Miniature components offer technical benefits such as improved efficiency, reliability, customization, and smooth machine function, which is expected to increase their adoption by various industries. The adoption of EDM wire has increased across numerous industrial applications, owing to the advantages such as lightweight, greater equipment design flexibility, and scope of customization. Further, they enhance the system’s overall functioning and advance manufacturing developments, thereby offering boulevards for market growth. The wave of electronics miniaturization is booming at an exponential rate. In current times, the production of electronic products integrated with high-tech feature is making demand for connectors high. Due to such huge requirement, connector mold companies are looking ahead for products which can make mold making of connectors easy and quick. With the uprising wave of high data transmission rates and miniaturization of connector interfaces spreading, the demand for connector molds is predicted to become more prevalent. Owing to the increase in demand for connectors, requirements for connector molds will also rise. Also, the punching speed utilized by the mold has touched 500–3000 rpm, a technical challenge faced by mold companies. Therefore, to acquire a position in the connector industry, the connector mold companies are seeking forward for making industrial adjustment. These steps taken by connector mold companies are projected to create the demand for high-performance connectors, which would also fuel the need for new EDM wires with a smaller diameter. The era of ultraprecise machining of miniaturized components is projected to receive high attention from end-use industries due to dynamic industrial needs and customer preferences. Owing to the rise in demand for less-invasive micro products, the requirement for EDM wire continues to grow regionally. In industries such as medical devices, the demand for the latest, smaller, innovative, and state-of-the-art micro devices is growing massively, which is paving the path for EDM wire machines with small cutting diameters for fabricating components.
