India: PCB supply market is seriously imbalanced in domestic supply and demand

China Electroplating Network: The Ministry of Science and Technology under the Indian government expects that the Indian circuit board industry will grow by 30% every year in the next five years. At present, India's circuit board output value is only 1.18 billion rupees, which is in sharp contrast with the domestic market demand of circuit boards up to 2.39 billion rupees.

Only a few foreign companies plan to set up factories in India. According to the Indian Ministry of Science and Technology, if we want to balance the supply and demand of domestic circuit boards, the required investment will reach Rs 15 billion.

 City Master Dr.Hayao Nakahara believes that India has repeatedly mentioned the "30%" increase over the past 10-15 years, but India's circuit board production base is very small, more than 160 manufacturers create an annual output value of about 180 million US dollars. . Dr.Hayao Nakahara suspects that AT&S is the largest manufacturer in the local area with an annual revenue of more than $40 million;

The second largest manufacturer's annual revenue is only 15 million US dollars. The Finnish company Aspocomp, which plans to set up its first HDI PCB factory in India this year, will take years to reach full capacity.

However, as reported in India, India has a strong demand for PCBs. It is said that most of the circuit boards used in India are imported from China.

 The Indian Semiconductor Association (ISA) pointed out that despite the failure of many Indian PCB manufacturers, many companies wishing to join the industry are discouraged, and the establishment of some new PCB board design centers and new incentives for mass production will continue to promote India. The development of the PCB board industry.

 Pressure on new product development or product changes has prompted many OEMs to outsource hardware and system design to Indian companies. ISA pointed out: "OEMs are designing and designing centers in India and outsourcing work to local companies such as Wipro and HCL.

The entry of foreign electronics manufacturing service companies and the development of local companies are also driving the development of hardware design. In an effort to find complete VLSI, board design, hardware design and embedded software development solutions, international manufacturing giants such as Flextronics and Elcoteq have made major acquisitions in India.

Among them, Flextronics acquired five Indian companies within one year.

ISA said: "Hardware design and board design have matured in India... but few companies are competitive in very high frequency design. India has good strength in board layout and assembly, but in board production There is still a lack of it.

India set off a high-end PCB design game.

ISA pointed out that India's high-end board manufacturing will begin at the end of 2007. India's mobile phone growth rate exceeds mainland China According to the New York Times, India's Cellular Operators Association data said that India has become the fastest growing mobile phone market in the world. In August, India has 5.9 million new users.

More than 5.19 million users were added in mainland China this month.

Even though the middle class in many cities in India is growing, most of India, with a population of 1.1 billion, is still too poor or remote to receive cell phone services. As poverty is gradually reduced, mobile phone applications in India are expected to continue to grow;

In addition, low-cost calls and cheap mobile phones are also the reason for the surge in users. It is said that India is the country with the lowest cost per minute in the world.

The vast majority of subscriber growth has recently occurred. India began to introduce mobile phones in 1994, when the price of mobile phones and services was as high as several hundred dollars, and only wealthy people could afford them, but after the competition among the telecom operators caused the price to fall, it began to grow.

There are currently 123 million telephone subscribers in India, compared with 430 million telephone subscribers in mainland China.

 India plans to launch 3G services in 2012 According to cellular-news, India plans to launch 3G services in 2012. It is expected that by 2012, all cities and towns with a population of more than 100,000 will launch 3G services.

According to local media reports in India, the Indian government will soon issue relevant licenses. Since 3G services require a large amount of spectrum resources, the Indian government will work hard to release the spectrum that is currently occupied by some institutions such as national defense, but it has not been used, so that it can play a greater role.

The Indian government is concerned that the level of communication link services between urban and rural areas is too different, so it is trying to provide broadband services for every school and village management office. The Indian government also hopes to increase the penetration rate of telecommunications services in rural areas from the current 1.9% to 10% by 2010. The Indian government encourages higher education institutions to support 3G and IP research and provides equipment manufacturers with a range of facilitation strategies to encourage them to research facilities.
