5G consumer electronics upgrade to be accelerated, touching off new upsurge with PCB industry
The development of the global PCB industry now sees a significant eastward-moving tendency. In general, foreign-funded enterprises still dominate the market of high-end products, but the rise of the downstream local brands, such as Huawei, ZTE, Xiaomi, and Hikvision, leads to a new industry development theme in which domestic-funded enterprises shall prevail with localized alternatives.
Learn MoreThe technical threshold of PCB (printed circuit board) industry is relatively low. However, 5G communication features high frequency and high speed. Therefore, 5G PCB requires higher technology and thus the industry threshold is raised. The value of PCB in 5G base station is about 3 times that of 4G base station.

Learn MoreThe PCB (printed circuit board) industry accounts for the largest proportion in the global electronic components segment.
Learn MoreWhy the PCB industry is not impacted by China-US trade war and the decline of cellphone demands?
EEFOCUS news on September 2<sup>nd</sup> . In the context of China-US trade war and the decline in cellphone sales, Taiwan Printed Circuit Association (TPCA) released data on the PCB industry in the first half of the year, showing that the industry has reached a new high over the years.
Learn MoreThe price of key part CCL rises and PCB production costs increase
The world's second-largest copper clad laminate (CCL) manufacturer, Shengyi Technology Co., Ltd. (SYTECH) based in Mainland China, has demanded a price increase of 5% or so for different materials since September, thus firing the first shots among the wave of price hikes of key parts in the traditional peak season for electronics industry.
Learn MoreGlobal PCB Industry Market Status
PCB is an indispensable component in electronic products, its demand is stable and will continue to grow with the improvement of technology level. PCB industry has become a global big business with an annual output value of more than $50 billion. In 2018, the global PCB market output exceeded US$60billion. In the future, driven by the continuous development of the global electronic information industry, the global PCB market output value is expected to reach US$66 billion in 2019. Global PCB production is expected to reach nearly $70billion by 2020. The proportion of PCB production value in mainland China will continue to increase.
Learn MoreIn 2019, the global PCB is expected to increase by 2.9%. 5G and IoT drive industrial demand
The global PCB industry will continue to grow in 2019. With the vigorous development of new applications such as 5G, automotive internet, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, etc., more market opportunities and challenges will be ushered in. Among all these, High-frequency PCBs are rigid requirements. The key for PCBs to achieve high-frequency is based on high-frequency copper clad laminate materials (such as polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE), hydrocarbon, etc., and it also is based on PCB manufacturers' own processes. The challenges the PCB industry is facing are that the supply of raw materials is tight, the environmental protection policy is becoming stricter, which makes the threshold of PCB industry is gradually getting higher and the industrial concentration is gradually expanding.
