2026-01-23 17:30:10

The global smartphone market is undergoing a critical transition from scale expansion to value deepening. According to the latest statistics from IDC, global market shipments reached 1.26 billion units in 2025, a year-on-year slight increase of 1.9%. Against the backdrop of slowing overall growth, high-end positioning and technological innovation have become a clear mainline. Goldman Sachs' 2026 Top 10 Trends Report also predicts that foldable screens and AI features may become the dual engines driving transformation in the smartphone market.



With the high-end positioning and technological complexity of smartphone manufacturing, cleanliness in the production process has evolved from a basic guarantee to a cornerstone that directly impacts product performance and production yield. This article aims to analyze the cleanliness challenges across the entire smartphone industrial chain and elaborate on BSL Cleanroom Wiper solutions, providing reliable support for high-end smartphone manufacturing.

Smartphone manufacturing is a highly complex system engineering project, with cleanliness control running through the entire process from upstream component manufacturing to downstream complete machine assembly.


Upstream Key Component Manufacturing

In the smartphone chip manufacturing process, maintaining an extremely clean and stable environment is crucial. Cleanroom Wipers used for wiping equipment and wafer carriers must feature ultra-low particle generation and zero chemical residues. In the camera module assembly process, the requirements for cleaning processes are extremely stringent. Micron-level scratches or residues on lens surfaces can damage optical coatings, directly affecting imaging quality—this demands that Cleanroom Wipers be extremely soft and lint-free, ensuring traceless and fog-free cleaning. In the production of OLED or LCD panels, especially during polarizer lamination and flexible substrate processing, particles can cause fatal bright or dark spots. Meanwhile, static electricity can adsorb dust and potentially break down microcircuits. Therefore, this segment requires Cleanroom Wipers to have the dual functions of efficient dirt adsorption and anti-static performance.


Midstream Complete Machine Assembly & Testing

Entering the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and complete machine assembly stage, the focus of cleanliness shifts from ambient air to interface cleaning. Before soldering, ionic contaminants and organic residues on PCB motherboards are potential risks leading to cold solder joints or short circuits, requiring Cleanroom Wipers to have extremely low chemical and particle residues.


Full-Process Support


In cleanrooms, Cleanroom Wipers are mainly used for daily maintenance wiping of equipment surfaces, workbenches and tools, imposing extremely high requirements on product cleanliness levels and durability.
