The South & Central America in-circuit tester market is expected to grow from US$ 31.48 million in 2022 to US$ 38.78 million by 2030. It is estimated to record a CAGR of 2.6% from 2022 to 2030.
Use of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Fuels South & Central America In-Circuit Tester Market
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms can analyze large amounts of data from ICT machines to identify patterns and anomalies that may indicate defects in printed circuit boards (PCBs). This can help enhance the accuracy and speed of defect detection, which can lead to a reduction in the number of defective PCBs that are shipped to customers. AI and ML can also be used to predict when ICT machines are likely to fail, which can help prevent interruption and reduce maintenance costs. This is particularly important for ICT machines that are used in high-volume manufacturing environments. Further, smart devices using AI need PCBs to make them functional, PCB designers and manufacturers are also utilizing AI. Artificial intelligence is assisting PCBs in developing newer and more efficient methods of PCB fabrication, optimizing costs, reducing scrap and turn-around times, and improving the utilization of supply chains, inventory, and assets. AI helps in two ways: it helps systems communicate with each other, and it helps systems communicate with operators. For instance, during PCB assembly, AI helps determine the precise placement of SMD components. This not only reduces the assembly time but also improves the quality of the board significantly. With the electronics industry moving rapidly toward form-factor miniaturization, fast and accurate placement of components prior to soldering is a huge advantage. Therefore, the increasing use of AI and ML is expected to have a significant positive impact on the in-circuit tester market. These technologies can help improve the accuracy, speed, and efficiency of ICT testing, which can lead to improved product quality, reduced costs, and increased customer satisfaction.
South & Central America In-Circuit Tester Market Overview
The South & Central America in-circuit tester market is segmented into Brazil, Argentina, and rest of SAM. Several manufacturers of electric motors, generators, and transformers are using PCBA and testing complex controller cards. For example, WEG, a leading electric engineering, power, and automation technology manufacturer, reported gains of 50% in PCB assembly testing time following the implementation of ABI's MIS 4 module in Brazil.
In SAM, several players provide in-circuit testers. For example, Dai-ichi Shoji Argentina SRL provides Takaya APT-3050 Circuit tester with Agilent TestJet Technology that enables the detection of board assembly faults. The increase in disposable income creates a demand for automotive vehicles in Brazil. Thus, various automotive manufacturers across Asia Pacific and North America plan to open an automotive manufacturing plant in Brazil. For instance, the Chinese car manufacturer Great Wall Motor (GWM) and General Motors (GM) opened a manufacturing plant in Brazil. According to the President and CEO of GM South America, Santiago Chamorro statement, in May 2023, GM the pioneer in industrializing electric vehicles in the country will introduce the of manufacturing of electric cars in Brazil in the second half of the decade. The battery is the electric vehicle's main component, and in-circuit testers play an important role in testing the electrical circuits and accessories. Thus, the demand for in-circuit testers is likely to increase in the Brazilian market soon.
