A printed wiring board exposure machine or PCB exposure machine, is equipment used in the manufacturing of printed circuit boards (PCBs). This machine plays a major role in the process of creating PCBs used in all electronic devices. PWB exposure machine transfers a PCB design onto a photosensitive material - photoresist. The process begins with a clean copper-clad board, which is coated with a thin layer of photoresist. The PCB design, created using computer-aided design (CAD) software, is then printed onto a film or transparency. This film is aligned and placed over the photoresist-coated board within the exposure machine. The exposure machine uses ultraviolet (UV) light to project the design onto the photoresist. After exposure, the board undergoes a chemical development process, which removes the unexposed photoresist, revealing the copper traces of the PCB design.

The rapid advancement of technology has led to the demand for complex and miniaturized electronic devices which augmented the demand for PCBs with different designs and finer traces. The growing demand for smart electronic gadgets and the high trend of automation tools have created a lucrative growth opportunity in the market. The proliferation of smartphones, tablets, wearables, and IoT devices has created a constant demand for high-quality PCBs which significantly enhances the market’s growth. Further, the automotive industry is another sector that incorporates an increasing number of electronic systems, from advanced infotainment systems to autonomous driving technology, thereby boosting the PWB exposure machine market’s growth. The surging demand for renewable energy and electrification globally has upsurged the growth of PWB exposure machines in the manufacturing of solar panels, wind turbines, and energy storage systems.

PWB Exposure Machine Market Segmental Analysis, 2023-2033

Based on type, the market is divided into manual, fully automatic, and semi-automatic. The semi-automatic segment accounted for the largest share in PWB exposure machine market in 2023. Semi-automatic machines is the combination of automation and human intervention, reducing the initial investment and operational costs compared to fully automatic counterparts. Small and medium enterprises prefer these affordable machines to optimize their production processes without investing huge capital. The semi-automatic machines offer more control and adaptability, allowing operators to efficiently complete the exposure process. Further, the growing demand for customization and the rising number of small and medium enterprises across the world is driving the segmental growth in the PWB exposure machine market.

Based on the regions, the global PWB exposure machine market has been segmented across Europe, North America, the Middle East & Africa, Asia-Pacific, and South America. The market share was predominantly held by the Asia Pacific region in 2023. China, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan are the major hubs for electronics manufacturing fuels the demand for PWB exposure machines market. Also, the expanding automotive industry in the region as well as surging demand for electric vehicles creates a lucrative demand for the market. The deployment of IoT devices and the advent of 5G networks are driving the demand for PCBs with high-frequency and low-latency capabilities. Further, labor costs in some Asian countries are cheap, which increases demand for the semi-automatic and manual PWB exposure machines market.
