According to a survey conducted by a company named Geospace Technologies, the value of the printed circuit board (PCB) market is expected to keep growing by 5% up until 2030. This critical technology is only becoming more important to all industries. The market growth is driven by the rising demand for electronics, technical improvements, automation, and the adoption of PCBs across various industries.

Ensuring the reliability of electronic components is mission-critical in today's automobile sector. These electronics, which range from complicated ECUs to simple wiper sensor boards and anti-collision sensors, constitute the lifeblood of modern vehicles, affecting safety, efficiency, and general operation. Products in in-circuit tester market check and measure each component on a printed circuit board, allowing for the detection and elimination of problematic components. A high degree of automation is possible, depending on the assembly. Further, many companies provide in-circuit testing systems. For instance, a company named Teradyne provides in-circuit test systems that enable manufacturers to react to rapidly changing product requirements easily. They share a similar software environment and can be configured to detect basic shorts from a few test points to more than 15,000 test points for more complicated PCBAs. There is a TestStation configuration to match the production requirements at the maximum fault coverage and yield rate, regardless of volume, mix, or test complexity. Thus, considering the above factors, the adoption of ICT is increasing in automotive electrical testing.

The integration of complicated electronics, such as upgraded processors, high-frequency components, and various communication interfaces, is required for the realization of 5G technology. The sophistication of these gadgets, such as 5G smartphones, routers, and base stations, poses functional, signal integrity, and power consumption concerns. In-circuit testing is extremely important in ensuring that these sophisticated circuits work properly, confirming signal integrity, and identifying potential manufacturing defects. The rising complexity of 5G devices presents a vast potential for the in-circuit tester market to flourish. The 5G technology runs at higher frequency bands, such as millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequencies, which are currently being developed with distinct testing challenges. Higher frequencies necessitate precise signal integrity testing, reduced signal loss, and effective noise reduction suppression techniques. In-circuit testing allows for the analysis of high-frequency signal routes, revealing potential impedance mismatches, signal quality concerns, and noise sources. This is likely to provide a growth opportunity for the in-circuit tester market as these testers are required to confirm the performance of high-frequency circuits and assure compliance with strict 5G specifications.
