Due to the advantages of China’s huge domestic demand market, low labor cost and complete industrial supporting facilities, the global PCB production capacity has been continuously transferred to China since 2000, and China mainland PCB industry surpass Japan as the world’s largest producer in 2006.
With the increasing proportion of China’s PCB output value in the world, China’s mainland PCB industry has entered a stage of sustained and stable growth. In 2017, the output value of China’s PCB industry reached 28.08 billion us dollars, and the output value of China’s PCB industry will grow from 27.1 billion us dollars in 2016 to 31.16 billion us dollars in 2020, with a compound annual growth rate of 3.5%.
Development trend 1:
The degree of production automation is improved, and the production mode is changed
PCB industry is a labor-intensive industry. With the increase of labor cost, the enterprise will gradually carry out industrial automation transformation, and gradually change from manual production mode to automatic equipment production mode.
Development trend 2:
Policies continue to come out, the market development space is huge
Electronic information is the strategic pillar industry of our country’s key development, printed circuit board as the basic product of electronic products, the development of national policy, promote and guide the benign development of printed electronic board industry.
Development trend 3:
Automotive electronics drive PCB demand growth
The application field of PCB involves almost all electronic products, and it is an essential basic component of modern electronic equipment. The rapid growth of automotive electronics brings the corresponding demand growth of automotive PCB.
Development trend 4:
Pollution treatment, processing and production of products to environmental protection development
With the prominent ecological environment problems, the concept of green environmental protection in the electronics industry has been a consensus. Under the strict environmental protection standards, enterprises need to establish a more perfect environmental protection system, the future industry sustainable development, the future industry processing and production will be environmental protection direction.
