Pin Inspection Equipment Market Size:

The global pin inspection equipment market is expected to grow from USD 1.215 billion in 2025 to USD 1.690 billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 6.82%.

The pin inspection equipment is the quality checker of PCB pins, helping in ruling out any defects such as missing or potential pin offsets and identifying co-planarity. The growing miniaturization of electronics is the major driver of the pin inspection equipment market. The increasing usage of PCB components in electronics is boosting the demand for pin inspection equipment. As such, the booming consumer electronics industry is significantly fueling the market growth of pin inspection equipment, as this equipment provides improved defect analysis with better accuracy while increasing productivity.

Strict regulations and standards related to quality control and inspection of PCBs, along with technological advancements, are also boosting the global pin inspection equipment market growth. PCB manufacturers and assemblers are required to implement inspections for boards at different production stages in order to ensure both the high quality and reliability of assembled PCBs by eliminating surface defects.  

Pin Inspection Equipment Market Driver:

• 3-D Pin inspection

The opportunity for the pin inspection equipment market lies in the advancement of 3D pin inspection equipment. Market players are offering 3D pin inspection equipment to maintain their position while expanding their market reach, thus positively impacting the market’s growth. For example, Altus Group’s product, Koh Young – KY-P3, provides a 3D pin inspection technique and a combination of both advanced, high-resolution optics and highly innovative vision algorithms for the pin inspection industry. The company Nordson YESTECH also launched its new FX-940 ULTRA 3D AOI Inspection Solution at Productionica 2019.

The global pin inspection equipment market is segmented based on technology and geography. The global pin inspection equipment market is segmented by technology: Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI), X-Ray Inspection, and others.

Pin Inspection Equipment Market Segmentation Analysis:

• By technology, X-Ray Inspection has a significant share in the global pin inspection equipment market

X-Ray inspection is widely used in the process of PCB assembly to test the quality of PCBs, which is regarded as the most important step by quality-oriented PCB manufacturers. The demand for X-Ray pin inspection equipment is driven by its ability to find defects like wiring assemblies, semiconductor packaging, BGA solder defects, voids in solder joints, and high mix and low volume. It also provides high inspection speed while saving time. Some products available in the market which have X-Ray inspection equipment include Vitrox advanced 3D X-Ray Inspection (V810i Series) which is designed to specially cater to different sizes of PCB assembly, it enables examination at a micron level with maximum throughput. Viscon manufactures a 3d AXI system that is distinguished by fast handling and 3D image quality of up to 3 PCBs. It is usually used in production lines that require high throughput despite an extensive inspection of hidden solder joints.

VJ Electoniix Inc. company pioneer in rework technologies and a global provider of advanced X-ray inspection and component counting systems released the XQuik III in their range of high-speed X-ray components. The market for pin inspection equipment based on Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) technology is expected to rise at a decent pace over the forecast period on account of its ability to find defects like solder paste volume, component position, component absence, component polarity, and solder joint defects in a cost-effective manner. 

Pin Inspection Equipment Market Geographical Outlook:

• APAC is the major pin inspection equipment market

Regionally, the global pin inspection equipment market is classified into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific. The Asia Pacific accounted for the major market share in 2019 and will remain in its position till the end of the forecast period. This dominance is mainly attributed to China’s presence as the major electronic manufacturing hub in the region. Moreover, the growing semiconductor industry in countries like South Korea and Taiwan, with support from governments, is further driving the market growth of pin inspection equipment in this region.

According to data from the World Bank Group, India stands among the top 100 countries in ease of doing business and is now aiming at the top 50 brackets. As this continues, consumer electronics products and components produced in the country can be seen gaining impressive momentum. According to CEAMA (Consumer Electronics and Appliances Manufacturers Association), the overall production of consumer electronics increased from US$8.065 billion in 2015-16 to US$9.365 billion in 2016-17. The recently passed National Electronic Policy 2019 by the Union Cabinet holds high potential to make the country a global hub for Electronic System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) while making the domestic electronics sector more globally competitive.
