Global Industrial Computed Tomography Market Size will Reach $581.56 Million in 2023

Global Industrial Computed Tomography Market Overview

According to Global Market Monitor, the global industrial computed tomography market size will reach $596.56 million in 2023 with a CAGR of 7.73% from 2023 to 2028.

Industrial computed tomography is applied in many industries and research to examine components non-destructively and without contact, which is available to visualize material structures and flaws in components with high accuracy.

Miniaturization Trend of Semiconductor Packaging Mode

Electronic products are developing towards multifunction, high performance, miniaturization, and lightweight, and BGA (Ball Grid Array) packaging technology emerges as the times require. Industrial computed tomography is an indispensable tool to ensure the quality of invisible solder joints during PCB assembly. It can penetrate the inside of the package to directly detect the quality of solder joints. BGA and other devices with hidden solder connections are used in circuit assembly, and the requirements for detection precision and accuracy are also rising. With the trend of miniaturization of semiconductor product packaging methods, better industrial computed tomography is needed to ensure the miniaturization of product components.

Industrial Computed Tomography Alternatives

Even though the technology of industrial computed tomography has incomparable advantages, some factors have been restricting the application of this technology. First of all, the equipment is highly specialized and expensive, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Secondly, the product inspection efficiency is low, and a single CT inspection takes several times the cast of a radiographic or ultrasonic inspection. In addition, the threshold of industrial computed tomography is high. The user-friendliness is low due to complicated operation and parameter selection of data acquisition and processing, and it is difficult to balance the measurement size and accuracy.

Although industrial computed tomography has multiple advantages, its cost may be many times that of other 3D scanners. When trying to scan simple parts without hidden geometry, consumers prefer to choose optical or touch probe devices as alternative options. Although CT scanning provides excellent results, it may be overkill to use this advanced technology when another simpler and possibly cheaper option can also meet its needs.
