonlinear curve, allowing for precise temperature sensing within a specific range.

On the other hand, PTC thermistors exhibit an increase in resistance with an increase in temperature. This means that as the temperature rises, the resistance of the PTC thermistor increases. PTC thermistors are often used in protective devices or as self-regulating heaters. They can act as a thermal switch, with their resistance quickly rising when the temperature exceeds a certain threshold, providing overcurrent protection or preventing overheating in circuits.

Both NTC and PTC thermistors are made from semiconducting materials, typically ceramic or polymer-based, that exhibit a significant change in resistance with temperature. Their unique characteristics make them valuable components in temperature sensing, control, and protection applications across various industries, including automotive, consumer electronics, medical devices, and industrial equipment.
