Global Soldering Equipment Market Overview

According to Market Research Future (MRFR), the global soldering equipment market is estimated to reach a value of USD 1.1 billion with a CAGR of 9.56% from 2023 - 2032 (forecast period). The report outlines the opportunities, strengths, threats, and possible business risks and offers a rigorous analysis of the market situation with the impact of COVID-19.

Soldering equipment links two or more electronic parts together by melting the solder around the gap. Solder is a molten mixture of lead, tin, brass, and silver. Soldering equipment is used in various end-use industries, such as automotive, energy & power, aerospace & defense, communication, and electrical & electronics. Soldering equipment techniques are known as infrared reflow, hot gas convection, or phase reflow. In double-sided PCBs, the reflow process is repeated either using the glue or the solder paste to hold the components in place.
