PCB industry has developed rapidly

Since the reform and opening up, China has attracted a large-scale transfer of European and American manufacturing industries due to its preferential policies in labor resources, market and investment, and a large number of electronic products and manufacturers have set up factories in China, which has promoted the development of related industries including PCB. According to the statistics of China CPCA, in 26, the actual output of PCB in China reached 13 million square meters, with an output value of US$ 12.1 billion, accounting for 24.9% of the global PCB output value, surpassing Japan to become the first in the world. From 2 to 26, the average annual growth rate of China PCB market reached 2%, far exceeding the global average. In 28, the global financial crisis had a great impact on the PCB industry, but it didn't bring a disastrous blow to the PCB industry in China. Stimulated by the national economic policy, the PCB industry in China recovered in an all-round way in 21, and the output value of PCB in China in 21 was as high as 19.971 billion US dollars. Prismark predicts that China will maintain a compound annual growth rate of 8.1% from 21 to 215, which is higher than the global average growth rate of 5.4%.

unbalanced regional distribution

PCB industry in China is mainly distributed in South China and East China, which together account for 9% of the whole country, and the industrial agglomeration effect is obvious. This phenomenon is mainly related to the fact that the main production bases of China electronics industry are concentrated in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta.

distribution of downstream applications of PCB

the distribution of downstream applications of PCB industry in China is shown in the following figure. Consumer electronics accounted for the highest proportion, reaching 39%; Followed by computers, accounting for 22%; Communication accounts for 14%; Industrial control/medical instruments account for 14%; Automotive electronics account for 6%; National defense and aerospace accounted for 5%.

backward technology

although China is now the first in the world in terms of industrial scale, it still lags behind the world's advanced level in terms of the overall technical level of PCB industry. In terms of product structure, multi-layer boards account for most of the output value, but most of them are low-end products with less than 8 layers. HDI and flexible boards have a certain scale, but there is a gap with foreign advanced products such as Japan in terms of technical content. The IC carrier board with the highest technical content is rarely produced by domestic enterprises.
