Market dynamics delving into market challenges, drivers and restraints have also been investigated. Revenue forecasts by geographic region, pricing and distribution trends are looked into. This research also covers the competitive framework and market share analysis of the industry participants.

This Frost & Sullivan research service titled World Solder Paste, Solder Preform and Surface Mount Adhesives Market provides an overview of these markets along with analysis of key drivers, restraints, and challenges. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the trends impacting the vendors and the expected revenues for different geographical regions.

World Solder Paste, Solder Preform and Surface Mount Adhesives Markets Geared for Growth with High Demand from Electronics Sector

The solder perform market has evolved steadily over the years, adapting to the varying needs and changing requirements of end users. The escalation in demand for consumer electronics, automotive electronics, aerospace engineering, and medical devices has contributed to the proliferation of in surface mount technology (SMT) assembly lines around the world. Also, the increase in printed circuit board (PCB) complexity has augmented the growth of flexible and accurate flue glass dispensers. The market for solder preforms is expected to follow an upward trajectory in the years to come as they greatly reduce complexity and produce robust end products. Both the solder paste and the solder perform segments are expected to develop at a steady pace with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7 percent and 6.8 percent from 2008 to 2014 respectively.

The electronic industry has been gravitating toward lead-free products. “The future of solder is lead-free” notes the analyst of this research service. “With government regulations in effect and demand for environment friendly products from end users, the revenues for lead-free solder product types – Rosin, Water-washable, and No-clean – are expected to increase substantially.” In order to meet regional compliance regulations, assembly manufacturers are opting for lead-free solders. Solder performs are gaining acceptance as they come in tape and reel packaging, and can be placed using pick and place equipment. The market is poised for further expansion as it has the capability to support high-end technologies, keeping abreast of the latest innovations in the electronics industry.

Rising Raw Material Costs prove Challenging for Solder Manufacturers

The markets are facing an unprecedented period of volatility, and solder manufacturers are battling high raw material prices. The cost of tin and silver has touched a 19-year high, and the industry must understand the impact of skyrocketing costs on the supply of solder alloys. The ripple effects have been felt on the soldering materials supply chain, which is already stretched to its limits due to pricing pressures. Absorbing increased costs of such magnitudes will be a daunting task for market participants but competitive pricing is crucial for generating sales. “Many companies have undertaken a spend analysis initiative, which is a process of collecting and categorizing expenditure data to gain far greater visibility into how and where procurement dollars are spent,” notes the analyst. “This is accompanied by a strategic sourcing effort.” The companies re-look at their procurement strategies to manage the supply chains down to the raw material level. Procurement strategies ideally suited for the product need to be revamped to help manage the supply chain.

Quality, reliability, and ease-of-use are important purchase criteria for end users. There is a distinct preference for high-level automation and flexible equipment that can match up to the design requirements of the PCB. Great stakes are placed on the quality of after sales service provided by the manufacturer. Apart from trying to expand their share in a market where demand is on an upward swing, participants must focus on maintaining their customer base. Most manufacturers rely on high brand equity that they enjoy to be sure of repeat business.
