Analysis of the PCB industry is optimistic, rigid board orders growth

With the changes in industrial structure, in Asia and cost advantages, the manufacture of printed circuit boards has gradually withdrawn from Europe to Asia, especially China.

After nearly five years of large-scale restructuring, migration and technology renewal, the formation of a new global industry structure has been for many years.

The printed circuit board industry has embarked on a relatively stable development period, with seven major production centers in China/Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, the United States, Germany and Southeast Asia.

Asia, which accounts for 79.7% of the world's GDP. In 2006, China has replaced Japan as the world's largest printed circuit board industry.

Printed circuit boards are a large number of manufacturers in China, but a market share of a single small business, leading the market is not strong. According to statistics, the market share of China's printed circuit board industry, the largest company has only 3.12% market share, and most of the company shares less than 1%.

A large number of orders contributed to the global PCB industry in 2007 continued to strengthen, with orders and shipments reaching 1.08 in 7 months, still in existence in one or more. From the perspective of subdivided products, the sharp increase in orders for rigid circuit boards has driven the growth of the industry to be PCB orders.

 FPC orders decreased, but still reached the 1.08 order-to-ship ratio. In 2008, global PCB orders as a whole industry is still relatively optimistic. Printed circuit boards are products that are positioned at the low end by domestic enterprises. The ability to effectively transfer cost pressure will become an important indicator of profit changes.
