As per Growth Market Reports industry analyst Divjot Singh, “Global Test & Burn-in Socket Market is anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period 2022-2031.

A test socket is a device utilized in the electronics industry designed to perform functional and performance validation of integrated circuits (ICs) or other electronic components. It consists of a mechanical structure with multiple spring-loaded pins or pogo pins, which make electrical contact with the device under test (DUT), allowing for convenient attachment and removal of components during the testing process. Test sockets are deployed on printed circuit boards or test platforms to examine and evaluate the quality and effectiveness of the DUT before being used in final products. The burn-in socket, on the other hand, is used during the burn-in testing process, which subjects electronic components to thermal, electrical, and mechanical stresses to provoke early failures and ensure the reliability of surviving components.

Key factors that are anticipated to fuel the demand for the global Test & Burn-in Socket market during the forecast period are Increasing demand for consumer electronics and Growing adoption of automation in various industries. Conversely, High cost & maintenance and Short product life cycle of ICs hamper the market growth of the Test & Burn-in Socket market.
