Will related industries be affected by this reverse order process technology?

Answer: Yes.The technology could eventually have a significant impact. Solder for electronics is a ~ $600 million annual market. This represents ~ 1% of the roughly 110 billion dollar EMS market. The effects will not be immediate, of course, because of the inertia of current manufacturing. The compelling advantages of Verdant’s approach is expected to have far-reaching effects that will include the manufacture of reflow ovens, flux manufacture and cleaning equipment and chemistry suppliers. Further, the disruption and compensatory response of the PWB fabrication and support industry will be similarly significant but it also opens doors to new opportunities.
