The development status of the printed circuit board industry
The development status of the printed circuit board industry
1. Printed circuit board market size
In recent years, the output value of printed circuit boards in my country has grown rapidly, and foreign advanced technology and equipment have been continuously introduced to develop the printed circuit board industry. At present, our country has become the country with the fastest growth in the output value of printed circuit boards in the world. The data shows that the output value of printed circuit boards in my country has increased from US$29.716 billion in 2017 to US$35.249 billion in 2020, with an average annual compound growth rate of 5.9%, which is higher than the global average growth level. With the rise of domestic brands of printed circuit boards inChina, it is expected that the output value of printed circuit boards in my country will reach US$38.936 billion in 2022.
2. Subdivision product structure of printed circuit boards
At present, our country's printed circuit board subdivision products mainly include multi-layer boards, flexible boards, HDI PCB(high-density interconnection boards), double-sided boards, single-sided boards, metal core PCB and packaging substrates. The data shows that in our country's printed circuit board subdivision products, multi-layer boards account for the largest proportion, reaching 45.97%, far exceeding other products; followed by flexible boards, accounting for 16.68%; HDI PCB accounted for 16.59%. In addition, the proportions of double-sided, single-sided, and package substrates were 11.34%, 6.13%, and 3.29%, respectively.
3. Market share of downstream applications of printed circuit boards
The main application areas of printed circuit boards include communications, computers, automotive electronics, consumer electronics, industrial control, lighting, military aviation, medical equipment and other fields. The development of downstream industries is the driving force for the growth of the printed circuit board industry. From the perspective of the market share of downstream applications of printed circuit boards, my country's printed circuit boards currently account for the largest proportion of applications in the fields of communications and computers, reaching 30% and 26% respectively. Second. Automotive electronics and consumer electronics accounted for 15% and 13% respectively. With the innovation and development of electronic terminal products, new electronic products continue to appear, which is expected to promote the stable development of the printed circuit board industry.
The development prospects of the printed circuit board industry
1. The policy is favorable for the development of the printed circuit board industry
As an indispensable basic component in modern electronic equipment, printed circuit boards play a key role in the electronic information industry chain. Therefore, the Chinese government and industry authorities have launched a series of industrial policies to support the printed circuit board industry. And encourage, not only "high-density interconnected laminates, single-layer, double-layer and multi-layer flexible boards, rigid-flex printed circuit boards and packaging carrier boards, high-density high-fine lines (line width / line spacing ≤ 0.05mm) ) Flexible circuit boards” are included in the catalogue of industries encouraged for foreign investment. It is also proposed to further implement intelligent manufacturing and green manufacturing projects, develop a new service-oriented manufacturing model, and promote high-end, intelligent and green manufacturing. Cultivate advanced manufacturing clusters, and promote the innovation and development of industries such as integrated circuits, aerospace, ship and marine engineering equipment, robots, advanced rail transit equipment, advanced power equipment, construction machinery, high-end CNC machine tools, medicine and medical equipment.
2. The development of5Gtechnology promotes the progress of PCB technology
5G high-frequency technology puts forward higher requirements for circuits, and the communication frequency band is further improved. In order to meet the needs of high frequency and high speed, and to cope with the problems of poor millimeter wave penetration and fast attenuation, the performance of PCB will also continue to develop, to find substrate materials that meet the high frequency application environment, and to achieve a qualitative leap in my country's PCB industry. In the future, under the accelerated penetration of emerging technologies such as5Gcommunication, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, industry 4.0, and the Internet of Things inChina, it is expected that my country's printed circuit board industry will enter a new cycle of technology and products.
3. Downstream applications drive the development of the printed circuit board industry
In order to adapt to the development of the downstream electronic equipment industry, the investment of enterprises in technology research and development and equipment continues to increase, and printed circuit boards continue to move closer to the direction of high precision, high density and high reliability, and continue to reduce size and improve performance. The application fields of printed circuit boards are becoming more and more extensive, especially in the field of automotive electronics. PCBs are used in four major systems: power control systems, safety control systems, body electronic systems, and communications. At the same time, with the development of autonomous driving technology and new energy vehicles, automotive PCBs will usher in a golden period of development, which will further drive the development of the printed circuit board industry.
