According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global ENEPIG Process market size was valued at US$ 161 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 219 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.6% during review period.
ENEPIG is a commonly used precious metal final surface treatment technology for printed circuit boards and packaging substrates. It involves sequentially depositing three layers of metal onto the copper pads: electroless nickel, electroless palladium, and immersion gold. The bottom layer, typically 3–5 μm thick, provides a copper diffusion barrier and mechanical support; the extremely thin intermediate palladium layer, approximately 0.05–0.2 μm thick, prevents nickel oxidation and acts as a diffusion buffer during soldering or bonding; and the outermost gold layer, approximately 0.03–0.1 μm thick, protects the palladium layer and provides an inert, solderable, and bondable contact interface. Thanks to its compatibility with both lead-free soldering and gold/aluminum wire bonding, high surface flatness, and excellent corrosion resistance and storage performance, ENEPIG is often referred to in the industry as a "universal final surface treatment."
Due to its excellent solderability, gold wire bonding capabilities, and oxidation resistance, ENEPIG has become the preferred surface treatment technology for high-end PCBs and semiconductor packaging substrates. With the explosive demand for high frequency, high speed, high integration, and high reliability in communications, artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and electric vehicle electronic systems, the adoption rate of ENEPIG in these critical application areas is continuously accelerating.
The core chemical technologies and market for ENEPIG are primarily monopolized by a few international giants such as C. Uyemura, Atotech, and Qnity Electronics.
However, in an environment where 5G is widely adopted, the currently widely used nickel will face challenges. Nickel is magnetic and acts as a resistor, reducing receiving performance, which is crucial for 5G electronic devices. The industry has already seen the emergence of Ni-less and Ni-free terminal processing solutions based on ENEPIG technology.
