LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global surface mount technology (SMT) equipment report. This research report also lists five other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
SMT equipment is required to place components such as resistors and capacitors onto a base, which is usually a printed circuit board (PCB). The components placed on the PCB are known as surface mount devices (SMD). Initially, there were two types of SMT equipment used, which includes chip shooters and precision placement machines.
Competitive vendor landscape
There is an intense competition that exists in the global SMT equipment market because there is low product differentiation. Although there are several regional and local manufacturers, the global SMT equipment market is consolidated due to the presence of top vendors such as FUJI MACHINE, JUKI, Mycronic, Nordson, and Panasonic.
“The market is characterized by rapid technological changes, which further increases the competition amongst vendors. For example, the increasing demand for consumer goods will require several PCBs to be integrated into the devices. This will compel EMS firms to purchase several SMT equipment to meet the increasing demand for electronic components,” says Raghu Raj Singh, a lead semiconductor equipment research analyst from Technavio.
Since there is barely any product differentiation, key vendors compete to gain a higher market share. A major factor that Technavio has considered is the goodwill that exists between vendors and customers. Since the equipment is highly expensive, goodwill between vendors and customers plays an important role.
