Printed circuit boards are a crucial substrate for electronic parts assembly, with a global output value of $45 billion per year, predominantly driven by China’s rapid growth and market advantages. The industry is shifting towards China, especially in the high-end segment, leading to increased production capacity and development towards high-end products. This trend is also affecting the copper clad laminate (CCL) and downstream machine products market, with concentration and pricing pressures in the short term but opportunities for small-scale manufacturers in specific market segments. The industry is facing challenges from raw material price increases, environmental regulations, and the need for technological innovation to meet emerging industry and customer demands.
