Product Insights

The adhesives and sealants segment led the market and accounted for 31.9% of the global revenue share in 2022. Favorable outlook on future automotive and electronics manufacturing landscapes is expected to drive adhesive consumption; this trend is primarily a growth driving factor for dispensing equipment in the product category. 

Superior qualities of adhesives and sealants include fast drying, chemical resistance, exceptional abrasion, and excellent binding strength on a variety of substrates including metal, plastic, rubber, wood, and glass. These ingredients give adhesive firmness, low viscosity, and a shorter cure time. Over the projection period, the aforementioned factors will drive demand for adhesives and sealants.

Fluids such as lubricants, adhesives, sealants, underfill, solder paste, coatings, and flux are commonly applied using dispensing equipment. The level of usage of the fluid-specific equipment is significantly depending on the end-user. Lubricants, adhesives, sealants, and varnishes are commonly utilized in automotive component manufacturing applications. Although solder paste, epoxy underfill, flux, and epoxy adhesives are more often used in the production of electronic components. These aforementioned reasons will propel market growth in the coming years.

Lubricant segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.8% over the forecast period. This is attributed to the growing demand for automotive oils and greases as a result of the growing trade of vehicles and their spare parts. Lubricants are an essential part of rapidly expanding industries. They are used between two relatively moving parts of machinery to reduce friction and wear & tear. They can be either petroleum-based or water-based and are essential for proper machinery functioning. Lubricants also decrease operational downtime and eventually increase overall productivity, thereby driving market demand over the forecast period.

Application Insights

The electrical & electronics assembly segment led the market and accounted for 36.6% of the global revenue share in 2022. The high rate of electronic technological innovation is driving continual demand for better and faster electrical and electronic devices. This is predicted to raise demand for electrical and electronics assembly, driving market demand even further. Nordson Electronics Solutions, for instance, launched a system fluid for providing single-component thermal interface materials by combining the ASYMTEK Helios SD-960 Series fluid dispensing with the FS-EP1 Fluid Supply.

TianHao Dispensing, for instance, provides industrial manufacturing solutions to assist electronics manufacturers in increasing profitability through fluid dispensing solutions developed for the most demanding production settings. TianHao dispensing systems also increase yields and lower costs in electronics and electro-mechanical manufacturing. Component assembly, PCB assembly, packaging, fiber optics, SMT assembly, computer hardware, communications, mobile phone assembly, communications, security system controllers, visual display panels, and infrared sensors are examples of common uses.

Global Fluid Dispensing Equipment Market share and size, 2022

The medical segment accounted for 17.6 % of the global revenue share in 2022. The medical device and life sciences industries must adhere to severe quality and product consistency rules, making process control a crucial concern. For total traceability and process validation, all materials and production processes, including machining, assembly, and packaging, must be documented. This is especially relevant in fluid dispensing applications in medical device construction. In order to be manufactured, these applications require exact and consistent deposition of fluid quantities of cyanoacrylates, UV-cure adhesives, silicones, and other fluids.

Given the recent change in construction processes, the infrastructure sector has enormous growth potential. The introduction of prefabricated structures, the use of high-tech equipment for accurate measurement of structural components, and decreased masonry activity on the job site have transformed construction from a labor-intensive practice to an assembly line procedure. This operational shift has boosted the use of robotic systems and machines, notably in large infrastructure projects such as reservoirs, high-rise buildings, pavements, bridges, and other steel structures.

A crucial step in ensuring semiconductor packages are protected against radio frequency radiation, electrostatic discharge, mechanical damage, and heat is provided by fluid dispensing systems with a variety of pumps and valves. Applications requiring heat dissipation, underfill, and micro-dispensing of conductive epoxies, solder-paste, and encapsulates for multi-level packages and MEMS devices require fluid dispensing accuracy, speed, and dependability.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific region led the market and accounted for over 43.8% of the global revenue in 2022. The Asia Pacific market growth is likely to be spurred by the rapid expansion of the healthcare industry, as hospital, medical & dental service industry revenues have been rising at a rapid rate in recent years. Soaring demand for medical and surgical equipment and many new hospital construction projects have also fostered regional growth. Furthermore, major regional electronics players are introducing ground-breaking designs, with brands such as Xiaomi & Asus making great innovations in the lower end and flooding the marketplace with value-for-money gadgets & devices. These factors are driving the demand for precision fluid dispensers in the electrical & electronics industry.

The need for controlled applicators and robotic dispensing systems has increased as a result of legislative intervention supporting sustainable and renewable products in the transportation sector in Europe. Due to increasing funding and technology harmonization offered by governments of various area-member countries for conducting automation research and development operations, the region is also one of the world's top producers of motor vehicles. The industry will probably benefit from this in the long run.
