According to the latest research, the global Solder Mask market size was valued at USD 963.37 million in 2022 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.76% during the forecast period, reaching USD 1273.41 million by 2028.
Solder mask is a thin layer of polymer that is put on a circuit board to protect the copper from oxidation and shorts during operation. It also protects the PCB from environmental influences such as dust and several other contaminants that may lead to shorts in the long run.
In order to curb the COVID-19 epidemic, most countries have introduced many policies, including border blockade and social distancing. The epidemic prevention and control measures will affect the flow of people and activities, and in turn affect logistics, making the production of manufacturing, affected by the supply of raw materials and labor shortages.
For the Solder Mask industry, the blockade policy will affect the supply of raw materials and export trade of products. The social distancing policy may have a great impact on the production of products, especially for some factories, they will spend more money to maintain production during the epidemic, and factories may face the risk of closure in some areas. With the gradual control of the epidemic, some factories began to resume operation. However, while operating production, enterprises need to protect the life and health of employees, such as purchasing masks, disinfectants and other epidemic prevention materials, disinfecting the working environment before and after the production, and testing the body temperature of employees every day to ensure the health of employees. These measures will increase the production cost of enterprises and affect the development of enterprises.
But in the long term, the COVID-19 outbreak may cause more factories to start using more automated production lines to avoid the pandemic's impact on the industry. In addition, the application of IoT technology may also bring more opportunities for industry participants.
Technological progress and continuous innovation will promote the development of Solder Mask industry
In the past decade, the printing circuit board manufacturing mainly used inkjet system to create nomenclature markings. However, in recent years, with the continuous development of technology, manufacturers can directly print solder mask on the surface of circuit board or panel. This is sometimes called direct jetting (DJ), which applies mask ink to the surface of printed circuit board according to design input. Direct jetting is accomplished by using a piezoelectric head. DJ method reduces most of the process steps, and brings the following advantages: Minimized material usage; Reduce capital equipment and process variables; Environmental protection processing; Eliminate excessive use of solder mask.
Competition in the industry is fierce
For most industries the intensity of competitive rivalry is the major determinant of the competitiveness of the industry. Having an understanding of industry rivals is vital to successfully market a product. Positioning pertains to how the public perceives a product and distinguishes it from competitors. A business must be aware of its competitors marketing strategy and pricing and also be reactive to any changes made. The Solder Mask industry is facing a fierce competitive position. Many companies have been doing business in this industry. They pay more attention to R&D, product innovation, channel construction and customer relationship management, trying to gain greater market share and competitive advantage.
