World SMT Screen Printers and Glue Dispenser Markets
Frost & Sullivan, Jan 2006
Need for High Investment in R&D
With constant pressure from customers for faster, more accurate dispensers and screen printers, manufacturers are under extreme duress to keep up with the demands. To fuel this further, the constant changes in technology, especially in the electronics industry forces the glue dispenser manufacturers to constantly update their technology in order to keep in pace with the industry changes. This, in turn, means a lot of capital investment in their R&D division. Most manufacturers do not have the ability to invest in constantly updating their technology and find themselves loosing their market share to the companies who do.
Explosive Growth of EMS Providers Accelerating Market Growth
With the industry emerging positively from the economic crash, the OEMs have come to appreciate the benefits of outsourcing their manufacturing process and retaining their core competencies. This allows them a wider room to strategize and grow competitively.
The EMS market is growing steadily. EMS providers are increasing their SMT (surface mount technology) capabilities and increasing their in-house SMT lines. This directly results in increase sales of screen printer and glue dispensers markets.
The SMT Screen Printers and Glue Dispenser Industry is Expected to Witness a Slow Yet Steady Growth
The screen printers and the glue dispenser markets have shown an increase in revenues after the economic downturn in 2001. With the increasing trends towards outsourcing and a rebounding electronics industry, the SMT market is enjoying increased growth and new opportunities. The screen printers market is expected to have a compound annual growth of 9.8 percent.
Among the different product types, namely manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic screen printers, semi-automatic and fully-automatic are expected to enjoy a steady growth. However, the market for glue dispensers is expected to experience a gradual slow down. The glue dispenser market is expected to have a CAGR of 7.0 percent.

Unique Challenges Within the Screen Printers and Glue Dispensers Markets
With the industry focusing on reducing production rate on the shop floor, there is an increasing emphasis on the throughput and cycle times. The assemblers are increasing demands for faster machines that will comply with their need for faster production rates. Glue dispensers and screen printers have already borne the stigma of being the slowest SMT machine when compared to the other SMT equipments.
Among the major areas of concentration in technology advancements, chip placement and high speed placement equipments top the list. This drives the challenge to realize high speed dispensing and printing to meet the faster speeds of other SMT equipment down the line.
Competitive Analysis of the Screen Printers and Glue Dispenser Manufacturers Within the Market
The level of competition within the surface mount technology (SMT) capital equipment market is rampant. The customers are demanding integrated solutions to overcome the issue of standards mismatch. With the trend for integrated solutions on the rise, the level of consolidations and strategic alliance is also expected to increase. The formation of manufacturing clusters is also on the rise. Due to these factors, the level of competition is increasing. The companies will try to try to capture more market share by increasing their product offering and increasing the level of sophistication of technology and automation.
Price Analysis for the World SMT Screen Printer and Glue Dispenser Industries
The price of the screen printers and glue dispensers, irrespective of the product types, are expected to experience a gradual decline during the forecast period. The price of the screen printers does not vary much region-wise. The only factor that could affect the pricing trend is the cost of freight and other distribution expenses. Even this will not have a significant impact on the prices. The manufacturers try to maintain a uniform global price, as a result of their product price strategies. Though the level of competition will have a major impact in the erosion of price, the increasing technology enhancements will work to balance the price variations.
Revenue Forecasts for the World EMS Industry
This research provides the revenue forecast for the World Screen Printers and Glue Dispenser Markets for seven years. This forecast is done keeping in mind the effects of the various drivers, challenges and restraints within the market. The research also contains revenues by geographical split and by product types.
Technology Trends and Challenges
The fast-paced electronics industry demands faster, smaller, and complex assemblies at reduced costs. This acts as a constant driver for the SMT industry to continuously innovate their technology in order to remain competitive. Today’s SMT production requires dispensing and printing techniques that are flexible and easy to use. T
he major factors that drive development in technology are reduced set up times and faster throughput times. Manufacturers are now investing more into their R&D process for both screen printers and glue dispensers.

Technologies
The following technologies are covered in this research:
- Throughput Time: a measure of the number of defect-free printed circuit boards (PCBs) that can be produced within a specific period of time. The throughput time depends on the speed of the cycle time. However, the main criteria here is the stress on defect free PCBs.
- Cycle Time: the speed at which the board moves in and out of the machine. This also includes the speed of all the basic operations such as the alignment of the board with the appropriate target, the actual printing of the solder paste, moving the board to its original position and moving it down the line.
- Customer relationship marketing (CRM): a software collection relating to the methodologies, software, and usually Internet capabilities that help an enterprise manage customer relationships in an organized way.
