Surface Mount Technology Equipment Market is expected to reach a value of US$ 8,014.8 Mn by 2026
The global Surface mount technology equipment market is expected to reach a value of US$ 8,014.8 Mn by 2026. The market is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026. In terms of volume, the market is expected to reach 208.8 thousand unit at a CAGR of over 4% by 2025. Asia Pacific surface mount technology equipment market is projected to have the highest growth during forecast period. Surface mount technology became widely used in the late 1980’s. SMT equipment refers to that equipment which consist of its components placed on its printed circuit board. This technology is known as surface mount technology which has presently replaced the through-hole technology (THT). This technology aids is utilizing both sides of a PCB as and when required. Additionally, it allows a better level of performance as they can be used with pick and place machines.
Rising usage of flex circuit in wearable electronics among different sector mainly in smart phone and smart card industry is the major factor projected to foster the demand and innovation of surface mount technology market during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026. Additionally, growing demand for instruments which is related to medical and defense is anticipated to rise the usage of SMT AXI and AOI equipment. This is likely to lead to boosted usage of surface mounted technology equipment. However, there is a higher price based competition in the global surface mount technology equipment market. The local players of emerging countries are penetrating the markets of established countries by offering inexpensive and effective SMT equipment. Furthermore, seeing the steep growth in world population coupled with rising urbanization, the demand for surface mount technology devices including various switchers, server, and router is expected to grow at a rapid pace in coming decades.
