Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025 - 2037

Surface Mount Technology Market size was valued at USD 6.29 billion in 2024 and is poised to cross USD 16.1 billion by the end of 2037, expanding at more than 7.5% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of surface mount technology is estimated at USD 6.67 billion.

Industries are moving away from through-hole technology in favor of surface mount technology due to its many benefits, including its lower component count, higher component density, superior mechanical performance, and simpler, quicker automated assembly. Thus, it is anticipated that surface mount technology will become more popular.

Additionally, it is projected that most electronics will become more compact and smaller, and there is an increase in demand for these tiny components, which is made possible by SMT. New devices have a substantially higher component density and more connections per component, although they are smaller than older ones. This suggests that electronic devices with the smallest possible form factors, such as smartphones, wearables, and IoT, can be more advanced and efficient than before. Between 2019 and 2022, the number of wearable gadgets globally expanded dramatically. From 929 million the year before to approximately 1.1 billion in 2022, this number grew worldwide.

Surface Mount Technology Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Increase in the Number of Internet of Things (IoT) Devices- The development of wearable technology and IoT devices is increasing demand for SMT in a number of ways. To enhance the user experience, IoT technologies and devices that are portable and small can be easily incorporated into a number of products. There are well over 13 billion linked IoT devices across the globe. IoT devices are projected to reach 25.4 billion by 2030.
  • Rising Demand for Components Made of Smaller Consumer Electronics- In the consumer electronics industry, new technologies and innovators are always developing, providing consumers with access to cutting-edge features like fingerprint sensors in smartphones and smart televisions. Around the globe now, 6.8 billion people use smartphones. This equates to a smartphone penetration rate of more than 80% given that there are 8 billion people on the earth. In response to the rising demand for smaller, more compact devices, electronic components have been made smaller and more compact.
  • Advent of Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART)- Self-monitoring, analysis, and reporting technology (SMART) has revolutionized the technological landscape. SMART is rapidly becoming more and more widely used, from smart devices like smartwatches, and laptops to even more extensive uses in smart homes and factories. The necessity to quickly and properly install and inspect each component has fuelled the need for SMT equipment. 216.43 million people used smartwatches in 2022, and an estimated USD 43.39 billion in revenue was generated.

Challenges

  • High-Frequency Applications and Thermal Management Are Necessary- The process of creating an electrical device is difficult because many factors, particularly in SMT, must be considered. When designing the device, factors including high-frequency applications, thermal control, and stress on the PCB from an improper coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) must be considered. Understanding how a change in temperature will impact an object's size is made simpler by the CTE. When designing for high-frequency applications, such as telephony and consumer electronics, additional factors such as the impedance of the package signal lines, cross-talk noise between these lines, and inductance interconnects on the PCB must be considered.
  • Systems for Surface Mounting Equipment are Expensive.
  • Surface Mount Technology Should not be Used to Mount Power Circuits Or Other Components.
