The global solder mask market size was USD 919.6 million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 1216.19 million by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.77% during the forecast period. The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with Solder Mask Market 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.

A raw polymer alloy known as Solder Mask. The alloy composition is used in the creation of nickel steel since it includes the most nickel.  Major components of solder mask are nickel and iron. It also has a number of components with minimal calcium, a lot of silicon, aluminum, and iron oxides, and more. Depending on the type, solder mask can be utilized in a variety of industries, such as those involved in the construction, automotive, consumer products, health, and life sciences.

Throughout the anticipated period, demand for stainless steel is expected to increase in a number of industries, including the building and architecture, car, and (including kitchen sinks, cutlery and cookware). Stainless steel can be utilized as a structural material in architecture and construction. It appears that this element increases the solder masks market share.

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic to Affect the Market Growth

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and the ensuing lockdowns, regulations requiring social segregation, and trade sanctions seriously disrupted the world's supply chain networks, significantly limiting the growth of the solder masks business. Long-term lockdowns in several large economies halted industrial production, which had an effect on solder mask market growth. Two significant mining businesses, Asia and Global Solder Masks Holdings, stopped some of their operations in reaction to the epidemic. Various attendees made passing reference of the inadequate capacity to maintain current maintenance shutdown schedules. However, it is anticipated that due to the industrial sector's steady recovery and the commencement of mining activities, demand for solder masks will increase throughout the forecast timeframe.
