Fluid dispensing systems play a crucial role in electronics manufacturing, where the precise application of fluids, such as adhesives, coatings, and sealants, is essential for ensuring accurate amounts of glue or epoxy application to adhere components such as chips, sensors, and connectors onto circuit boards. For instance, in May 2022, according to Canalys, a Singapore-based global technology firm, smartphone shipments in North America totaled 39.0 million units in the first quarter of 2022, reflecting a 3.7% year-on-year increase. Additionally, in Q1 2022, Apple experienced a 19% growth, securing a dominant market share of 51%. Samsung, with a 1% growth, held a 27% share of the market, while TCL and Google accounted for 4% and 3% of the market share, respectively. Therefore, the increasing demand for electronic devices propels the growth of the fluid dispensing systems market.


Prominent companies within the fluid dispensing systems market are dedicated to the development of cutting-edge solutions, with a focus on innovative systems such as network-capable fluid dispensers. A network-capable fluid dispenser is characterized by its ability to connect to a network, facilitating communication, control, and monitoring functionalities. A notable example is Nordson Corporation, a US-based firm specializing in manufacturing fluid dispensing solutions, which introduced the 'UltimusPlus' in January 2022. This fluid dispenser, equipped with network capabilities, enhances operational efficiency by enabling remote programming directly through a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The UltimusPlus boasts Ethernet connectivity using Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), allowing seamless integration with Smart Factory and Industry 4.0 manufacturing environments.

Leading companies in the fluid dispensing systems market are also concentrating on inventive solutions such as jet valve dispensing systems. A jet valve dispensing system is a precision fluid dispensing system designed to dispense small volumes of fluids accurately and efficiently in a controlled manner. Techcon, a US-based manufacturer of fluid dispensing systems, launched the 'TS9800 Series' in March 2022, consisting of the TS9800 Piezo-actuated Jet Valve paired with the TS980 Smart Controller. The TS9800 Jet Valve employs piezo-based non-contact jetting technology to enhance speed and precision in the dispensing process. It can dispense dots and lines as small as 0.5nL at a continuous frequency of up to 1500 Hz and a maximum burst frequency of 2000 Hz, ensuring accurate jetting even for viscosities as high as 2 million cps.

In April 2021, ATS Automation Tooling Systems, a Canada-based automation company, completed the acquisition of BioDot Inc. for $84 million.
