The South America ultra-low alpha metals market is expected to grow from US$ 95.20 million in 2021 to US$ 143.69 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2021 to 2028.
The implementation of legislation such as RoHS and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) has led to the growing adoption of Pb-free ultra-low alpha metals in the production of electronic products. The primary alloys categorized as lead-free ultra-low alpha solders are Sn-Ag and Sn-Ag-Cu, as well as alloy systems composed of Bi, Sb, and others. The growing concern toward alpha emission, along with the rising focus on using environment-friendly materials, has led to the use of lead-free alloys. However, in the current scenario, several development activities have been oriented toward the development of Pb-free solders to meet up the manufacturability and reliability expectations from the industries. the demand for high-performing ULA Lead-free alloys is rising from the automotive industry. For instance, the increased use of advanced electronic components such as logic control, switches, and sensors, in advanced car set-up has paved the demand for such metals. Further, the electronification of car systems such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and the incorporation of multimedia systems in cars have driven the demand for advanced electronic components with miniaturized materials and sub-parts. All these requirements have motivated the solder manufacturers and researchers to come up with advanced alloys that can offer extended support for such advanced platforms. This implies the upgrade of conventional Pb-free solder alloys such as SnCu, silver-copper (SAC), and low SAC in fulfilling the demand from such platforms. The growing demand for advanced auto electronics and avionics, along with the growing implementation of a novel set of requirements in terms of solder joint reliability, is expected to fuel the need for advanced ultra-low alpha lead-free solders.
In South America, Brazil reported a huge number of COVID-19 cases, which led to the discontinuation of several business operations, including ultra-low alpha metals manufacturing activities. The disruption in the supply chain with volatility in raw material pricing and sourcing in the initial weeks of lockdown has impacted the industrial products and processes. However, as the economies are planning to revive their operations, the demand for ultra-low alpha metals is expected to rise in South America. However, the focus on just-in-time production is another concerning factor hindering market growth. The increasing demand for advanced industrial materials backed by the growth of end-use industries such as electronics, aerospace & defense, automotive, medical, and telecommunication is expected to contribute to the market's growth. Further, significant investments by prominent manufacturers in advancing ultra-low alpha lead-free alloys are expected to drive the ultra-low alpha metals market
