The increasing demand for consumer electronics is expected to propel the growth of the pick-and-place machines market going forward. Consumer electronics refers to electronic devices designed for everyday, private, or professional use by consumers or end users. Pick-and-place machines are essential in consumer electronics manufacturing because they automate the precise placement of miniature components onto circuit boards, ensuring high speed, accuracy, and efficiency in device production. For instance, in May 2023, according to the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association, a Japan-based trade association, Japan's electronic equipment production totaled 771.45 billion yen (approximately USD 5.6 billion). Consumer electronics output rose to 32.09 billion yen (around USD 233 million), up from 25.26 billion yen (about USD 183 million) in May 2022. Therefore, the increasing demand for consumer electronics is driving the growth of the pick-and-place machines market.

Major companies operating in the pick-and-place machines market are focused on introducing second-generation pick-and-place machines to enhance precision, increase placement speed, and improve overall efficiency in automated assembly processes. Proprietary 3DPS (3D Placement System) technology refers to an advanced system used in pick-and-place machines that enables highly accurate and efficient placement of components on circuit boards or other surfaces. For instance, in May 2024, Europlacer GmbH, a US-based company, launched iineo single-head and dual-head machines, specifically the ii-N1 and ii-N2 models. The ii-N1 supports a wide variety of components with a feeder capacity of up to 264 positions for 8mm tapes and can accommodate 10 internal matrix trays for loose components. It features a single rotary turret head equipped with either 8 or 12 smart nozzles, allowing for efficient placement rates of up to 15,390 components per hour (cph) under optimal conditions. The machine can handle PCBs ranging from 60mm x 45mm to a maximum size of 1610mm x 600mm, making it suitable for various production needs.

In September 2025, Secure Semiconductor Manufacturing Inc., a US-based semiconductor manufacturing company, acquired the full SMT line from Manncorp, Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Secure Semiconductor Manufacturing, Inc. aims to significantly enhance its electronics manufacturing capacity, improving its ability to supply secure, U.S.-made printed wiring boards and advanced assembled electronics to aerospace, defense, energy, commercial, and startup customers. Manncorp Inc. is a US-based company specializing in surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly equipment and turnkey SMT production lines, including stencil printers, pick-and-place machines, reflow ovens, inspection (AOI/X-ray), and soldering systems, enabling fully automated PCB assembly.
