Breadboards Market

Market overview

Earlier, the construction base used for prototyping of electronics was a plugboard. With the evolution of technology, breadboard came into existence. Today, a breadboard is made of white plastic and is solderless. Solderless breadboards available today consist of a perforated block of plastic consisting of multiple types of spring clips called tie points placed under the perforations. The designing and manufacturing of electronic devices is very expensive and thus, requires tools, such as breadboards, which provide a temporary prototype.

Breadboards are available in various forms, such as breadboards-bus strips, breadboards-mounted, breadboards-powered and breadboards-singles. The adoption of breadboards is increasing rapidly due to the multiple advantages they offer. Breadboards allow components to be quickly changed and also protect them against heat. Low cost and easy availability are other factors driving the growth of the breadboards market.

Adoption of breadboards is increasing nowadays. Vendors in the breadboard market are focusing on designing advanced solderless breadboards that are mounted on flat casing, which consists of additional equipment, such as a power supply or multiple signal generators. Vendors are also focusing on innovating new designs, colors and sizes to increase applications of breadboards.

Breadboards Market: Drivers and Restraints

Solderless breadboards do not require soldering and thus, are highly reusable. Thus, it becomes easy to create temporary prototypes and perform an experiment with various circuit designs. Breadboards allow users to make temporary circuits and facilitate prototyping. Also, breadboards are widely used for testing of new parts, such as integrated circuits. These factors are driving the growth of the breadboards market.

Solderless breadboards provide high resistance, large parasitic capacitance and high inductance. Thus, breadboards are limited to operations that require low frequencies. This factor may hamper the growth of the breadboards market. Also, breadboards can only accommodate devices or components that have grid spacing of 0.1 inches. Thus, they cannot accommodate devices, such as surface mount technology or components with multiple rows of connectors. This is another factor that might hamper the growth of breadboards in the market.
