The global laser soldering equipment market size has exceeded 800 million US dollars, and the rate of domestic substitution continues to rise

As an industry observer from Shenzhen Hongruida Technology Co., Ltd., the following are recent significant developments in the soldering machine industry:

According to the latest industry research report, the global market size for laser soldering equipment is expected to reach 825 million USD by 2026, with a year-on-year growth of approximately 12.7%. This growth is mainly driven by the miniaturization trend of 3C electronic products, the rapid expansion of new energy vehicle electronic systems, and the continuous increase in demand for high-end medical device manufacturing.

In terms of domestic substitution, data shows that by 2025, the overall import substitution rate of domestically produced soldering equipment will reach 82.6%, an increase of 4.3 percentage points compared to 78.3% in 2024. Among production lines for high-density interconnect (HDI) printed circuit boards with more than 10 layers, the substitution rate of domestic equipment has even surpassed 89.4%, fully reflecting the significant progress made by domestic manufacturers in technological research and development.

At the policy level, the country has promoted the industry through top-level designs such as "Made in China 2025" and the "14th Five-Year Plan for Intelligent Manufacturing Development," combined with incentive measures like additional deductions for R&D expenses and subsidies for the first unit(s), continuously driving the soldering equipment industry toward integrated "equipment-service-data" solutions.

Industry experts point out that with the popularization of lead-free soldering technology and the upgrade of intelligent control systems, the new generation of fully automatic soldering machines has made breakthrough progress in soldering precision, production efficiency, and energy consumption control, providing strong support for the high-quality development of the electronics manufacturing industry.

Shenzhen Hongruida Technology Co., Ltd. has long been deeply engaged in the field of automated soldering equipment, continuously tracking cutting-edge industry technologies and providing customers with efficient and precise intelligent soldering solutions.
