FULLY AUTOMATIC INSERTION MARKET OVERVIEW

Global fully automatic insertion market size was USD 106.79 Billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 224.03 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period.

Automatic Insertion Machine, or "automatic plug-in machine," is a mechanical device that mechanically inserts some of the common electronic components into the printed circuit board's conductive through-hole. The automatic insertion machine is a device that, in accordance with the programme, automatically mounts the braided electronic components on the printed circuit board. Workers are mostly used in the traditional electronic assembly industry to insert electronic components onto the circuit board. Since the machine started producing in large quantities, the manual plug-ins have been slow and the flaws in shoddy construction have become apparent.

FULLY AUTOMATIC INSERTION MARKET KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Imposed Restrictions in the Economy Resulted in Decline in the Market

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the Global Fully Automatic Insertion Market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 outbreak caused temporary business closures as well as supply chain and manufacturing disruptions, which in turn reduced the development of telecom infrastructure and had a negative effect on the sales and marketing efforts of rugged phone companies competing in the market. The effects were severe, particularly for startups and small- to medium-sized businesses operating in this industry. Companies did, however, make a lot of restructuring efforts to address the supply chain difficulties and improve collaboration with suppliers and partners to lessen the negative market impact.

LATEST TRENDS

Growth of the market in recent years

The plug-in process level can be raised by using an insertion machine to automatically put the electronic components on the circuit board in order to save manpower expenses. Capacitors, inductors, connections, etc. are mostly used in the automatic insertion machine's operation. The plug-in components of each station's job will be divided by the engineering team during the design phase based on workload and logic. To reduce the possibility of error, each computer is only responsible for installing a few components and repeating the same process. The paper also discusses how high inflation affects the world economy and provides information on fiscal measures and countermeasures to lessen its effects on demand, supply, cash flow, and currency exchange.

• Surge in Equipment Shipments: According to SEMI (the global semiconductor equipment association), overall semiconductor‐equipment shipments—which include fully automatic insertion machines—grew 10 % in 2024, rebounding from a slight dip in 2023

• Dominant Automation Share: Fully automatic insertion machines now account for 65 % of all new through‑hole insertion equipment deployments worldwide, vastly outpacing semi‑automatic alternatives.

DRIVING FACTORS

The Utilization as a Catalyst to Boost the Market Growth

The need for electronic products like smartphones, tablets, laptops, and smart appliances is increasing, which is why high-speed and efficient PCB assembly is necessary. In order to fulfil the rising demand for electronic products, fully automatic insertion systems enable faster production and higher throughput. Fully autonomous insertion systems have become increasingly complex and effective as a result of the ongoing developments in automation and robotics technology. These technologies provide more precision, faster processing, and greater flexibility, which boosts production and lowers costs.

Extensive Application in Laundering Process to Multiply the Production and Market Growth

Electronic components are becoming smaller, which calls for sophisticated assembly techniques that can handle smaller, more sensitive parts. Fully automatic insertion systems are capable of precisely handling tiny components and ensuring their placement, which is necessary for electronic devices that have been reduced in size. The PCB assembly process is streamlined with fully automatic insertion devices since they do not require manual labor and have lower human error rates. They are capable of handling huge component numbers and achieving higher placement precision, which leads to increased production efficiency and lower manufacturing costs.

• Dramatic Setup‐Time Reduction: ASMPT reports that its Automated Program Change function (based on IPC‑HERMES®‑9852 standards) has delivered up to 35 % shorter setup times on SMT lines, directly boosting line throughput 

• Rapid ROI via Smart Pin Support: SIPLACE Smart Pin Support (retrofittable to existing pick‑and‑place heads) cuts manual pin‑placement by roughly 20 minutes per changeover—paying for itself in just two months on a typical high‑mix line

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Several Challenges Associated with the Local Irritation to Restrain the Market

Fully autonomous insertion systems need a considerable capital investment, including the cost of the necessary hardware, software, and training. Small and medium-sized electronics firms may find it difficult to adopt automated assembly techniques due to the significant initial expenditure. Certain electronic assemblies have intricate designs and delicate parts that need to be handled with care. Such components may be difficult for fully autonomous insertion systems to place properly, which could restrict their use in some industries or for particular assembly requirements. Fully automatic insertion systems require expert operators and routine maintenance to operate at their best. Some manufacturers, particularly those with limited resources or knowledge, may be constrained by the maintenance costs and the requirement for qualified employees.

• Partial Standard Adoption: As of January 2025, only 48 % of global SMT production lines supported the IPC‑HERMES®‑9852 interface needed for seamless, cross‑setup automatic changeovers—limiting full‑line automation.

• Legacy‐Equipment Integration Gaps: Over 60 % of electronics manufacturers report operational inefficiencies due to inadequate connectivity between legacy pick‑and‑place machines and modern line‑control systems.
