IC Socket Market Segmentation:

Type Segment Analysis

In terms of type, the IC test socket segment in the IC socket market is predicted to surpass 55% share by the end of 2035. The requirement for testing to be done throughout the production cycle of any semiconductor utilized in microwaves, cellphones, or supercomputers is driving the growth of the IC Test Sockets segment in the market. Semiconductors, which are used in extremely complicated manufacturing processes, are becoming more and more popular. A modern microprocessor or graphic processor, for example, may have over 50 billion transistors and have a failure rate of almost one in every billion devices. In order to reduce the likelihood of future device failure, these intricate circuits need to be properly tested, which will sustain the market need for IC test sockets. This is poised to drive segment growth in the upcoming future in the IC socket market.

IC Test Socket Resin Type Segment Analysis

IC socket market from the PEI segment is estimated to grow at a high rate during forecast period. Due to its many benefits, including a low moisture retention rate that guarantees the dimensional stability of the IC socket, the PEI section of the IC socket industry is expanding. Accurate interactions with integrated circuits necessitate this. Polyphenylene ether (PPE) and polystyrene are combined to create polyetherimide (PEI) resin. Unlike other resin systems, the two polymer compounds in the PPX mixes are identical in all respects. This special characteristic allows polyphenylene goods to be made with heat deformations from 170 F (styrene) to over 350 F (PPE). Since both resins are by hydrolysis stable by nature, the blends can be used in a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels.
