China's PCB production value drives the development of flying probe testers

The flying probe tester is used for analog component testing and analog signal analysis. It has the advantages of being free from grid restrictions, high flexibility, convenient operation, saving testing costs, and improving shipping efficiency. Flying probe tester is mainly used to test PCB. It is an instrument for testing PCB boards with many layers of components, large wiring density and small distance between measuring points. PCB boards have a wide range of applications and high market demand, which is good for the development of the flying probe tester industry.

Flying probe testers are mainly used for PCB boards. PCB boards have a wide range of applications and are used in many fields such as communications, computers, consumer electronics, automotive lists, aerospace, and the market demand continues to rise. With the gradual maturity of 5G technology, the number of 5G macro base stations has increased. In the first half of 2021, the number of 5G macro base stations constructed in my country is about 720,000. The increase in the number of 5G base stations has driven the continuous increase in the market demand for high-speed PCBs.

According to the "2022-2027 Flying Probe Tester Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report" released by Xinsijie, benefiting from the development of the terminal industry, my country's PCB output and output value continue to rise, and the output in 2019 is about 7 100 million square meters, the output value is 33.3 billion US dollars. And driven by the development of automotive electronics, the domestic PCB output value continues to rise, reaching 38.2 billion US dollars in 2021. my country's PCB output value ranks first in the world. Driven by the development of the Chinese market, the global PCB output value is relatively high. It is expected that the market size will reach 80 billion US dollars by 2025.

The rapid development of the global and domestic PCB board industry has also promoted the rising market demand for flying probe testers, and the flying probe tester industry has developed rapidly. In 2020, the global flying probe tester market size is about 150 million US dollars. In the future, driven by the development of the automotive electronics industry, the flying probe tester market size will maintain a growing trend, reaching 170 million US dollars by 2025.

In terms of market competition, the manufacturers of flying probe testers include Takaya Corporation, ATG Luther & Maelzer GmbH, SPEA and other companies. The above three companies account for about 80% of the market, and the market is highly concentrated. In the world, Europe, the United States and Japan have leading technological advantages in the field of flying probe testers, and have a large market competitive advantage. my country's layout in the field of PCB boards is relatively late, the production technology and equipment are immature, and it mainly relies on imports. However, in recent years, with the transfer of the semiconductor industry to mainland China, the number of domestic PCB board production lines has increased, and the demand for equipment has continued to grow, which is conducive to the localization of flying probe testers.

Industry analysts from Xinsijie said that flying probe testers are mainly used in PCB boards. As an important electronic component, PCB boards have continued to grow in terminal applications such as electronic appliances and automobiles. Especially in recent years, the intelligent development of automobiles , will benefit the development of the PCB board industry. The PCB board industry has developed rapidly, and the domestic demand for flying probe testers has risen.
