An electronic component includes a ceramic sintered body, and a plurality of first and second inner electrodes alternately arranged inside the ceramic sintered body to be opposed to each other in a third direction with a ceramic layer interposed between the adjacent first and second inner electrodes. The first and second inner electrodes are each arranged to be exposed to a third or fourth surface without being exposed to fifth and sixth surfaces. Heterogeneous regions, which include solid solutions of metals included in the first and second inner electrodes and the ceramic sintered body, are arranged continuously in opposite end portions of the ceramic sintered body in a first direction to extend from one side end to an opposite side end of a region where the first and second inner electrodes are disposed in a third direction.
