According to statistics of PCB industry market research firm NT
Information is, driven by a gradual economic upturn, the global PCB
output value in 2014 was about 62.102 billion US dollars, the annual
growth rate is about 3.5%. In the PCB industry, About 45% of PCB
production come from mainland China, the main product types to standard
multilayer FR4 PCB, and there is rapid expansion towards the HDI boards,
flexible circuit boards, Besides South Korea, Taiwan and Japan also
important production bases of PCB.
In a general view, flexible circuit boards and high-density
interconnection boards (HDI) are two champion of growth in PCB market
recent years.
In today's market trend, big electronics brands are all in
researching wearable electronics, bring the flexible circuit board
manufacturers plenty of business opportunities; on the other hand, as
the level of electronics using in cars increase continually, flexible
circuit board for car using is also showing a rising trend. And in
promoting the 4G mobile communication terminal replacement trends, a
group of leading manufacturers of high-end HDI board have been actively
expanding production capacity to meet rapidly rising demand.
