Electronics is used in automobiles with technological advancements such as advanced driver assistance systems, electric power steering, infotainment systems, and others to include a better experience and make automobiles safer. The thin film chip resistors are used in circuits to manage the electric current supply in order to operate the device or system efficiently. The increased usage of electronics in vehicles are driving the thin film chip resistor market growth. 

However, a lack of profit due to price decreases and the development of new technologies to replace the thin film chip resistor will hinder thin film chip resistor market share growth. The market's growth is likely to be hindered by a lack of profit margins as a result of the lower prices for the thin chip resistor products. Another issue restricting market growth is the current development of technologies that can be utilized as a low-cost alternative for the products. 

Technological advancements and progress in the healthcare sector, such as the emergence of new mobile health technologies known as mHealth, wearable and wireless devices for patient identification, ECG devices, and detection monitors that have thin film chip resistors in them for limiting current flow and maintaining frequency are factors that drive the chip resistor market. Additionally, robots have made regular medical processes safer, such as spraying disinfectants and performing diagnostics. As a result, technical innovation and advancement in the healthcare sector are opportunities to grow the thin film chip resistor market.
