Market Overview:
The global water soluble solder pastes market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for miniaturization and higher density packaging in the semiconductor industry, and the growing trend of using lead-free solder paste. In terms of type, the lead-containing solder paste segment is expected to hold a major share of the market during the forecast period, owing to its low cost and high performance as compared to lead-free solder paste. However, with an increasing focus on environmental sustainability, lead-free solder pastes are expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
Water soluble solder paste is a type of solder paste that is designed to dissolve in water. This type of solder paste is often used in applications where a wetting agent is needed, such as when soldering copper pipes.
Lead-containing:
Lead-Containing pastes are water soluble and can be used for soldering various electronic components such as printed circuit boards, including surface mount devices. Lead-based pastes are preferred over lead-free pastes owing to the former's superior thermal properties. The growing demand for low smoke emission products in electronics manufacturing is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
Lead Free:
Lead-free solders are specially formulated to be used in electronics applications. They have low lead content and are free of heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium. The major factor that differentiates a lead-free solder from the conventional ones is its purity. Lead-free products contain less than 0.1% of lead by weight on account of which it is preferred for manufacturing water soluble solders (WSS).
Application Insights:
The semiconductor packaging segment led the global water soluble solder pastes market in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to factors such as growing demand for high-density chips, rising environmental concerns regarding electronic waste, and increasing focus on green technologies among various manufacturers across the globe.
Semiconductor manufacturing is one of the major applications driving demand for WSSP in SMT assembly as they offer several advantages including ease of installation along with enhanced thermal management capabilities that help reduce heat generation within boards resulting in improved overall efficiency. Furthermore, they also eliminate any chances of short circuits or fire hazards caused due to their non-flammable nature which further enhances their adoption rate across all industry verticals involved in semiconductor production activities including foundry and test & measurement equipment manufacturing facilities.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest regional market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounts for nearly half of global population and most of global trade. It is also one of the fastest-growing regions, with China being at the forefront. China has been a major consumer as well as producer of electronic products such as cellphones, laptops, personal computers etc.
The growth in Asia Pacific can be attributed to increasing per capita income coupled with growing middle-class populations that have greater spending capabilities; thereby driving demand from Packaging to Automotive & Transportation sectors.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the electronics industry for miniaturization and higher density packaging is expected to drive the market growth for water soluble solder pastes.
- Rising demand from the automotive sector for advanced safety features and fuel efficiency is also projected to propel market growth over the forecast period.
- Growing popularity of LED lighting owing to its energy-efficiency is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for water soluble solder paste manufacturers in the near future.
- Proliferation of 3D printing technology across a wide range of applications is likely to boost market demand over the next few years.
