World Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) Services Markets

Frost & Sullivan, March 2002

Economic Slowdown Sparks Growth in ATE Services Markets

With the significant downturn in the global economy, there has also been a corresponding slowing of ATE sales. However, this decline in sales has had a positive impact on the services sector as firms opt to upgrade and modify machines rather than replace them. Over the forecast period, demand from the electronic functional testing and telecommunications industries should drive market growth.

This Frost & Sullivan analysis offers a comprehensive guide to the world ATE services markets. By identifying potential challenges and providing strategic recommendations, this study offers your firm valuable information for creating an effective business plan.

Complete Solution Packages Key to Increasing Market Share

With protocols and system standards rapidly evolving, especially within the communications industry, ATE vendors are struggling to keep pace. Market participants are now developing more sophisticated testing methods in order to efficiently service these increasingly complicated units. Consequently, consumers are seeking vendors that not only provide advanced test equipment but also offer education and aftersales support.

Generally, demand is for fast installation and set-up, a minimal skill level for operators, and continued service and support states the studys author. Participants who offer a total solution that includes education, consultation, problem solving, engineering, and aftersales support will enjoy a larger share of revenues.

Growing Trend Brings Software-Based Solutions to the Forefront

Over the past few years, the ATE services industry has started moving away from hardware testing strategies in favor of software-based solutions. This trend, which allows for the quick modification of software-based applications, has become especially prevalent with the acceleration of the personal computer revolution.

With the introduction of increasingly user-friendly interfaces, the processes are becoming easier to perform,” says the analyst. “A system can be upgraded simply and cheaply by installing a new software program in the existing system. In addition, suitable solutions allow complete data capture and storage of all testing results.

This Frost & Sullivan research provides an in-depth analysis of this rapidly evolving marketplace, allowing your company to capitalize on lucrative opportunities within the industry.
