FLYING PROBE TESTER MARKET OVERVIEW

The global flying probe tester market size was USD 0.13 billion in 2024 and the market is projected to touch USD 0.17 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 2.8% during the forecast period.

A printed circuit board's electrical integrity can be checked with a flying probe tester. A flying probe tester operates by sweeping a series of tiny probes (or "fingers") across the PCB surface. When the probes come into touch with any electrical wiring on the PCB, any imperfections will be found. A flying probe tester serves as a crucial device for finding and fixing PCB flaws. Both product reliability and manufacturing costs may be improved.

A flying probe tester's dual-sided probing function enables the tester to program and electrically test parts of the printed circuit board (PCB) compared to both ends of the board. This makes it possible for the tester to reach parts such BGAs and SMDs that are located on the opposite side of the board. This is a crucial feature since it broadens the variety of components that may be programmed and tested on a PCB.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Slowdown in Critical Activities to Deplete Market Share 

The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, flying probe tester experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Numerous sectors all across the world were severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in its early stages. Flying probe tester are a component of the electronics sector, which also had both positive and negative effects of COVID-19. The manufacturers first had trouble meeting demand because of supply chain disruptions, but as positive instances gradually decreased, the pressure subsided, allowing them to resume full-fledged operations.

In the coming years, the analyzed flying probe tester market share is anticipated to see new growth opportunities due to the increasing acceptance of technological advances and smart electronic gadgets.

LATEST TRENDS

Original Equipment Manufacturers to Stimulate Market Development 

The original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) sector dominated the market globally in 2014. The large percentage for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), who are in charge of producing and timely delivering goods to end-user markets, is one element that contributes to the high share. In addition, OEMs may benefit from increasing market penetration due to regulatory bodies' strict quality criteria.

Due to benefits including flexibility, economy of scale, and uniformity provided by this type of testing across numerous countries globally, the EMS industry is anticipated to experience considerable expansion during the forecast period.

FLYING PROBE TESTER MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type; the market is divided into single sided probing tester, dual sided probing tester

Single sided probing tester is the leading part of the type segment.

By Application

Based on the application; the market is divided into PCB manufacturers, electronic manufacturing service (EMS)

PCB manufacturers is the leading part of the application segment.

DRIVING FACTORS

Use of PCBs in Linked Automobiles to Aid Market Expansion 

The market has expanded as a result of the use of PCBs in linked automobiles. These completely wired and wireless vehicles make it simple for cars to be linked to computer devices including smartphones because they are so well-equipped. With this technology, drivers can follow their cars using their smartphones, check the battery life of their electric cars, and operate climate control systems remotely.

Incorporation of Single-Sided Approach to Foster Industry Progress

These probe testers use the single-sided probing approach to enable a single probe to reach both ends of a board or gadget. To achieve contact on both sides, the single probe is slid across the board. Devices having restricted access, including those with surfaces mount parts on both sides, can benefit from using this technique.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Simultaneous Testing of the Components to Stop Market Evolution

Small holes may be formed in the solder as a result of the tester touching with the soldering on the test pads and through holes. These little pits could be viewed as aesthetic flaws and rejected by some clients. Because the probes occasionally contact part leads when there is not a test pad, lose or improperly soldered part leads may go undetected.

When using a probe tester, the user must test one side before turning it over to test the other. As a result, a probe tester is unable to simultaneously test the components on the top and bottom of the double-sided PCB which is a crucial component for depleting the market in the coming years.
