The global UV solder mask ink market is expected to reach US$914 million in 2029

UV Solder Mask Ink Market Summary

UV solder mask ink is a special ink mainly used in printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing. It quickly solidifies and hardens after exposure to ultraviolet light to form a protective film to protect the metal lines on the circuit board. Not subject to interference and corrosion from the external environment. It has the characteristics of fast curing, high hardness, excellent chemical stability and flame retardant properties, which can improve manufacturing efficiency, quality assurance and environmental protection, and is widely used in the electronic manufacturing industry.

​

According to the latest research report from GlobalInfoResearch, the global UV solder mask ink market is expected to reach US$914 million in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate of 5.96% in the next few years.
