Market Introduction
North America is one of the technologically advanced regions, with the presence of major economies such as the US, Canada, and Mexico. The developed countries in the region are known for adoption of advanced technologies, high standards of living, and developed infrastructure. Several industries such as automotive, transportation, electronics, and telecommunications, in the region are expanding their production scale to cater to the consumer demands. High disposable incomes and technological advancements have been propelling the growth of the consumer electronics industry. Smartphones, personal computers, tablets, music players, washing machines, and TVs have a broader user base in North America. A strong demand for semiconductor testing services and increase in manufacturing of consumer electronics equipment are the key factors for the growth of the probe card market. Also, increased penetration of consumer electronics is the major factor driving the growth of the North America probe card market.
North America is among the worst-hit regions by the COVID-19 pandemic. The US, Canada, and Mexico have witnessed a significant rise in the number of COVID-19 infected patients. COVID-19 has negatively impacted manufacturing businesses in the region in four critical areas, such as supply chain/operations, workforce, 2020 investments, and product offering. In the first nine months, overhead costs, including expenses for sales, research & development (R&D), and administration of various providers fell adversely, due to severe measures taken during the pandemic. Post lockdown, the market witnessed increasing demand for digital devices. North America is among the eminent regions in adopting smart or IoT-based devices due to favorable infrastructure that support high-speed internet services. The adoption of 5G network has driven the market growth post lockdown. The COVID-19 outbreak has a major impact on manufacturing facilities as production capacities were lowered. As the demand for electronics remained constant, it helped the market to resume the growth. For instance, in December 2020, Qualcomm Inc., a leading manufacturer of microprocessors, predicted that the shipments of 5G smartphones will double in 2022 owing to increasing 5G network deployment. Such increasing adoption of 5G smartphones is have some kind of positive impact after the lockdown period; while in lockdown, it certainly hampered the market growth in a negative manner.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The probe card market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 459.89 million in 2021 to US$ 703.69 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2021 to 2028. With the growing digitalization, the need for 5G networks is increasing across the region. According to the Economics Times issue published in May 2021, the US has one of the most advanced 5G networks in the region. US is already the region’s largest smartphone market, and it claims to have the world’s largest 4G market. Owing to the expansion of 5G networks, many countries in the region are continuously striving for the development of network infrastructure, which is bolstering the demand for advanced integrated circuit (IC) chips. The rise in adoption of 5G networks is emerging as a significant opportunity for companies in the electronics & semiconductor sector to develop advanced RF modules using system-in-package (SiP) technology for connectivity. According to the Ericsson’s mobility report, the share of 5G network in the North American market is expected to grow from 4% in 2020 to 80% by 2026, while the rest 20% would be held by the 4G technology. This highlights the opportunities for electronic companies to develop new electronics devices embedded with advanced IC chips to meet the evolving performance requirements. These developments are triggering the need of advanced probe cards for the testing of advanced ICs.
