Abstract
Research Overview
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.
