Underfill is typically utilized to spread and redistribute the thermo-mechanical stress caused by the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) mismatch between the silicon chip and organic substrate to improve the reliability of a CSP, BGA, or flip chip on an organic board package. These underfills are manufactured from various substances, including epoxy, silica, alumina, silica gel, urethane, and many others.

Electronic board level underfill materials provide mechanical reinforcement to the solder joints and solder balls that connect a chip to a printed circuit board. Thus, they play a key role in extending thermal aging and the lifetime of electronic devices.

Rising usage of consumer electronic products, such as smartphones, tablets, cameras, laptops, etc., worldwide is proving a major impetus to the growth of the electronic board level underfill material market, and the trend is likely to continue during the forecast period.

Over the years, rapid penetration of digitalization and fast internet has resulted in the rapid growth of the smartphone industry. People choose smartphones over other electronic devices like PCs and laptops due to their mobility, usability, and affordable price. This surge in the adoption of smartphones, along with the continuous introduction of new generation smartphones at affordable prices, is expected to act as a catalyst triggering growth in the electronic board level underfill material market.

2018 to 2022 Electronic Board Level Underfill Material Market Outlook Compared to 2023 to 2033 Forecast

The global electronic board level underfill material market is set to expand at 5.3% CAGR between 2023 and 2033, compared to 3.1% CAGR registered during the hand 2022. Growing usage of electronic devices and the ongoing trend of miniaturization and development of multi-feature electronic devices are key factors expected to boost growth in the global electronic board level underfill material market during the forecast period.

The growing propensity towards miniaturization of electronic devices is consistently increasing the number of components on printed circuit boards (PCBs), propelling the demand graph of smaller, thinner, highly integrated printed circuit boards (PCBs) incorporated with flip chip and other advanced technologies. This will continue to generate lucrative growth opportunities for the electronic board-level underfill material market during the assessment period.

Similarly, the booming electronic industry across the world, rapid penetration of digitalization, and rise in the export of electronic products will boost the demand for electronic board level underfill materials over the next ten years.

What are the Key Trends Driving the Electronic Board Level Underfill Material Market?

Rising Investments in Electronics Production to Push Sales of Electronic Board Level Underfill Materials in the Market

The electronic industry is one of the economy's most dynamic sectors, and its meteoric rise has prompted major shifts in funding. The integration of manufacturing networks in the electronics sector has benefited the ASEAN region, allowing for better commerce with bigger Asian economies like China.

China, however, is crucial not as a rival but as a developing market for the Asian electronic sector. China acquires raw materials and components from other Asian nations and then ships them all over the globe. For instance, in January 2016, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in partnership with an industry group and Ping and Bank, set up a USD 30 billion fund for the electronic industry in China. This fund helps address the issues faced by small and medium-sized electronic manufacturers, which have folded recently. This fund has also expanded the country's technology capabilities and supports the country's significant electronics supply chain. Thus, a rapid surge in electronics production will continue to foster the global electronic board level underfill material market growth during the forecast period.

Increasing Prominence of Miniaturization of Electronic Components to Supplement Market Growth

Miniaturization of electronic devices has increased the number of components on a printed circuit board. This growing trend has increased demand for smaller, thinner, and more highly integrated printed circuit boards (PCBs) populated with flip chip technology. These nanotechnology and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are growing in functionality and acceptance in most applications among various industries, such as consumer electronics and others. The current pace of miniaturization of electronic devices will result in a surge in demand for PCBs shortly. Miniaturization of electronic devices, such as laptops, smartphones, consumer electronics, and many more, has led to increased usage of underfills materials in encapsulation and cavity filling type applications, thereby creating growth prospects for the global electronic board level underfill material market.
