PCB (printed circuit board) as the mother of electronic components, is the most critical component of the electronics, communications and IT fields, and bears the bridge role of connecting the preceding and the following. It adorns every highlight of modern life. What is the competition pattern in PCB industry? What is the trend of its development?
1. PCB industry competition pattern
According to Prismark estimates, the global PCB 2016 annual output value reached 54 billion 207 million U.S. dollars, down 2.02%, of which Chinese Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, North America and other regions of the output value of PCB are negative growth, and China, PCB as a major production, is the only growth area, the output value reached $27 billion 104 million, annual growth of 1.43%.
In recent years, the output value of PCB China mainland in the world accounted for about 45% ranks first in the world; then China Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and Southeast Asia, thus, the global PCB industry is mainly concentrated in the above areas, if the PCB value contains the rest of Asia, accounted for the global total output value of 90% PCB in the world, the absolute dominant position.
According to statistics, at present, more than 2800 PCB manufacturers worldwide, there are more than 1500 factories in mainland China, the industry concentration is dispersed. From the view of the domestic manufacturers PCB geographical distribution, mainly concentrated in the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and the Bohai rim region, the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta region and accounted for about 90% of total output value, Chinese.
To sum up, both the international market and the domestic market all show the regional concentration of manufacturing production, but the scale of a single enterprise is generally small and highly dispersed.
2. trends in the PCB industry
The global PCB industry at the end of the era of rapid growth, especially under the background of a strong dollar, dollar statistics of the global PCB output has been negative growth, indicating that the PCB industry has gradually embarked on a relatively stable stage of development. By the macroeconomic impact of the economic downturn, in 2015 the global electronics industry downturn, the total output value of the global electronics industry for $18650, down 0.1%, presumably, the global electronics industry output in 2016 may maintain the situation in 2015.
In China, with the "2025 China manufacturing" was proposed, from the national level deployment of manufacturing strategy, proposed to vigorously promote the ten major breakthroughs in the field of development, focusing on a new generation of information technology industry, high-end CNC machine tools and robots, aerospace equipment, marine engineering equipment and high technology ships, advanced rail transportation equipment, energy saving and new energy vehicles, power equipment, agricultural equipment, new materials, bio pharmaceutical and medical devices such as high performance, provide a market opportunity for these key products for the development of PCB industry. We believe that PCB as the basic component of the electronic industry, with the development of strategic focus areas, decided that the PCB industry will follow the following three directions:
Light, small, high-density: with the PCB product application market to more high-end, intelligent, more frivolous, more functional, more sophisticated direction, PCB toward high-density, high multi layer, complex structure. The HDI board has adapted to this trend to some extent. And every time the electronic product technology rises, as the basic electronic components of PCB, its technical processing difficulties are increasing, HDI products are constantly challenging limit processing.
High frequency and high speed: the rapid development of information and communication technology has promoted the development of PCB products to high frequency. From the Internet to mobile communications, networking, big data, cloud computing, smart city is the new development of information and communication technologies, new applications, and the 4 industry traditional industrial production is introduced intelligent and personalized, also need information and communication technology. In order to adapt to high speed and large capacity communication, the transmission of high frequency and high speed of electronic equipment is the trend of development, and it is an inevitable trend for printed circuit boards to meet the requirements of high frequency and high speed.
Green production: if the efficient technology destroys ecological civilization, it will be abandoned by society. Key PCB green clean production is prevention, the end of treatment for the prevention of pollutants to control the production process, such as the recovery of copper etching solution in the etching production line, metal recycling, cleaning fluid in the plating line, wastewater recycling, and protect the environment can obtain economic benefits. Is the inevitable trend of development of global PCB.
