Introduction

Global Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Equipment Market (USD Million), 2021 - 2031

In the year 2024, the Global Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Equipment Market was valued at USD 3,888.23 million. The size of this market is expected to increase to USD 5,924.11 million by the year 2031, while growing at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.2%.

Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Equipment Market has revolutionized electronics manufacturing by directly mounting components onto printed circuit boards (PCBs), eliminating the need for drilled holes characteristic of through-hole technology. This advancement allows for smaller, lighter, and more densely packed electronic devices. Components used in SMT, known as Surface Mount Devices (SMDs), feature small metal tabs or end caps that can be soldered directly onto the surface of the PCBs. This enables manufacturers to achieve greater miniaturization and higher component density on a single board.

The demand for laptops and servers has surged following the global pandemic, driven by increased remote work and the expansion of cloud storage and collaboration tools. Companies like Micron Technology report heightened demand from data centers due to the growing remote-work economy, intensified gaming activities, and the rise of e-commerce. As a result, there's been a notable increase in server and data center deployments worldwide, supported by a robust infrastructure of data centers, particularly in countries like the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

Furthermore, the miniaturization trend in electronic components has facilitated the development of small, portable devices with powerful processing capabilities. These advancements in SMT technology allow for the integration of components into wearable devices and other portable electronics, enhancing mobility and usability. Manufacturers are continually refining Ultra High Density Interconnect (UHDI) PCB standards to accommodate these advancements, ensuring that modern electronics meet the demands of smaller form factors and higher performance expectations.
