Global SMT First Article Inspection System Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global SMT First Article Inspection System market size is predicted to grow from US$ 214 million in 2025 to US$ 335 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2025 to 2031.
The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.
An SMT First Article Inspection (FAI) System is a specialized setup within Surface Mount Technology (SMT) assembly lines that is dedicated to the initial examination and validation of the first batch of assembled printed circuit boards (PCBs). This system employs various inspection methods, such as automated optical inspection (AOI), X-ray inspection, and manual visual inspection, to meticulously scrutinize the quality of components placement, solder joints, and overall assembly integrity of the initial PCBs. The purpose of the FAI system is to ensure that the first articles meet the required specifications and quality standards before full-scale production begins.
The SMT (Surface Mount Technology) First Article Inspection System market encompasses automated solutions designed to verify the accuracy and quality of the inaugural output (or “first article”) from a PCB assembly line. These systems combine advanced imaging (e.g., high-resolution cameras or X-ray) with component recognition, BOM cross-referencing, and coordinate validation to swiftly detect placement, orientation, or soldering issues before full-scale production begins ([scspcba.com][1]). By integrating with manufacturing execution systems, they ensure rapid, reproducible first-article verification—often completed within minutes—which enhances traceability, minimizes downstream defects, and accelerates production ramp-up for OEM/ODM operations.
