Market Opportunities for Growth in the Global Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Inspection Equipment Markets
Frost & Sullivan, May 2011, Pages: 129
The surface mount technology (SMT) inspection equipment market is charting new strategies to instill confidence in customers to capitalize on surging demand. Building on creative strategies is vital for creating and taking advantage of new investment opportunities. This study provides an in-depth analysis on SMT inspection equipment markets and best practices that are cornerstone for success. Analysis includes market dynamics such as drivers and restraints, industry challenges,revenue forecasts and unit shipment forecasts, demand analysis, geographic breakdown of revenues, distribution analysis, pricing trends, and Competitive analysis.
Competitive Scenario
The market witnessed transitions in the competitive structure with tier I companies—such as Agilent Technologies, Orbotech, and Teradyne—exiting the market between 2008 and 2009. Increasing competition and lower price margins were contributing factors for this trend.
The market is progressing towards a price-sensitive environment as companies compete increasingly on the basis of price. SMT equipment manufacturers hope that migration towards niche markets and medical, A&D, and automotive will help ease price pressures because these markets use high-end equipment compared to the consumer electronics industry.
The SMT inspection equipment market is expected to witness increasing strategic alliances and mergers and acquisitions (M&As) as participants compete for market share and intensify the nature of competition.
To compete effectively and elevate market presence, SMT equipment manufacturers are strengthening their product portfolio through diversification. AOI inspection companies are testing boundaries for successful penetration into the SPI inspection market and vice versa. This trend is expected to remain steady during the course of the forecast period.
Competitive advantage will depend on a company’s product expertise and the breadth of process knowledge and the time invested within the markets.
