PSMs provide high-resolution circuit protection using photolithography, supporting next-generation applications such as 5G antennas, autonomous vehicle control units, and compact consumer gadgets. Both liquid and dry film variants offer strong thermal and chemical resistance while maintaining dimensional accuracy.
As electronics get smaller and smarter, solder mask chemistry must evolve," said a CVMI analyst. "We're seeing the biggest push from automotive EVs, LDI-based PCB manufacturing, and ultra-flex devices.
Taiyo, Sun Chemical, Hitachi, and Eternal lead in innovation. Their recent launches include high Tg masks for EVs, inkjet-based imaging systems for flex boards, and ultra-low halogen systems that comply with global sustainability mandates.
Asia-Pacific dominates the global landscape due to intense PCB fabrication activity and tier-one OEM presence. North America and Europe are expanding into advanced medical, defense, and industrial control systems that require high-reliability PSMs.
To succeed, manufacturers must prioritize compatibility with LDI, ultra-fine lines, and heat cycling resistance. Sustainability and process automation will shape future competitiveness.
